[Full screen HIGHLY recommended. Click/Tap and hold to zoom in.] Venefica Hiemalis – "Winter Witch" in Latin Nadezhda Koline is the leader of the Winter Witches of Signor, and a wielder of Verdant Elixir. Classification: Survivor, Witch Race: Human Age: 34 years (36 at the time of the Fragmentation) Gender: Female (She/Her) Sexuality: Asexual Relatives/Relations: Alexander Shalince (father), Nathreya Koline (mother), Ahmreia Lelorne (close friend), Backstory: [WIP] Nadezhda was the illegitimate child of Alexander Shalince and Nathreya Koline. After her father left her mother, her mother sought out the Winter Witches, which was a very small community at the time, located in the northern mountain range. Nadezhda had just turned one by the time her mother found the witches and joined them. She was raised by the entire community alongside the leader's daughter, Ahmreia. When she was eleven years old, a terribly avalanche nearly killed her, however she was quickly found and nursed back to health. The witches claimed it was a blessing from the Mother Wyvern that Nadezhda survived. At age 13, Nadezhda manifested Verdant Elixir, which was considered the weakest Elixir of all, but was most common among the Winter Witches. She was officially given the title of a fellow Sister among the witches. She was 14 when a small group of Yutyrannus attacked the outskirts of the Witches' community. During this raid, Nadezhda stumbled across an abandoned Wyvern egg. This Wyvern, a Northern Wyvern (or Ice Wyvern), would become her closest friend: Hadigaal. A year later, she saved Ahmreia from a Dire Bear. This earned her great respect from both Ahmreia and her mother. Ahmreia, who had expressed before that she had no interest in becoming the next leader of the Winter Witches would give up said title to Nadezhda when she was 21. Nadezhda would lead the witches for thirteen peaceful years before meeting Echo. Two years later, the Fragmentation would take place. [Important note! All lore written here is not solidified!
