Sophia Liana Moldoveanu
Aged Fifty-One | Human | Witch & Enchantress
☩ Appearance ☩Sophia stands at 5’7” tall and weighs in at roughly a hundred and forty pounds. Her posture and build is robust and voluptuous, accentuating tantalizing flow. She has dark hair and brown eyes. Her spruce is heavy on the eyebrows and shadows with colors that complement her hair and natural pigmentation. Sophia usually wears knee-high leather boots and generally flowy, dark garments. She also has a massive collection of pendants, necklaces, and trinkets that she wears randomly. Her voice often carries a deep, slow, and sensual tone.
☩ Personality ☩This elegant madam is a league of her own. Her presence carries an air of mystery and awe that can inspire or demoralize. She embodies a deeply rooted confidence that can sometimes translate to capriciousness and bedlam, which accompanied by fearlessness, sublime perception, aptitude, cunning, and sophistication makes her a cerebral individual worthy of worship by lesser minds.
However, the aforementioned lofty attributes makes Sophia blindly egocentric and disorganized to the point of being completely unaware of her pride. Her stubborn and dominant nature always assumes her will to be the will of others as well, and she always attempts to win every single argument or debate. Resistance might plunge Sophia into the depths of intense self-critical, introspective, and brooding behavior. Therein she can dwell on pains or perceived injustices brought upon her by external agents, while plotting a gruesome revenge.
Sophia values her own passions as above those others’. When the contrary surfaces, she can conduct extensive philosophical musings concerning the circumstances that brought upon that state, accompanied by a cynical, world-weary, jaded view on things. Insodoing, her arrogance can sometimes transform into a Marty-like attitude, which is highly unpleasant. Either way, Sophia’s confidence, awe-striking presence, and charisma is enough to make lesser men fall on their knees before her.
Sophia shows affection for those close to her through action in contrast to words. She might spontaneously braid their hair, offer physical intimacy, or display a faint smirk when the special someone presents themselves. However, Sophia can also extend her graces in a sultry fashion to complete strangers, but exclusively under pretense. Whoever is blessed with the warmth of Sophia’s body will meet a swift end thereafter unless they have caught her heart beforehand. Being a part of her inner circle of trust is an extremely rare phenomenon.
☩ Biography ☩Sophia hails from the depths of southeastern-central European forests and mountains. Her mother was a lowly villager, a housekeeper of no significance until the day that the local cult robbed her away from the estate in which she served. The leader of said following had taken notice of her and decided for them to be married. The husband, an extremely charismatic man, was a prophet who had foretold the reincarnation of some esoteric being in his first born, whom were to be a boy. When Sophia appeared, the prophecy fell to fallacy and the whole family barely escaped the cult with their lives intact.
In the wilderness of the dark lands, Sophia’s father attempted to sacrifice his newborn daughter in an attempt to prove his loyalty and regain his power. However, the mother had already taken note of his madness and slipped away with her child into the frosty shadows of the forests. The harsh conditions of nature almost claimed the mother and daughter, but they reached the edge before all was lost. They managed to board a ship that destined them for a new world, a new life far away from the bitter and accursed Romania.
However, the endeavors of the mother and daughter in a foreign land were unforgiving and one of them eventually lost their life. Sophia was stranded, deserted at a young age and time of her occult blooming. What she soon discovered, however, was how deeply her mother had underestimated the name of Moldoveanu and the cult her husband had set the foundations for. He was not just a random madman. He was a mastermind of manipulation and naturally gifted in black arts. The cult had followed Sophia and her mother to the new world.
The remaining followers wished no harm upon the young girl. In fact, they hailed her as their new leader, seeing the same dark talents in her as the saw in her father years ago. However, Sophia wanted nothing to do with them. The first thing she decreed as the ‘dark mistress’ was that neither she nor the God they worshiped favored child sacrifice. It was to be forbidden along with seeking Sophia’s presence without an urgent and proper cause. Ever since then, the cult members have observed and protected Sophia from the shadows, only ever emerging at her call.
It was not until Sophia caught wind of some disturbing rumors and reached the city of sin that she began to embrace the usefulness of a group of brainwashed goons at her disposal. The Dark Mistress has appointed them one task, and one task only—to find clues and solve the rumor that to Sophia is utmost disturbing. They are not to interfere with the existing activities in the city, nor its influential inhabitants. However, due to Sophia’s somewhat neutral stance and exceptional talents, her inquisition is often interrupted by more than shady figures and their wants and needs.
☩ Other ☩Sophia generally keeps to herself in a formerly abandoned house, in the middle of dank swamp, at the outskirts of the city. She is utmost uninterested in the dealings of criminal masterminds and dangerous gangs, but her talents drags her into their shady businesses more than she would like to. Whether it concerns charms and enchantments, drugs and potions, or dangerous black arts, her services does not come cheap. The goons of her cult live in and around the city, but never interfere in the daily lives of its citizens, as per her order. When and if Sophia needs them, she will call upon them.
