Creator: kaitlyn
Roleplay: A Tale of Two Queens
Nickname: The Cunning

Name: Scylla "The Cunning" Gataki

Age: 22

Gender/Pronouns: Female (She/Her)

Appearance: Scylla was a giant of a woman standing at a ridiculously 7' 4" and being built like a siege engine. She was reportedly so massive that people would often mistake her for standing on top of a stool if she was standing behind someone. She had fiery red hair, which she usually kept fairly neatly in two braids by her side and piercing grey eyes that spoke of storms and danger. Her skin was on the paler side and she usually wore a fairly gentle smile. That was the only part of her that was remotely comforting however as she generally wore thick and heavily plated armor, often in bronze and with a little touch of gold since the war. She was easily able to handle the weight so why not after all. When not in armor, she generally favored long baggier tunics and often some kind of long skirt. She was not a massive fan of jewelry, not really being able to afford it for most of her life regardless and so tends to avoid it besides a beautiful crown that was gifted to her on the day they defeated Adranus.

Personality: Scylla waws a devious figure, well to some extent. She was a fairly gentle person, she just had this voice that sounds like it could spit acid at you. She doesn't try to trick people, well not really through lies. Its just that most people, or really all people are generally quite happy to do precisely as she says. Scylla naturally was also quite convincing as a result. Its a rare sight indeed when someone is brave or stupid enough to defy her.

Brief Histoy: Scylla hails from the forest originally, from the outskirts of the small city of Sprùilleach where her family lived in a small homestead a little ways out. Their humble life was quickly destroyed by Adranus when Scylla, just old enough to put to work was taken and thrown into the mines. She grew into a fearsome woman, physically at least, and was picked out early on by Lonán as someone who could help out the escape effort and helpful she was "tricking" the guards into giving her the keys as they made their way out. She would be a fearsome force among the twelve and was one of the best fighters among them and the most terrifying, the only one able to control arguably most terrifying of the twelve; Bathildis. She and Bathildis would chose to rule together, over the forests Scylla was born in. Legend has it they had just a tiny crush on each other. But that of course is a secret protected better than all of Adranus' gold was.

Skills: Scylla was a giant of a woman highly skilled in combat, and fairly mobile for her size. She wielded a slightly shortened 6 foot long lance in combat, swinging it around with the ease of a normal spear on her own too feet, giving concussions out like candy on Halloween.



I was flummoxed by fractious Franny's decision to abrogate analgesics for the moribund victims of the recent conflagration. Of course, to display histrionics was discretionary, but I did so anyways, implicating a friend in my drama to make the effect cumulative. I think a misanthrope would have a prosaic appellation, perhaps one related to autonomy and the rejection of anthropocentrism. I think they wouldn't think much of the prominence of watching the coagulation of tea to prognosticate future malevolent events, not even if those events were related to jurisprudence.
