Victoria Risewell Character in Cairne | World Anvil

Victoria Risewell

Lady Victoria Risewell

Victoria Risewell, the seventh member of the coven, emerged from the fledgling Republic of Tae, a radiant and charismatic woman whose presence could effortlessly captivate an entire gathering. Born amidst the turmoil of the War of Human Attrition, Victoria was taken as the people of Tae began to break ground in their new home, the Greenlands Commonage.    Despite the trauma of her displacement, Victoria possesses an innate warmth and simplicity that endears her to those around her. With a wise yet humble outlook on life, she navigates the complexities of existence with grace and ease, her gentle demeanor masking a chilling darkness that lurks beneath the surface. Though possibly the least vicious member of the coven, Victoria's ability to gain the trust and adoration of mortals makes her one of the most dangerous. With her unassuming presentation and friendly disposition, she is able to move through society unnoticed, her true nature concealed behind a facade of warmth and kindness.   Utilizing her talents to their fullest extent, Aisling often tasks Victoria with recruiting new artists for the Pact of Blood, a task she carries out with ease, her magnetic charm and persuasive words convincing even the most hesitant souls to join their ranks, and when the needs of the coven demand it, Victoria is not above luring unsuspecting mortals to their deaths, her honeyed words masking the grim reality of their fate until it was far too late.

Personal history

Victoria Risewell's history is one of tragedy and manipulation, born from the ashes of war and upheaval that swept across the land. The daughter of a priest who perished in the brutal conflict of the War of Human Attrition, Victoria found herself among the many refugees who sought sanctuary with the Ongommu Tae in the Greenlands Commonage, a new beginning in a world scarred by violence and strife. Despite the hardships she faced, Victoria remained a beacon of joy and hope amidst the chaos, her radiant spirit uplifting those around her as she dedicated herself to the arduous task of resettling and rebuilding their shattered lives. Though many sought her hand in marriage, Victoria remained steadfast in her commitment to the new Republic, pouring her heart and soul into the work of healing and reconstruction.   Renowned among the early settlers for her compassion and tireless dedication, Victoria earned a reputation as a caretaker of the ill and injured, her selflessness and bravery inspiring those around her to persevere in the face of adversity. From tending to the sick to toiling alongside her fellow settlers in the fields, Victoria was a pillar of strength and resilience, her unwavering determination a testament to the indomitable human spirit, but it was her beauty and spirit that drew the attention of Lady Aisling Riamh, the dark mistress who saw in Victoria a vessel for her own insatiable desires. Seizing the opportunity to expand her influence into the new empires and cultures taking root in the wastelands, Aisling abducted Victoria, claiming her as one of her own.    Resistant at first to her new form and the dark powers bestowed upon her, Victoria soon found herself succumbing to the influence of her hunger and the manipulations of Aisling and her coven. With each passing day, her humanity slipped away, replaced by a cold and ruthless determination to serve her mistress's will. Stripped of her emotions and empathy, Victoria emerged from her transformation as an apex predator among the social gatherings of the world, a dedicated huntress who prowled the shadows, her once radiant spirit now twisted and corrupted by the darkness that consumed her. And as she moved through the world, ensnaring the hearts and minds of those around her with her beguiling charm, she knew that she was fulfilling her role within the coven...a role that would see her wield her newfound power with ruthless efficiency for eternity.
