Aline August
The crow and the Swan
About
Appearance A striking, delicate woman with long hair split cleanly down the middle—one side white, the other black. Her attire mirrors this duality: a dancer’s dress divided between light and dark, with a single swan wing and a single crow wing manifesting from her back. Her presence feels theatrical even when she is still. Speech and Mannerisms Quirky and slightly off-beat. Struggles to match the “correct” emotional response to a situation, often pausing or imitating others instead. Moves with unconscious grace even in mundane moments, as if always halfway through a performance. Profession and Hobby A ballet dancer whose entire life was engineered toward perfection on stage. Performs flawlessly, yet struggles deeply with basic household tasks and daily living. Feels intense shame over any perceived incompetence, conditioned to equate failure with punishment. Powers Host to two psychic regulators: The Swan — projects calm, hope, comfort, and emotional stabilization. The Crow — projects despair, grief, fear, and emotional heaviness. Aline manipulates emotional states rather than casting spells, affecting allies, enemies, and environments alike. She can manifest one wing from each entity; both are extraordinarily durable and can be used as bladed melee weapons. Emotional balance determines control—overreliance on either side destabilizes her psyche. Backstory Abandoned by her birth family and taken in by a wealthy patron who exploited her talent. Raised without affection, autonomy, or a childhood, she was treated as an investment rather than a person. Years of emotional abuse left her deeply scarred, hyper-disciplined, and terrified of imperfection—yet unable to understand her own feelings outside the structure of dance.
