"Scents will find their way around the darkness of closed eyes, slipping past barricades of thought."
"We all choose a good story over the truth any day."

Description

Heloise stands a fingerbreadth past a full six feet in height, statuesque frame well suited to pleasantly rich curves beneath skin pale beyond fair. Full and firmly shaped lips are dusky rose with fainter sweeps of color over the heights of sculpted cheekbones. These last gently tilt her eyes upwards at the outer edges, irises so dark as to blend with the pupils.
Hair like black glass coils in heavy clusters well past the small of her back, kept in check by a few ornate mother-of-pearl pins at the delicate temples and wide brow. Around the long stem of neck circles a white tattoo, a choker from which ink threads dribble down over flesh like lines of powder across paper. The woman's voice is a pure mezzo-contralto, velvety smooth.

To those who can perceive it, her curves become decadently rich beneath skin leeched to paper white. Poison red lips, brazen cheekbones, eyes tilted sharply upwards at the outer edges, sullen foxfire smolders around oversized pupils. Hair of slickly-dewed gossamer, bunches of dark grapes greyed by noble rot shimmering at the delicate temples and wide brow. The tattoo is not a tattoo but a pale scar. Her voice echoes faintly as if from some vast depth.

History

Public ~ A rather tragic history. Heloise lost her whole family - both parents, her brother, grandmother and great-aunt - in a car accident in the beginning of 2022, with her the sole survivor. The Vércse family had been among the big movers and shakers of the city in the 50s through to the 70s, courtesy of their booming coffee business Kovacs Coffee. They were of old noble Hungarian origins, who escaped in the second world war to immigrate to America. But their business was lost due to a series of fatal mismanagement errors, and gradually their fortune faded down to just a single coffee house and bookstore. This the young lady has inherited, but it's been closed since the accident.

Twilight Accord ~ To Those In The Know, she's shown up at the Allthings but only as a background character. There are whispers she had lost her friends and was in mourning. She was withdrawn and subdued and unlikely to interact with anyone, her appearances but a token effort. Still, she might be a familiar face to some.

The Lost ~ She was actually born in the 1940s. She lost all her friends to the Gentry who attacked the Freehold in the spring of '22, and is only just recently come out of more or less hiding. She is of the Winter Court.

Soundtrack

The Venice Connection ~ Crash into Me
Always feels like we are starting over
Trying to be just who we really are
I can't help but be calm, lying in the dark now
I can't help but be calm‚ lying where you are
So lost
Crash into me
This Mortal Coil ~ Song To The Siren
Hear me sing, "Swim to me
Swim to me; let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you"
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ~ Song Of Joy
The wind round here gets wicked cold
But my story is nearly told
I fear the morning will bring quite a frost
Julie Byrne ~ Follow My Voice
I've been called heartbreaker
For doing justice to my own
I, too, been a fault-finder
But that life is broke
The Real Tuesday Weld ~ Let It Come Down
Come die with me and feed my love
And we will all love's pleasures prove
Through hills and valleys, dale and fields
Our darkness and desire revealed
Theatres Des Vampires ~ Carmilla
She comes to bring the sorrow
She is like a cold embrace
She murmurs words of madness
She comes to bring the death
Nick Drake ~ Cello Song
You would seem so frail in the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion go out to fight
But while the Earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky on the crest of a wave
Dead Can Dance ~ How Fortunate the Man with None
You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink
Sisters of Mercy ~ More
Do you get scared to feel so much?
To let somebody touch you?
So hot, so cold, so far so out of control
Hard to come by, and harder to hold
Fleet Foxes ~ White Winter Hymnal
I was following the pack, all swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads from fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow
Red as strawberries in the summertime
Laura Marling ~ Goodbye England (Covered in Snow)
But a friend of mine says it good to hear
That you believe in love even if said in fear
Well I'll hold you there brother and set you straight
I only believe true love is frail and willing to break
Sisters of Mercy ~ Driven Like The Snow
Still night, nothing for miles
White curtain come down
Kill the lights in the middle of the road
And take a look, take a look around.....
It don't help to be one of the chosen
One of the few, to be sure
Nik Ammar / Lucy Underhill / Michael Orchard ~ Thorn in My Side
I'm home
But nothing's ever what it seems
There's darkness in the best of dreams
Scratch the surface and you'll find the scars
Like tiny stars
