[Lady Sabine]

Ravenna Silvertongue

24 | Witch | Innkeeper
​

The firstborn child of Roxiah and an unknown father, Ravenna has lived at the inn her entire life, learning the trade from her mother. Years of drawing water, kneading bread, and washing laundry by hand have left her very strong for a woman her age, while she has learned quite a bit about the world and the people in it from the guests passing through.


Tall and willowy, Ravenna has alabaster pale skin with dark brown hair, a severe combination that she bears with a quiet, somber disposition. Her eyes are very pale, misty grey; the witch-eyes that are well known throughout Argenthyne for marking an heir of the Enchantress. In her the magic is not particularly strong nor weak, and while she has practiced it will be years before her enchantments prove powerful. Her innate ability is that of prophetic dreaming, though this is of very limited use and, more often than not, her only accurate prediction is the weather.


There's a melancholy to Ravenna, a loneliness and solitary nature that tends to get passed down the line of innkeepers, few of whom have ever married or even taken a lover for longer than a winter. While she is kind and cares deeply about her guests and sister, she rarely chooses to share her thoughts or feelings.


At the moment she wears a long white gown and hooded cloak from her mother's funeral; white being the traditional color for funerals, according to the Old Ways. Her hair has been left down, a rare occurrence, and falls almost to her hips. No shoes, jewelry, or cosmetics save for a circlet of willow shoots atop her head. She knows it is an outfit not likely to go over well with the church or anyone who follows its doctrines, but she's willing to take the risk to honor her mother.

Minerva Silvertongue


19 | Witch | Inkeeper





Minerva is a fallen leaf. She is equal parts beautiful, equal parts fragile. She can fly away anywhere she wants, as long as there is wind to blow her. She is unsafe in her position, because she can be taken or broken at any time. Minerva is kind at heart. She wants to do her best for everyone. She never has a bad intention and she just wants to bring justice to her Mother and her legacy. She is afraid of a lot of things, because she knows that she isn't great at controlling her magic. She is clumsy, also, and breaks things frequently, sometimes because of her lack of control.





Minerva really admires her older sister, Ravenna, and wishes that she could just be like her. She always seems so collected, like nothing bothers her, whereas Minerva is bothered by many things. She worries a lot, about people persecuting her. She worries about pain, weather, evil, death and a collection of other things. Minerva is distracted, and she likes to tell herself that that is why she cannot do anything useful with her magic.





Minerva is tall and thin, like her sister. Another shared sibling feature is her grey eyes. They are bright, but cold looking and timid. Her skin is pale, like her Mother's and sisters, but her hair is much fairer than Ravenna's. It is a mousy brown that comes all the way down to the bottom of her back. She likes to wear it down, and often twist flowers into it. Her style is usually pale coloured gowns, pastel pinks and greens and blues. She likes to keep herself looking nice. Her shoes are usually slightly heeled, and all of the few pairs she owns are white, except from her one pair of thick, leather boots for long journeys. Minerva also wears white lace fingerless gloves, that have long, tied ribbons. She often uses raspberry juice to keep her cheeks and lips rosy.





As Minerva was growing up, she always felt caught in her sister's shadow. Her Mother often treated her as a delicate young thing, and Minerva herself has come to believe it. She always wanted to be big and strong like her sister, but she was always frail, her skin always bruised and cut. She was never good when it came to inkeeping. She was terrible at the kitchen chores and always spilled drinks or smashed bowls. She was bad at inviting guests in, as she always fumbled over her words. She found that gardening was her strong point, and it is where she spends a lot of her time.

Daven Baird

39/Human/Minstrel

Daven is usually seen in cool shades of pastel from head to toe, in parachute pants and tunics, and has yet to be seen wearing the same hat twice. When not in pastels he wears simple brown pants and white shirts, though he still wears hats of various colors and styles. He has dark, wavy raven hair that curls down his back, coming to a rest halfway down, which is his preferred way to wear it. He brushes it meticulously, leading to it nearly always being well kept. His eyes are the color of espresso, and almond shaped, with light skin, though not quite as light as the Silvertongues.


Overall, Daven is a very easygoing, tending to just go with the flow- if that means getting up and performing a rhapsody to music, that's what he'll do; if it's more appropriate to sit and be solemn, that's what he's gonna do. He has a gift with children, easily able to entertain them with a variety of games and skills, such as juggling and puppet performances.


Currently he wears a more simple outfit, with probably his only pair of black pants ever and a cloak that goes with it, a small bouquet of white and purple hyacinth tucked inside.
