Misc. arrangement of body HCs pt.1:

―Sunday edition: ― ― 001. Helena is of a carefully structured musculature. Regardless of this, she is not entirely solid in every sense, abs aren't flexed forever you know. There is some fleshy softness that sits at her hips and lower stomach that settles over her lower lower abs, creating a softer appearance especially when she is at rest. That lower belly is pinchable. ―002. She has a full bush, kept tidy. ―003. Some about her scars: there is an arrangement of scars toward her center, a deep, old and long-since healed laceration and one that curves from her center going back towards her hip. Another rests just beneath the weight of her left breast. on her face, another scar that splits along her chin, through her lips and curves to her cheek is quite distinguishing, but shallow by comparison. When she'd first received it, it interfered with her ability to talk. Her lips are of a defined, lush shape, of a muted hue with a soft, pillowy bottom lip and a thinner upper lip; despite the large scar that splits from chin-to lips-to cheek. ―004. Her nipples are a shell-pink hue, and are incredibly sensitive. Her breasts are sit in partially side-set position, and settle into a tear-drop formation with a soft bottom heavy-fullness. ―005. Her clit is plump, not large, but still plump with even folds and tucks well enough. Quite easy to stimulate at peak arousal and she gets wet easily. ―006. Her legs and arms are quite long and built. That is where much of her height comes from when paired with the length of her torso. Her legs are a show piece practically in thier athletics structure and sheer strength, power houses for sure. With full, and lengthy, powerful thighs and defined calves-- having often traveled by foot, and being frequently on her feet in general it comes as no surprise that the musculature became that much more prominent overall as a result. What with her history, constant traveling by foot or by horse on the battlefield/beyond and service, it only make sense. She could snatch someone between them or pin them down with next to no issue. Some may even think her somewhat spindly at first glance. There is alot about Helena that is 'long and strong' it often creates a near-deceptive appearance where one may not think she's as physically strong as she actually is. ―007. Her shoulders are somewhat broad, and wide-set enough to slightly off-set her hips, but not by much. Presents a strong silhouette. ―008. Hips: Somewhat wide-set in structure, pronounced and decently rounded. A scar sits upon the left, narrowly missing some of the markings that curve to the shape. ―009. Her back is tightly coiled muscle, lean, heavily toned. A few scars mark across her shoulders and shoulder blades. It is of a strong form and structure after years of serving. Although, she did lose some of that during the duration of her imprisonment prior to her death.

Over the duration of her extensive early journeying, and in her eventual pursuit to seek answers concerning the “time before the erdtree,” and the nature of death in the Lands Between and the crucible-- she came to harbor further knowledge on the origin of Ghost Flame. From the weapons it was bound to, to the various spells in which it could be used… More importantly, she learned more about how to fuel an activated flame even without spell work. Once she came into possession of her first Ghost Flame artifact, it simply went from there– she wasn’t afraid to experiment in a variety of ways in which to utilize when she otherwise had yet to master the spells associated with it. Methodical to her core, no stone was left unturned if she could help it. She set about testing and reworking a multitude of mixtures that could help it ‘catch/ignite’ and carry in the air. Through consistent trial and error, she eventually crafted a way to effectively spread it based upon recipes she already knew, and carefully built upon the formula from there. Anything to amplify overall effectiveness, and with her knowledge on crafting she took to burning/reducing bones. As such, it only seemed appropriate that she find the means to maintain it; she concocted her own type of bone char and made use of other contributive botanicals to further refine it… Many of her methods were based upon what she kept/was taught from her time as a healer and her experiences with its use when she still resided with her coven and her mother… Before she came to utilize it by spell work, she has created  her own Ghost Flame lantern and "fire powder" for use when accessibility may not be a simple process or her magic expended for any reason.

—A loving exploration of various themes, ramblings and ideas: the sacred and the profane; the weight of grief; death as rebirth; hubris and its cost; bringing back that which should never be returned; to be as a deified anathema; to exist as an unmeant God in a land that is not your own; the monstrous feminine; madness twisted into lucidity; knighthood and the loss of honor; death as the maiden and the witch; cutting the threads of fate and challenging the forces that be; the arrival of the inevitable; and what it means to be as confessional and burial ground-- an open grave that speaks. Lastly… To be beloved by something you cannot see, cannot touch, and can never truly know. —𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 & 𝐃𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫—

unprompted asks || always accepting;

Anon inquired: on a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

“Ah, dear Tarnished, what a question...! Do I look the role of a lamb? What could this possibly mean... you've caught my interest.” As always she stands, observing the other-- reading them carefully. The silver sheen beneath her hooded gaze -a pearly glint through lengthy lashes- affixed upon them. She was wholly expectant, but still she continues on regardless. Out of sight, there is a careful turn of her wrist and with that action she cast the fist full of stray knuckle bones she'd been holding  within her grasp the entire time. Scattering them to the ground.

“Am I to be as a virgin bride upon the nuptial bed? Or... am I little more than oblation, a sacrifice? Is there a difference?” The inquiry hangs in the air for a mere instant. “Oh, I tease... I do.” Such smoldering words slither through lush lips as they curled into the formation of a smile, that phantom shape of something more jovial that graced the horizon of her eyes, betraying her tone entirely.

The ghost of a laugh chased closely after her words, punctuating the fleeting quiet with a light and airy sound; ripe with the inklings of budding amusement.

“...What then does the wolf offer me in return beyond teeth and tongue? I have learned not to mistake vaguery for more than meager possibilities-- words harbor power after all, like incantation, curse... or knowing a true name. If the wolf desires my bare, quivering, throat... then I humbly demand their tender underbelly on that hot summer night. Pound per pound of offered flesh."

#Confession || answer tag; #This was a good one so I decided to move it over from my old blog to this one too #Helena vc: Flesh is earned; dear wolf... I am certain you expect nothing less... #So in this... I offer a trade.. #A SAVAGE AND TENDER FEAST-- Blood for blood #still dunno who sent it but I appreciated it #Girl what the hell are you going on about girl plz

Abit of a rambling, really... You know, I've always really liked the thought of her having picked up a lot about herbs and florals endemic to the landsbetween under the guidance of an old perfumer and one who would move on to teach her how to use them/make concoctions in turn but also be that person who was the spear head of teaching her healing methods. One such perfumer that likely would have worked for -or- provided service with (or to) her family in the landsbetween and the one who readily accepted her in spite of what she is. Combined with the knowledge and skill that she arrived with when she from when she had still been learning alongside her attendants beneath her mother's wing-- it's probably what later lead her to having such a firm grip in chemistry, chemical concoctions, and seeing how far she could take them among other things. Immediately snapping up whatever knowledge they could impart on her she would certainly have been an avid student. Eager and swiftly learning because of how familiar it was especially with prior experience. It would have been comfortable, familiar, and maybe she would feel like less of a hole in the world, or incorrect because they helped her find her place as a healer. More importantly: this would later led to her knowledge on aromatics and her own unique concoction of bone dust/char and how that was applied to Ghostflame before she was able to fully utilize it on her own... and, of course corpse wax. From how to use and craft, and even early knowledge on how to potentially manufacture some of the dubious (un)dead warrior corpse monstrosities we see guarding Lyndell. This of course, would later lend itself itself into some of her acts of necromancy and potion/medicine craft... And, as such, where it begins to strain and challenge her own beliefs. Aka: How Helena becomes double the heretic maybe.

#Vestige || headcanon; concepts; muse lore; #The perfumer is something of a vague shape that has been in my head since conception of this verse #They were only ever mentioned in passing like once or twice and then never again #Because though I had foundational ideas for them; I wasn't sure just what to do nor what they would come to mean to her #One of the few comforts she came to know when she was still learning the ways there #As for the perfumer well... in short; they were basically family... they were... #They were also the one to give her a glimpse into some of the more dubious sides of what it means to be a perfumer.. or healer #Yes; teach the soul snatching harbinger of death; breaker of curses and ghost talker... do it that aside #Also Helena already knew how to process/care for a body even how to use parts albeit most of it came with her self-taught craft #However; the idea of a perfumer also having taught her about some of that later? The jump off point? #Meeting her deranged perfumer mentor in the field of battle or later in her witch knight era... a slaying of paternal figures maybe #Or perhaps they're out there somewhere still; out of thier mind and she has no idea how to find them #Having further taught her how to love the land? Some of her skills? Helped her find a place there? #Their name: Been sitting on a few but Cyrillus or Severinus is where I at; if either was ever thier real name well-- that is secret ;y #Some parts about them are still a mystery even to her but-- safe to say she would have been among the few #to know them in any genuine way and likewise when it came to knowing her #anyway-- rant over
