Seline | The Cursed Herbalist

Name: Seline, The Herbalist, The cursed girl

Seline is a 30 year old girl. She has a pale blonde hair that reaches her back, it's messy and weak. Her eyes are dark grey, her sclera is slightly darkened and are devoid of life. Her face small scars around it. Her body is pale, weak and slightly skinny because of her illness, she has scars all around her body and some parts of her body has dark spots.

Seline wears a dark cloak that covers all of her body, with other layers of clothes below it. She also uses a ribbed waistband to hold her clothes and long sleeves, covering her arms. She uses bandages that covers her forehead and eyes, only leaving a hole on the left side for her good eye. Underneath all her clothes she covers multiple wounds, black areas and scars with improvised and dirty bandages.

Seline is a gloomy person, she is a depressed and distrustful person. For many years, only misfortunes have happened to her, and this has made her attitude pessimistic. She dislikes physical contact and is terrified of being in crowded places, which can lead to panic attacks. Unfortunately for Seline, she stands out a lot in the crowd due to her sickly and "terrifying" appearance, which leads her to be rejected everywhere and by everyone. Because of this, she believes that if someone talks to her, it is with bad intentions. Seline's voice is soft and weak, due to her breathing problems caused by the disease, she cannot talk for long periods of time without becoming overly agitated or coughing up blood.

Seline wasn't the pessimistic and miserable person she is today. She used to work as an herbalist, helping people with injuries and illnesses. She has a vast knowledge of herbs and medicines. But unfortunately, she contracted an unknown illness, causing her to become the depressed person she is today. Despite this, she still has hope of being cured of the disease and ending her suffering. She has managed to mitigate the effects of her illness with medicinal herbs on multiple occasions, so she believes there may be a cure.

Seline enjoys tranquility and nature, feeling connected to it, and also enjoys solitude. One of her greatest passions is reading and helping others with ailments or illnesses, but due to her condition, she is unable to do the latter. Despite people's rejection, she loves and hates no one, and understands that her illness and appearance can frighten people. Because of her loneliness, Seline wants to talk to someone, but since she can't, she usually talks to herself.

The disease has no specific origin, but it is known to be transmitted by rats or cockroaches. This disease causes great weakness in the body and gradually destroys it from within, causing pallor, organ failure, rotting in certain parts of the body, and sensitive and fragile skin that can be easily injured. Seline has suffered greatly from this disease, losing her right eye, a lung, and intestinal damage, not to mention the multiple wounds on her skin. In fact, she constantly bleeds a little from her mouth due to the sensitivity of her lips.

Those infected with the disease are forced into self-exile due to social pressure, as it is believed that those who suffer from the disease are considered cursed and bring misfortune to other people. And Seline wasn't the exception.

The world is set in a fantasy Middle Ages, with magic, spells, races, etc.
