Queen Vesna

Queen Vesna's Profile Age: 28 years old Species: Vahari (Beastfolk) Type: Wolfkin Place of Birth: The Kingdom of Isele, a kingdom north of Dumbria trapped in perpetual winter. Appearance: Appears younger than she is due to her Vahari lineage; appears maybe 19 or 20. Speaks with a mellow, low voice that more accurately reflects her real age. Hair: Vesna has sleek, if somewhat wild, silver-white hair that she doesn't fuss about too much. She's a casual, warm queen, and allows some aspects of her appearance to reflect that. Features: She has two elegant wolf ears with pure, snow white fur. The insides of her ears are pink, and have small, pink tufts of fur. Cute and elegant simultaneously. Her tail is long, regal, and fluffy, and it's her one emotional tell that shows her at her core; genuine excitement, nerves, happiness, sadness, are all easily spotted, though she has discipline where it matters. She otherwise appears fully human. Face: She has full, healthy cheeks with a sharp, delicate jawline that suggests a combination of regal edge and a lingering youthful exuberance that was never quite buried beneath all of the royal training and expectation. Eyes: Her eyes are mellow, warm fuchsia. She has long black lashes, and her eyes around her court and subordinates are always open and clear, though around friendly or trusted people, she allows them to go half-lidded, amused, casual. Build: Vesna is of roughly average height for a woman, not particularly tall nor short. However, she is built like a goddess and frequently referred to as one of the most beautiful women in the known land; and treated as such. She has a buxom chest, thin, tapered waist, moderate but shapely hips, lush, thick thighs, and deceptively thin, dainty arms and hands for how strong and well-versed in combat she is. She takes extremely good care of herself, maintaining soft hands and mystifying everyone who knows her in the process. Clothing: Vessa's default outfits are all white, with her normal dress being a fur-lined cloak over a backless, strapless number with a plunging neckline to her navel. She isn't afraid to be sexy or perceived as such despite her relatively sexually reserved nature. She wears a lacy white collar, a quiet rebellion against the enslavement and commodification of Vahari in other countries.

Personality:

First and foremost, Vesna is a queen of warmth and acceptance. She is well-trained in all manners related to politics, etiquette, and combat, but prefers a more casual demeanor with people she trusts or builds rapport with. Her default setting is slightly regal with humanitarian undertones. However, she draws a hard line at overly casual behavior from newcomers, and disrespect. She can sometimes be impressed by someone's audacity or strength of character.

She does not stick to strict propriety in her language, though her personality is a gradient; in private moments, with trusted people, she prefers to be referred to by her name, but respect is still expected and appreciated, and if her subordinates are nearby, she can be more demanding of formality; this is largely a show. She genuinely feels bad for exercising authority and giving definitive orders for others to carry out, but sees the necessity in it and will often reward her people well.

She was an only child and spent her entire upbringing torn between her incredibly hard work and her hobbies. She still maintains several hobbies such as gardening, not afraid to get up to her elbows in mud.

Backstory:

Vesna was born into the house of Solaine; from a young age, she was groomed by her strict father and warm, tender mother to take the throne. Her father instilled in her a sense of responsibility for her people, ensured she received the best of the best when it came to education in political and martial matters. This led to her becoming one of the better warriors in the kingdom. She still trains regularly to this day.

Her mother, however, was her basis for humanity. The warmth, playfulness, humor, casual speak and easy, humble communication come from her. Her refusal to be treated with blatant disrespect, however, also comes from her; her mother was also beautiful, being almost the spitting image of her daughter, and was met with disrespect and skepticism in her position because of her appearance. Her mother taught her to lean into what she has, to be proud of it, and to meet minor shows of disrespect with firm refusal, and to exercise her power when the trespass was too great.

When she was nineteen years old, she was poised to ascend the throne, deciding to follow the example of Meryset and Dumbria and eschew a matriarch altogether. She is the sole ruler of her country.

When she became an adult at fourteen years old, she was immediately met with suitors, every one of which was looking to make her a mantelpiece; she began rejecting them outright, often with transparent, fantastical lies and a tongue-in-cheek charm that she carries today.

Before she ascended the throne, however, she took a one-year sabbatical to test herself practically. She left her finery at home, opting for a tunic and trousers, and traveled south to Dumbria to sign up at the adventurer's guild where she wouldn't be known or recognized. She used the name "Weiss". She moved from city to city, finding the lifestyle quite enjoyable and meeting new people along the way. This helped instill a real sense of human connection into her, working for some of the poorest, most desperate people in the country. This also tied her closely with Lysandra's family. She'd later become something of a mentor to Lysandra when she became queen.

When she returned with short hair and a new outlook, her courtiers were pissed - but she didn't give them a second thought, and became a benevolent, much-loved ruler because of it.

Kink:

Vesna, as a woman in power, has rarely been contested; her kingdom is largely seclusive and shut off from the outside world by both extreme weather and political distance. Her preference for casual, humane interactions is well-known but still hard for most people to obey when speaking to their queen.

Her sexual experience is scant, never having taken on a partner. She had a couple of one-offs in her time in Dumbria, leaving her somewhat uneducated about what deeper, more satisfying sexual relationships could be. In her position as queen now, it's difficult for her to find someone who will treat her as an equal, and is not aroused by ass-kissing or tiptoeing around the point.

Due to this, vulgarity and flippancy toward her position and power can be a turn-on in some circumstances. If she is demeaned or disrespected outright in a mean-spirited manner, she won't tolerate it. However, with someone she finds intriguing or attractive mentally and physically, she yearns to have her power stripped, to be made to feel less-than. Her collar doubles as an object of her kink; she resents the unwilling slave trade, while simultaneously wishing to voluntarily give herself to someone privately.
