Name: Kathrina
Title/Alias: Amata (coven alias), Kati (Veronica’s nickname for her. She hates it with a passion, but Veronica insists on calling her that)

Appearance: 5’ 7”, Dark auburn hair, emerald eyes, usually has some sort of dark makeup on her face, loves black fingernail polish

(Screenshots from Heroforge website)

Outfits: Black dresses. She rarely wears anything else, but when she does, it’s always black. Wears a feather earring in right ear, Veronica has the matching left earring. Often wears a skull necklace and several rings, one on each finger.

General Personality: Unsociable, vicious, prone to staying up at night brewing potions and befriending the dead. She is only friendly toward Veronica, her fellow witches, and her undead friends. She gets in a lot of trouble with Veronica. She dislikes the living.

Background: After leaving, Kathrina and Veronica followed their elder sister around for a while. They soon decided to go their own way until (elder sister) called upon them. They settled in a cottage near a small village, where they would not easily be found, and have lived there since, occasionally causing trouble in the village or nearby cities. During their ‘downtime’, Kathrina and Veronica joined a secret coven of witches based deep in the woods near their cottage.

Strengths: Alchemy (particularly poisons), Darkness, her twin sister Veronica

Weapons: Has long fingernails shaped like claws, usually paints them black. Knows archery, and some swordfighting. Prefers to use magic or potions.

Companions: Has a ghoul called Zakrith that she calls friend.

Quotes: “Oh, Zakrith, my dear, I have a treat for you!” “Shut it, Veronica, I was always a better cook than you!”

Theme song: Wake the Dead- Alice Cooper

Other: Older fraternal twin to Veronica. Lives in a cottage close to an ancient graveyard in the woods. She’s an excellent cook, though her ingredients might sometimes be questionable, depending on the occasion.

Outfits: Likes to wear low-cut dresses with high-cut skirts. Wears a feather earring in left ear, Kathrina has the matching right earring. Loves jewelry.

General Personality: Troublemaker, flirt, femme fatale, devious spy, has a cruel streak. She adores cats, especially Victor, her familiar. She is mildly disgusted by Kathrina’s love for undead, believing it is disrespectful and counterproductive. She loves desserts, particularly chocolate and cake. Not fond of dogs. Prefers subtlety over blunt action.

Background: Has followed Kathrina since they left the castle. This has done some good, because it has tempered her former impulsiveness. Along their journey, she has flirted with every man that would dare speak with her, regardless of whether anything happened afterward or not.

Strengths: Her sister Kathrina, her cat Victor, Darkness

Weaknesses: Light, can be a bit impulsive at times, somewhat dependent on Kathrina

Powers and abilities: Enchanting items, hypnotism, magical seduction (via spell or potion), divination, can use cats as spies, a few of her body sigils allows some minor control of weather (cause a breif storm, make clouds cover the sun, or call a bolt of lightning, for example)

Weapons: Prefers small things like daggers and slings, otherwise she uses spells, runes, and scrolls. Keep a large needle with her, a little torture device she uses to express any pent up anger.

Companions: Has a fat tabby tomcat named Victor

Quotes: “Kati, why are you always talking to the dead folk when I’m here all day?” “Come on, Victor, let’s go start some trouble.”

Theme song: Witching Hour- In This Moment

Other: Younger fraternal twin to Kathrina. Turquoise is her favorite color. Lives with Kathrina (they used to constantly bicker over who was head of the house, but they eventually agreed that Victor should hold the title. Victor is quite proud of this).

(I'm going to post my thing in the morning, but I'm totally imaging my girl, who I'm naming Zelda, to have a shadow minion who she 100% made. If they do end up existing, I will play them. Also, would that count as a companion if they're pretty much like a human? I would do a character sheet for them too, since they are a being of their own.)

(Yeah, that totally works!)

Ahhhh Serpentess, I love them!!!

Name: Zelda (the name means dark battle and is German, I believe. Yes, it exists out of the video game world.)
Title/Alias: Mistress of Evil
Appearance (I'm separating into sun-parts shape and colour): Shape- Zelda is tall and has an hourglass shape. Her face is very angular, with very few curves. She has upturned eyes with long eyelashes, which have little orbs at the end of them. She has an upturned nose, full lips and almost fang-like teeth. She has long skinny fingers with claw-like nails. She has straight hair that is shoulder-length on the left side and chin-length on the right side, the rest of the hair is a 30-degree angle transition between them. She has straight bangs that sit at a 30-degree angle.
Colour- Zelda, much like her sisters, is fairly tan. She has green (#01ff01) eyes, which are almost completely green because of the dark magic, with swirly black pupils. She wears smokey eyeshadow and her lips are painted dark maroon. She has her claw-like nails painted glittery black. Her hair is an ombre between orange and purple, orange being on the top (and being her natural hair colour) and purple being dyed on the tips of her hair and bangs.
Outfits: Main outfit- Black turtleneck romper with long harem style pant legs and no sleeves. Black boot high heels, with buckles on the sides. Dark purple cape with white fluff on the collar & shoulders and at the end of the cape; the cape ends at knee length.
General taste in outfits- Dark colours, dramatic but versatile.

Strengths: Darkness, Her Illegitimate Shadow Child, Dark Fire
Weaknesses: Light, Holy Water

Dragon form inspo), Ability to Create Life Out of Concepts of Darkness (create something new out of a corpse, shadows, etc.), Siren-Esque Hypnotization & Ability to Summon Wings
Weapons: Claw-like nails, magic & this
Companions: Her Illegitimate Shadow Child, Reese
Quotes: Says a lot- "Come here." "Child." "Thrilling."
Represents- "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke
Theme song: Black Sea by Natasha Blume
Other:

• Lesbian (It may seem bad on my part to make the main villain a lesbian, but I kinda felt like it. Also, I originally planned that when her shadow minion was not going to be a child, so there wouldn't be any shipping.)
• May be a villain, but isn't a Karen, Anti-Vaxxer or Flat-Earther
• She might not be the best parent, but she isn't the worst

(I get the chance in this to pour out my inner Queen Scarlet. Also, if it's ok, I'm also going to add a character sheet for her child.)

Outfits: Doesn't usually wear clothes. But, when they do, they wear a white hoodie with jean shorts.
General Personality: Naive & Timid. Generous & Honest. Despite being a shadow being raised by an evil mother, they're weirdly not all that evil.

It was nearly dawn. The sky was dark still, but not a dark to fear. This was a dark that promised light, and those were the least terrifying kinds of darkness. The clouds painted themselves in a series of purples, golds, and orange hues and scattered across the sky. Then the morning sun rose, peeking out from beyond the horizon line and pouring its radiance over all that was good in Sunshire. The elegant spiral towers of the castle especially gleamed in the early glow. Strands of gold twisted intricately together to form a joined image of power and grace.

Inside the castle, a pure quietness hung in the halls since the castle's residents, mainly the servants and maids, had not yet risen from their beds. They all remained succumbed to their sleep and their peaceful dreams. All of them… but one.

Gentle footsteps came from the direction of the queen's private chambers. With skirts flying, the High Queen Consort of Sunshire raced through the empty main hall, eager to catch a glimpse of raw morning haze. She knew her destination: the balcony that overlooked the castle's gardens. Where the sun would poke through the trees at just the right angle at just the right time that she could catch it and let it heal her. Finally, she found the doors she was looking for. Taking the smooth golden handles in her palms, she flung the doors open wide and stepped onto the gorgeous balcony.

Sights like these were rare. The pure morning sun was just beginning to rise, and with its arrival, the sky began to blush. Adelia sighed quietly and lifted her fingers up into the light. She had to stretch a bit (she had been running late), but the moment the light brushed her hand, a sense of peace washed over her.

"Let the light lift you," her mother always told her.

Adelia closed her eyes. "Lift me," she murmured and felt instant reprieve. A sweet breeze filled her lungs, and after a few moments, she exhaled softly. Her eyes fluttered open, and a smile was born on her lips. Another blessed day.

Far from the castle, in a cottage at the edge of a secluded village, Victor kneaded Veronica’s blankets. He softly purred, waiting for Veronica to awaken. When her eyes finally began to open, Victor chirped and hopped down from the bed.

Veronica sat up and looked toward Victor. He had gone to a window, and sat behind the curtain, chirping at something outside. Curious, she walked over to the window and pulled up the curtain.

The brilliant sunrise beamed upon the meadow outside. Its gentle rays blinded Veronica for a moment, but she recovered quickly. She smiled and rushed out of her room to find her sister.

Veronica barged into Kathrina’s pitch black room, the morning light breaking through the darkness like fire, and shook her sister’s shoulder. An angry groan answered and Kathrina flipped her blanket over her head.

“Kati, you must see! It’s as I predicted! The sunrise has come!”

“For the hundredth time, Veronica, it’s just a stupid sunrise! Leave me alone!”Kathrina said.

“No, Kati! It’s time!”Veronica insisted, pulling Kathrina off the bed.

Kathrina growled and glared at Veronica, but stood up and followed her. She stumbled a few times, walking much like some of her undead friends. Her mood soured even more as Veronica opened the curtain.

“Shut that thing, will you?”Kathrina snapped at Veronica.

Victor turned and meowed sweetly, his gold eyes looking back and forth between the two sisters. Kathrina sighed and ruffled the fur on the tomcat’s head.

“Hi, Victor,”Kathrina mumbled.

“He’s the one that discovered this! Isn’t this wonderful? It’s time! It’s time! It’s time!”Veronica said, jumping around excitedly.

“Shut up and sit down, Veronica. I suppose I’ll make breakfast,”Kathrina ordered.

“I could make breakfast,”Veronica offered.

“The last time you did that, you nearly set the house on fire. Never again.”

Kathrina disappeared into the kitchen and a wonderful smell soon drifted from it.

(This was a bit longer than I expected)

Meanwhile, in your average condo…

Zelda was already plenty awake, as she had woken up just a few hours ago. She paced around her living room, waiting for the kettle to finish heating up.

Soon enough, the kettle screeched and she poured the boiling water into a mug with a teabag full of Oolong tea.

"This is going to be a day," she said, sighing, "I can already tell that little goody two shoes is happy!"

She drank her tea, staring into the hallway occasionally. When she finished, she went into one of the rooms in the hallway.

"You know," she said with a bit of a sassy tone, "for a shadow, you sure do sleep a lot."

Reese, the subject of Zelda's speech, let out an audible groan.

(Zelda 100% has a British accent, BTW.)

About an hour later, Adelia was dressed in much more queenly attire than her pale green nightgown and strolling through the castle's halls. Her faithful head maid Jovie kept near to her queen's side.

"Anything I can do for you Your Majesty?" Jovie asked as they approached the queen's study. It was on the other side of the castle as it was originally designed to be the king's study, and the queen's was much smaller and closer to her resting chambers. However, both Adelia and Jovie agreed that since Sunshire currently had no king, the queen would benefit from the larger study.

"No, Jovie," Adelia assured her. "I'll be alright."

"Alright, Your Majesty. But if you need anything-"

"Just let you know," the queen teased. "I know."

Jovie looked surprised, but she laughed a little. "I'll be going then, Your Majesty."

Adelia smiled kindly. "And I know you have many responsibilities, Jovie. Go on."

The shy maid nodded and made her way back from where they'd came.

Victor watched as Veronica hurriedly scribbled runes onto a scroll. She mumbled a spell to imbue the runes with magic, a large smile on her face.

“Victor, go bring me something. Um… a rose petal, dry, even if you must steal it,”Veronica abruptly said.

Victor hopped down from his perch and trotted out of the room, heading straight from Kathrina. He squeezed into the dark room, his fluffy tail swishing at the sound of Kathrina’s own spellcasting, and jumped up to a shelf with dried herbs. He snatched a dried rose petal from the neat pile and hopped down.

“Victor! How many times have I told you? There’s herbs in the kitchen!”Kathrina shrieked, looking up from her bubbling cauldron.

Victor raced from the room and back to Veronica. He meowed and Veronica scratched him on the head, snickering.

“Little rascal,”Veronica said, taking the petal and crushing it, sprinkling it on the scroll to complete the imbuing spell.

Reese rolled over to look at Zelda.

"I may not need to sleep," they said, "but I like to."

Zelda let out a bit of a sigh but decided not to say anything.

"It's morning," she said a little brashly, "It's time to get up. Do you want me to get you tea?"

Reese sat up on the bed. "Do we have any peppermint tea?"

Zelda nodded and headed to the living room to pour them a cup. Reese followed shortly behind.

(I love how Adelia lives in a castle, Kathrina & Veronica live in a cottage and Zelda & Reese live in a straight-up Condo.)

(Haha right? Character development at its finest. Also, just a reminder the sisters need to be gearing up for return/revenge soon. No rush, but like… soon ;))

Adelia watched Jovie walk away, her eyes soft. She turned back to her study, opened the door, and went inside.

Thoughts, ideas, conversations all floated through her mind as she worked her way through mindless policies for her people. She continuously sipped on her tea to keep herself awake. She hadn't been able to sleep last night (not that she would admit it to Jovie or anyone else for that matter). Adelia found her sleep becoming less frequent, and when she would finally manage to doze off, she slept restlessly. This was why she needed the raw morning light to refresh her every morning. However, sipping on her tea didn't do much good to erase another restless night, and the queen nodded off into a light sleep over her papers.

(I'm not sure what kind of dream I want her to have, but it involves her sisters.)

(Waiting for ‘the signal’. I was actually thinking it might happen at dusk, just because of the darkness, but that’s up to Zelda. Oh, and I forgot to mention this earlier, I do tend to write longer stuff, but I’ll try to keep it reasonable)

Veronica finished her fifth scroll, and gasped. The same results. Her prediction had come true. Finally! It was time!

“Kati! Kati! We must pack! I feel it! It’s time! I know it with every bone in my body. The call will come!”

Veronica hurriedly bundled as many scrolls, trinkets, cat supplies, and herb jars in her pack. She then rushed into Kathrina’s room, where her sister was busy pouring the last few drops of poison into a vial.

“Yes, yes, Veronica. Your little prophecy will come true and you will have all the fun you want,”Kathrina replied sarcastically.

“Oh, you’re no fun at all.”

“You woke me up! For what, some stupid sunrise that happens everyday?”

“This one is different. I predicted this very sunrise would happen. Then, the call comes and we rise to glory once more, ruling at the sides of our elder sister, Zelda!”Veronica insisted dramatically.

Kathrina sighed and shook her head. She then noticed Veronica’s pack.

“Amateur. Is that really how you carry your things? You clearly need some lessons on magic then.”

Veronica huffed,”I enchant items better than you ever could!”

“Then make a portable house. Or, at least, a portable chest. Besides, I’m already packed.”

Kathrina put a stopper in her newest poison vial, put it in a case next to her, closed it, and tapped the lock. The case shrank and Kathrina placed it in her belt pouch.

“Done.”

Reese sat on the couch, drinking their tea, while Zelda stood in the kitchen making hash browns.

"So," she said, her voice trailing off, "we're going to see your aunts today. The twins and I are meeting to talk about something."

"The twins," Reese asked, "Kathrina and Veronica?"

Zelda nodded. "I know you've never met them before, but you're coming with me to see them this time instead of me leaving you with your babysitter."

"I didn't like her anyways," Reese said, "Ms.Karen was pretty mean to me."

"She was pretty mean," Zelda nodded, "though I thought you didn't mind being called a boy."

"I don't mind," Reese said, "but yelling at me that my 'opinion' didn't matter is not okay with me."

"Hmm," Zelda agreed, "Hash browns are ready, by the way."

Zelda and Reese finished up their breakfast.

"Could you grab your Katana?"

Reese nodded, going to grab said Katana.

"Wait," Reese said, "Why are we heading to their place if they only live in a cottage and we have a huge condo?"

"They live closer to something important," she said casually, "which is probably my fault for moving out of the country."

The two packed up and headed to Kathrina and Veronica's cottage.

(Something I forgot to mention in the character notes, Reese gets mistaken for being an enchanted child a lot.)

(Ooooh, a dusk attack sounds perfect!)

"Your Majesty? My Queen? Queen Adelia?!"

The distressed calls of her maid woke Adelia from her haunted sleep. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes to see Jovie's alarmed face staring back at her. "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Yes, yes, I'm fine," Adelia quickly smoothed her hair and clothes as she talked.

Jovie didn't look the least bit convinced. "I hate to contradict you, but I don't believe that you're fine."

Adelia pursed her lips. The words begged to come from her lips, just as they did every day, but she'd made a vow to never speak how she truly desired to her head maid. Instead, she only sighed and shook her head. "I'm sorry, my dear, but it's only a headache. It will pass with time, I promise."

Jovie took a small step back and nodded. "I understand. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Adelia noticed her tea was nearing empty. "Could you refill my tea?"

"Of course, Your Majesty." Without another word, Jovie took the teacup and left the room.

Adelia released a shaky sigh.
