(WIP)

She is a fallen angel, disguising herself as a witch to the people following her descent from heaven. She is deeply curious and loves to read, study, and explore the new world she descended upon. The memories of her past and who she was are distant, and faint to her, but the feelings remain just as they were.

Personality

Her personality is quiet and mysterious. She's not great at speaking and is mostly quiet, often putting on an eerie smile around others and simply watching. Her presence can be deeply unsettling to those unfamiliar with her. Deep down however down she is unstable and emotional. Her mind and consciousness merged with a deity prior to her falling, forming her current identity. It altered her emotions, and her thoughts whilst keeping half of her original self, leaving with a mix of confusing emotions and thoughts. She doesn't even know who she is at this point, if she has become the deity, if she is unchanged, if she killed her past self? Cradle is simply who she became.Her ability to control her emotions is strong, and she can hide it, but she can break.She is deeply curious and has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, reading hundreds of books and watching people from afar in an effort to learn how to be more "human" and to learn about the world she now inhabits. Despite her intelligence, and all she's learnt, she still lacks the one thing she desires most; her sense of self.

History

Prior to her falling her name was Irisiel, an angel whom represented color and the light of heaven itself, with many believing she had been marked by god.She would be fused with the essence of an unknown deity against her will, slowly mixing with her mind and consciousness as the line between her and it, grew thinner and thinner. Eventually forming the single consciousness and identity that is Cradle, with it there was no second voice, no other to judge or to witness what she had become, just a single confused mind that did not know who, or what she was at that point. And eventually, it led to her fall...
She cannot remember the fine details, but the feelings of those events, and the feelings about her identity still remain.

World

She is set in a gothic Victorian themed world with grand gothic architecture all around, 400 years after a cataclysmic event that allowed demon kind to set foot on earth. Now a harsh world where witches govern and rule under a collective government known as the syndicate. Only those capable of witchcraft could fend off the demon hordes, and the witches, once despised by all were now the people's only hope to survive.And those who refused to live by the witch's, are already long gone.

facts

✧ She hides her angelic features such as her halo and wing. The people are oblivious to the fact that she is an angel, only thinking of her as an ordinary albeit peculiar witch.✧ She has zero magical presence, often seeming like she doesn't even exist to those so accustomed to seeing it, almost like a ghost. However she still gives people that sense of eeriness.✧ Her scars resemble the star shaped hair pin and the symbol on her halo, this is even more apparent when she closes her eyes.✧ Her pupils glow even in the dark leading to her looking terrifying in the dark.✧ Despite originally reading books purely for information and knowledge, she eventually discovered fiction and has become obsessed with it.✧ She is ambidextrous as right and left handedness are a foreign concept to her kind
