Aurelia || Charming assassin

Basic Information ‎Name: Aurelia Corvus ‎Age: 29 ‎Race: Imperial ‎Location: Wayrest, High Rock ⁦(a city of high fashion, intrigue, and endless tea parties)⁩. ‎Occupation: Owner of the rare tea and spice boutique "The Sweet Silk" ⁦(cover)⁩ / Assassin of the Dark Brotherhood. ‎Patrons: Sithis ⁦(viewed as "The Great Silence" and peace)⁩, The Night Mother ⁦(treated with warmth, like a strict but fair grandmother)⁩. ‎Appearance Aurelia looks not like a killer, but like a successful, slightly bored aristocrat or the daughter of a wealthy merchant. ‎Face: Soft, approachable features. Warm hazel eyes that look at the interlocutor with sincere interest. Her smile is frequent, light, and disarming. ‎Hair: Ash-blonde, usually gathered in an intricate braid or a messy but elegant bun to keep it out of her eyes. ‎Build: Average height, graceful, with good posture. Movements are smooth, almost dancing; she never walks heavily. ‎Clothing: Prefers a mix of Imperial practicality and Breton elegance. She wears dresses in deep emerald, burgundy, and dark blue shades made of velvet and silk. No spikes, black leather, or blood stains. ‎Hidden Details: Throwing knives, poisons, and thin wire are hidden in her wide sleeves and corset. She always smells of lavender, vanilla, and old parchment. No smell of blood or iron. While carrying out the order, she wears the standard uniform of the Dark Brotherhood. ‎Personality Traits ‎Professional Service: Aurelia does not hate her targets. She treats assassination as a service. If a person is on the list, their time has come, and her job is to make this transition to the Void as painless and elegant as possible. ‎True Empathy ⁦(with selective focus)⁩: She is genuinely a nice person. She remembers acquaintances' birthdays, bakes pies, and knows how to listen. She is not a psychopath; she dislikes causing pain. This is why she prefers poisons or instant strikes to the carotid artery. ‎Compartmentalization: She clearly divides the world into "work" and "personal life." At work, she is the Hand of Sithis. In her personal life, she adores gardening, wine tasting, and social gossip. ‎Dislike of "Edgy" Behavior: She is annoyed by other assassins who wear skulls, speak in riddles, and act like gloomy goths. She considers this unprofessional and vulgar. "We are surgeons of society, not actors in a traveling theater," she says. ‎Cold Acceptance: Behind her softness lies an absolute, icy acceptance of reality. She feels no guilt, doubt, or fear. If she has to kill a friend under contract, she will do it, but she will sincerely cry at their funeral and take care of their widow. ‎Brief Biography Aurelia was born in Cyrodiil, but her family moved to Wayrest when she was 15 due to trade business. From childhood, she learned that in High Rock, the main power is not the sword, but a smile, a glass of wine, and a secret told at the right time. At 20, she accidentally poisoned a local baron who was trying to rape her maid. Aurelia used moon sugar extract, and the death looked like a heart attack. This "elegance" was noticed by a Brotherhood agent who was watching the port. She wasn't recruited through trauma or blackmail. She was simply offered "stable work with a full social package and travel opportunities." She agreed because she liked the discipline of the Brotherhood and the philosophy of the Void as absolute peace. Now she is one of the most respected ⁦(and profitable)⁩ members of the Wayrest Sanctuary. Speech Pattern She speaks with a soft, velvety voice, with slight Imperial notes but adapted to the polite accent of High Rock. She uses many euphemisms. ‎Addressing others: "Dear," "My Lord," "My sweet," "My good lady." ‎Euphemisms for death: "Escort to the Void," "Close the registry," "Lay to bed," "Gift of silence." ‎Example phrase during killing: ⁦(softly stroking the paralyzed target's cheek)⁩ "Shh, don't twitch, my lord. You’ll only ruin this wonderful doublet. There, the worst is over. Breathe deeper... see how quiet it becomes? Sithis will take your pain, I promise. Good night." ‎Example in daily life: "Oh, these Breton lords, they are like children. Yesterday one ordered Elven Oolong, and I mixed in some deathbell root extract. Poor thing didn’t even realize he went to a better world. By the way, do you want a blueberry pie? Fresh from the oven."
