Albino Raven ((Persephone))
Albino Luna Moth ((Nyx))In the beginning Rumi came from a traveling healing alchemist who escaped the war and from a rogue witch who had no choice but to leave her coven. The earth was in love with the moon, as the moon loved the earth.
Her father Dimitri Sokolov was a healer but as well as a former soldier, he fought valiantly but the aftermath was gruesome. He had lost many of his comrades and felt that once he'd resigned he would travel around the world, trading his wares and herbs.
Many times he'd help the needy who couldn't afford the clinics.Her mother Beatrice Evans was also a healer with inheritance of magical abilities and from a witch coven, but unfortunately witches didn't exactly interact with humans too much, they weren't very well liked by humans so living a normal life was difficult.Covens were known to speak with demonic beings so their intentions could either be deemed good or bad.
But it never stopped the small villages from being afraid of magic, it was always outcast so the covens would meet in secret to avoid any kinds of issues from the towns.Beatrice was young when she met Dimitri Sokolov but she was also curious about his work, she didn't think people had the ability to heal without magic. Although some of it seemed rather gruesome to her she was also just as easily fascinated by his studies. The two would meet often while he stayed in the village's below the cliff, in turn Dimitri would show her the old ways of healing and Beatrice would teach him a spell or two.
Dimitri was aware of covens the marking that would bear on the children who followed. Covens carried many ages from the youth to the elderly who were also wise. Beatrice would explain how the blessings from the gods and goddess gave them their marks and abilities to see what some could not, Beatrice inherited the ability to see the dead amongst the living for the abilities to learn magic as much as she could, a gift from hecate herself.It wasn't long enough that covens were soon being sought out by angered towns folk who saw witches as a plague. They would burn their temples and homes, ransack the people of their altars and offerings, destroying them to dust. Only to be burned by the stakes, but one escaped.
Dimitri was able to help Beatrice sneak out through the woods as the two left on a merchant ship. Not a trace of her coven and her friends were left behind.Ages; 0-10
Time had gone on for the two and eventually had settled in a secluded place of Nevivon, having been pirates and traders of all kinds they had a small fortune going, it was useful keeping up a good image while also providing to the folks of Nevivon after Beatrice's brush with death she was incredibly cautious with Rumi when she was born. Rumi was also unfortunately cursed by the angered goddess. When she was only a baby barely a year old, Hecate was known for being somewhat mischievous but she was a the goddess of witchcraft and she loved the offerings given to her but her loyal worshippers, but was distraught upon hearing her temples and sanctuary were destroyed. Hecate had a liking for Rumi, so much that she had given her the curse of the beast, to be filled with a ravenous rage every blood moon.Growing up it wasn't the easiest thing, Dimitri would try to keep Rumi out of too many prying eyes as she studied magic. Beatrice was busy attempting to hide away any history of her covens and dark magic, they did the best keeping things as relatively safe and normal as they could, until blood moons would occur. It used to be small objects and animals that rumi would go after but it quickly became harder each year to calm down her rage. It wasn't till about age 8 things became more gruesome. Rumi's rage became more violent so they would provide herbal mixtures of cooling remedies. Rumi being born with her magic was a little out of control but her mother handled it well. Rumi was probably about 10 years old when she learn that magic has consequences, witches and morph their body, grow wings if the desired too, but an accident happened and ended up being heavily lacerated on her back and her leg, And she was left with nasty scars on top of that so she focused more on learning experience vs simply trying to mimic her mother. So for a while she kept it small and simple like levitating drops of water or healing a wilted flower.Ages; 14 - 16
Around the time she was 14 that she met her little sister Circe, Circe was well adopted by Beatrice. Assumed that at that time, slave trading existed so for Circe she was quickly sold for the sake of Funds by her original family and tried to slip off the pirate ship and ran into Beatrice. Beatrice being a protective mother knew the situation without really needing to guess much and took her in. Circe was around 6 years old at this time. She couldn't learn magic but she liked watching Rumi alot. When Rumi was almost 16, her family had received word from Vesuvia on the spread of the red plague and she used to watch her parents for nights on end with experiments on medical supplies and potions with no good news in return. Rumi had wanted to end the frustration and arguing that had occurred in her family so she attempted opening a magic circle from her mothers library. Of course she had to make a deal. She didn't know who the being was nor what it precisely wanted in the end but she thought an offering of blood wod help. It wasn't until her father discovered her conjuring magic spells that he had stepped in as soon as he sensed the dangers in front of her. Before she could even react he was dragged away and gone right before her eyes. In the midst of a breakdown she hurt herself violently to get him to return but it was already done. He wasn't returned. Upon his disappearance that made Rumi's family move to Vesuvia. Beatrice remarried so she could be a permanent resident though it wasn't a happy marriage and she never changed her last name, the stepfather Viktor Ivanov is a piece of shady work and a bit verbally abusive and sometimes physically so Rumi would take the hits a lot.Pre-Plague ((3 years ago))
It wasn't until Circe became infected from the plague that Rumi wanted to do something in assistance. So she had the chance to apprentice under Dr. Devorak tho, unfortunately their first meeting wasn't exactly a good one. Magic would be a bit of an unnatural but also common thing to doctors alike so in the beginning he would be cold and bitter towards her, assuming magic should've whisked away this plague but that was impossible for any witch or magician around. Rumi was able to slow down the number of sick patients, something that surpassed her mother.Eventually the two had been able to have normal conversations with each other creating a friendship. On regular occurrences she would share dr8nks and stories that eased the tension of the outside worlds and had passed to the point where the two developed a relationship but unfortunately in her midst to find a cure from this red plague Circe had only worsened in condition. Asra who lived at her mother's magic urged Rumi and her family to leave otherwise they would fall another victim to the plague. Asra was in love with Rumi but she couldn't bear to leave people to rot and her mother had also become infected but she was in fact immune to it. Rumi was back and forth tending the sick and tending to Lucio after he personally hired to clinic to tend to him when he became ill as well, during this time as well Lucio had some advances towards rumi, it wasn't extreme but it made her overall feel uncomfortable a bit, till she eventually became infected through unknown reasons. Circe had passed from the plague and Rumi's sudden disappearance her mother had caught wind of Valdemar performing inhuman experiments they conducted for no personal gain and that Rumi was among them. Her mother took a risk and went through drastic measures to not lose another person she loved. Rumi's Patron is the Death arcana, her mother went as far as striking a deal death couldn't refuse. Beatrice offered death a vessel to in habit and her magic abilities of it meant bringing her child back so death agreed. And as we know, death barely had a body left he could only change to a small insignificant form but even that drained so much of his power thanks to Valdemar assisting the devil.
While her mother conducted the ritual, Asra was left to care for her comatose body that was still intact.
Rumi isn't possessed or anything, it's more like she has a second ability and death would occasionally visit her dreams. So she still has her own thoughts and body. On occasions death will warn her if something is deadly or heal her by taking control of her. In rare or dire situations he will take control of her completely if her body is to cease any functions that cause death.Present
Going into the present day she has little memories of the plague like Julian but she's missing 3 years of memories, her mom can't do what she devoted her life to. So she's always home and in bed constantly dealing with the curse death left her that caused her body to change into a monstrous beast a lot of the time Rumi will go out for her running errands. On Top of Rumi having to be retrained to control her magic, Asra helps her with that while also teaching her to control her emotions since witches are magic users of emotions and feelings. While also feeding off of other people's emotions but that's not really often as she can mostly sense things more being highly observant. It wasn't until everything was normal when the countess of Vesuvia required her assistance.
