| Oleksandra Vasylovna is starting over. Her old life was lived in service to something she couldn't believe in any longer. The things that happened to her before are certainly many and various, but they're also not something she's much interested in dwelling on too terribly much any longer. She does speak of her old life, and she does speak of her old thinking. But it's often done to counsel others not to think as she used to. Or to present someone around her with a new way of viewing the same old problems. | ||
| She came to the Children of the Tree as a refugee from war and the Guardians of the Veil, and it's a story she'll tell you freely and several people around know well enough to share, besides. But, again. It's not something she advertises per se, and it's not something that she evidences any pride in. Whatsoever. Not even in the leaving of it. Under the mentorship of Balm, she became one of the first non-indigenous Tears of the Martyr's Tree the world had ever seen. Which isn't special, she is quick to point out, and is genuinely <span>bleeping</span> sad. | ||
| These days she mills about the Lodge and the Assembly, or haunts the Tree, waylaying people at random for conversations most tend to find unexpected. She exhibits a profound gift for nonlinear thinking, and as a theory-crafter of Arcane praxis, she is perhaps one of the more highly developed minds in the Assembly. The number of times she has put a pin on a problem without ever casting a direct effect at it is, at this point, a matter of public record. She's good at solving problems, and she's good at doing it quietly. | ||
| Now, she's even good at sleeping at night afterwards. | ||
| As the Lorekeeper of the eurotrash Cadre, the Firebirds, she seems an odd choice. A bit touched in the head as many Acanthus get, clearly distracted by the thoughts in her head, and having obvious difficulty just relating to the world around her in some very fundamental ways anymore. But she knows where last years taxes are, apparently. She is married to Little Fox, and also spends a substantial amount of time being a small village in western Ukraine. Which isn't a joke. Lesja is often known by the name Myrne, commanding the spirit court of the village of the same name. | ||

-- David Foster Wallace, "This is Water"
OVERVIEW
Oleksandra Vasylovna is starting over. Her old life was lived in service to something she couldn't believe in any longer. The things that happened to her before are certainly many and various, but they're also not something she's much interested in dwelling on too terribly much any longer. She does speak of her old life, and she does speak of her old thinking. But it's often done to counsel others not to think as she used to. Or to present someone around her with a new way of viewing the same old problems. She came to the Children of the Tree as a refugee from war and the Guardians of the Veil, and it's a story she'll tell you freely and several people around know well enough to share, besides. But, again. It's not something she advertises per se, and it's not something that she evidences any pride in. Whatsoever. Not even in the leaving of it. Under the mentorship of Balm, she became one of the first non-indigenous Tears of the Martyr's Tree the world had ever seen. Which isn't special, she is quick to point out, and is genuinely bleeping sad. These days she mills about the Lodge and the Assembly, or haunts the Tree, waylaying people at random for conversations most tend to find unexpected. She exhibits a profound gift for nonlinear thinking, and as a theory-crafter of Arcane praxis, she is perhaps one of the more highly developed minds in the Assembly. The number of times she has put a pin on a problem without ever casting a direct effect at it is, at this point, a matter of public record. She's good at solving problems, and she's good at doing it quietly. Now, she's even good at sleeping at night afterwards. As the Lorekeeper of the eurotrash Cadre, the Firebirds, she seems an odd choice. A bit touched in the head as many Acanthus get, clearly distracted by the thoughts in her head, and having obvious difficulty just relating to the world around her in some very fundamental ways anymore. But she knows where last years taxes are, apparently. She is married to Little Fox, and also spends a substantial amount of time being a small village in western Ukraine. Which isn't a joke. Lesja is often known by the name Myrne, commanding the spirit court of the village of the same name. Rumors:
ROLEPLAY HOOKS
AWAKENED INFORMATION
Oontz Oontz
Oontz Oontz appears variously as a free floating ball of blue-white electric light which buzzes and crackles by means of speech, and a human person that identifies as a boy, appears rather effeminate, enjoys music, dancing, and playing electronics, and also completely failing to get on with other humans. Mostly.
Pupyat
Pupyat is a humble rescue mutt from the exclusion zone around Chernobyl. A gift from Mei, the pup is a fixture around the farm in Myrne. Sometimes he's seen around Philadelphia, but home is in a farm west of Odessya. He loves to play, eat, chew on things, and play.
Kevin
Kevin is a jerk. A little black goat that runs around head-butting Lesja in the ankles constantly until picked up and cooed and and pet and hugged and told nice things. Just the worst animal on the farm, really. Absolute prick.
