Darcy Vadhel

Spiced Milk & Honey
The Errant Monarch Butterfly

A fragrant wisp of layered fabrics, too much fluff and startling gold eyes passes by,
leaving the hint of jingles and the scent of amber in their wake.

Oversized tail and ears have a more ‘foxlike’ look and often the first thing one will note about them due to said size. These furry appendages are notably well-cared for, glossy and brushed. Said fur often has bits of foliage, plant matter or flowers in it, or carefully strung beads and ornaments here and there. The hue of the fur also matches their short, curly hair that’s left to do as it pleases or minimally contained with a braid or two. Much like the fur, their hair shows attentive care, soft and sleek though prone to flyaways. Additionally, rather than usual feet, they have black "pawfeet".Their skin is a dusky grey in undertones of blue and brown, with much darker gradient present about their eyes and nose, along their fingers, toes, and other extremities such as shoulders and knees. There’s a splash of white speckled markings along their cheeks and nose, as well as in other spots like their hips and shoulders. There are no clan marks evident on their features or signs of past ones. Instead, they have a variety of dark, ornamental tattoos from head to toe.However, in contrast Darcy's eyes are a striking, even luminous rich gold with irises which often seem too large and on the verge of obscuring the sclera. Their pupils are strange and hazed, oddly akin to rose petals, and framed by dark, thick lashes.Ever difficult to tell if they have much combat prowess, with a figure that shows slim and soft one moment, then sharp with hints of a gymnast’s muscle tone at another angle. They don’t participate in much combat that others have seen yet some insist to spotting Darcy performing various physical feats, albeit usually climbing. Subtle scars scatter across their skin and hint to a life not spent purely in luxury, even if their tastes vary anywhere from rags to decadence.Regarding their voice, it tends to a medium-high pitch that's often low, with an ‘earthy’ tone quality. Some might say the lilting undercurrent borders on musical, but Darcy's never been known to sing.

Hooks

  • Blooming Botanicals

  • Of Artisan Make

  • Questionable Wares

  • A Knife in Their Smile

  • Nightbound Butterfly

Anyone who's known Darcy long enough will associate them with Blooming Botanicals, from flowers crawling along the strands of their long hair and fur, sprouting at the hem of a dress, peeking out from edges of every item on their person. Vials, creams, rolled smokes and far more enhanced services for enchanted embroidery, carvings on aether-aspected gems, a book bound with paper treated for words more powerful than the ink they're written with. All this shows hints on their person, a walking advertisement for Of Artisan Make-- for the many metal loops on their deft fingers are equally handmade. Even so, those with ears closest to the ground or alleys may have heard of beyond those available to the casual purchaser, of Questionable Wares not suited for a proper shopfront or merchant basket. Connections, so goes the murmur, but who's to know these days?Step in the alleys themselves and one might catch a glimpse of gold eyes, flowing layers and jangling trinkets deep within, flitting amongst the looming and lurking with A Knife in Their Smile. In darkened dens, carefully shuttered shops, velvet curtains drawn close to hide whatever may lie in their hearts. And other times, in throngs of crowds at glittering evening, adorned from head to toe. A Nightbound Butterfly lost from its safest warren of daylit means and knitting needles? So one might first think, yet their vibrant wings have yet to tarnish.
