The Blood Hound
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: Bringing a character from Scherezade deWinter's family history forward to help her train in the arts of Sith Sorcery.
- Image Credit: Original image is from here. I photoshopped that image about five years ago if not more.
- Role: Verberri was [member="Nessarose deWinter"] 's Raven, which meant that she was part of a special entourage. Nessarose deWinter is Scherezade deWinter's mother. Verberri still maintains her position on Endelaan.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION
- Age: Verberri was born over five hundred years ago. After the Queen and King of Endelaan disappeared due to the Gulag Plague, Verberri entered stasis mode to ensure she would still be there when at least the Queen returned. When the Queen returned several years ago, so did Verberri.
- Force Sensitivity: Sith Master
- Species: Human
- Appearance: Veberri stands at an average female height of 5"5. Her body is more on the scawny side, and it's clear she puts no importance on keeping in physical shape. Her skin is dark. Her hair is routinely cropped short, and she does so herself, as she puts no importance on appearance either. But those who see Verberri rarely forget her, for where eyes are meant to be, are just gaping holes, the remains of an infection that took her eyes and sight when she was but a child.
- Name: Verberri, the Queen's Raven
- Loyalties: Endelaan, it's Queen and King, and all the Princes and Princesses of Endelaan.
- Wealth: Her needs are met at the Forbidden Temple on Endelaan. She has no income of her own.
- Notable Possessions: A lock of hair from [member="Nessarose deWinter"]
- Skills: Sith Sorceress and Seer
- Personality: Verberri is not a pleasant person. She's harsh, and she doesn't grasp the need for verbal or other forms of coddling. She has high demands and expectations towards those who are around her and is not shy about lashing out when those expectations are not met. She'd very set in the old ways of Endelaan, and anything that brings forth change (such as being introduced to new technologies) unsettles her. She views anyone who is not of Endelaan or willing to join it as inferiors, though she inhabits a deep disdain towards many on Endelaan as well. When she works though, her focus is incredibly sharp, and it's nearly impossible to distract her of what needs to be done. She harbors no love at present for anyone but the King and Queen of Endelaan and their offspring.
- Weapon of Choice: The Force
- Combat Function:
Verberri's primary role on a combat field is to provide support for Sith Warriors and Sorceresses who are taking an active combat role on. She is not a fighter by any means.
Strengths
Mental Supremacy - Verberri's mind is sharp and focused. It would take a lot to break her focus. - Sith Sorceress - Adhering to the Endelaanian dichotomy of warriors and sorceresses, Verberri is a Sith Sorceress, and a highly trained one at that.
[*]Weaknesses
- Entirely incapable of physical combat. She's weak and a kick will be enough to have her sprawled on the ground.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
It is only by chance and luck that Verberri may count herself among the seeing. A scion to Clan Zeresh, she would have probably been executed for being a Force User by the Clan had it not been for the disease that struck her eyes. What began as a simple eye infection quickly developed, and before long, the untreated child's eyes began to rot in her head. By the time she was taken out of the Clan for medical help, there was nothing left to do but remove them entirely. Verberri spent months in treatment before the last of the infection was removed from her head, by then which the adults who'd brought her from Zeresh to Vashti had long gone.
Under normal circumstances, Verberri would have been left at Zeresh's entrance, yet the girl began to display not only a knack of the Force, but the ability to See as well. Her first premonition foretold that her return to Zeresh would result in her death. Her second premonition foretold the cure of the woman who had taken care of her, warning her of the cancer that was gnawing at her flesh. The woman died anyway, but Clan Vashti decided to keep Verberri out of Zeresh's grip, wishing to take the credit for such a powerful Seer for themselves.
Verberri grew up and was part of the Seer's Circle. Though many admired her abilities with the Force, she had no friends, no lovers, and no one that was close to her in any way, but also no enemies. Thinking she would spend the remainder of her life as an outsider to Endelaan's social circles, she herself was more surprised than any when the Queen made her a Raven, to take the place of Aeval, a former Raven who had found an unfortunate death.
As the Queen's Raven, Verberri's guidance and point of view was very much sought after, and while she did not oppose to too many of the King and Queen's plans to develop and expand Endelaan and its territories, she was a constant voice for conservatism, reminding them that Endelaan's power lay in it being forgotten at large by the rest of the Galaxy.
While Endelaan remained relatively safe due to its distance during the Gulag years, its King and Queen were not. Verberri had foreseen their disappearance through the Force, and had taken the required steps to ensure that she would be there when they woke, however far into the future. When Nessarose awoke some three years ago, so did Verberri. But Nessarose disappeared again, and the seer thought it better not to return to stasis again, but wait.
Her original plans had been to wait for either the King or Queen to return, yet as she waited, she could feel one of their children rising within the Force, stirring - and so she set on a journey to search for them and to give them proper the guidance that their parents, presently, could not. Verberri is severely unhappy about this, as it means she has to leave Endelaan for the first time, and go face a galaxy in order to find a child that could someday be her Queen.
