Plus with her natural gift and kinship with butterflies' and other winged insects, she is able to intake much information.
Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ Eccentric: Viola is fascinated with language and butterflies yet does not specialize in the element of earth. What an odd combination this is, but "es pas problem" as Viola says.
Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ Aloof: Viola, whether subconsciously or not, prefers not to pay attention to much of anything unless it interests her. That being said, she pays attention only to denotative words and not so much the meanings behind them which make her aloof to the emotions sometimes being conveyed.
Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ Composed: Viola, having grown up in a family that was still prestigous, was taught to hold herself much to the standards of the Polavillierre lineage. This has become second nature to her and rarely will she act out of sorts.
Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ Talkative: She is a linguist! Language is her area of expertise. Why would she not exercise her gift?
- ღ Biography
Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ Viola was born not with a silver spoon in her mouth, but within a comfortable life. She had a long lineage of both elven and human relatives that fell once humans were stripped of their noble status and subsequently enslaved. Viola, while awestruck, knew her place and the power she hadn't had at the time. Within time her family lineage withered. She was the only elf left in her family. Given the burden of carrying on her family lineage by her parents, she eventually disowned her own family and sought her own fortune at a younger age due to the unwanted pressure she was being given to bear a child. One would think that with her elven blood that she would live a long life, but that was not the case for half-elfs. They did not live as long as their full-fledged brethren, though they had the gift of magical awareness.
Viola took interest in butterflies within the last of her teenage years. By the time she saw her 20th winter, she became a lepidopterologist. She began to acquire much information as she shared an odd connection with these insects. She hadn't ever known much of any magic connected to its' organic roots; whether through flame, water or earth. No.. she knew language and the manner of articulation required to speak such words.
She understood not only this articulation but sound carried by the wind. Her interest in butterflies merely was a result in the messages they carried. Moths as well; but they spoke to her in strange ways. Perhaps they were unique butterflies but with as silent and common as they were, butterflies and moths were always around but rarely noticed. The information they were able to acquire finally had a flower to speak to. This flower was Viola.
By her 25th winter, she had changed her studies from lepidopterology to linguistic anthropology. She wanted to understand language on a deeper level. She wanted to further understand what she was being told. The sounds of what surrounded her from sentient beings to another. They all had a language, and Viola wanted to understand it.
Her knowledge drove her to discover her element as well: air. But not in the typical sense. Energy is necessary to emit sounds which require air to travel from one sentient being to another. She had an acute ability to intercept this internal translation from one being to another.
Unfortunately, during her 25th winter; her parents had once again found her. They seized the right to wed her off. But this did not keep Viola from her studies and she out-right refused to bear a child only for her parents' sake. She had much more information she had to intake. So now, her knowledge has grown and her arsenal of messengers as well. Yes, she is the Butterlfy Kisser; but there many more winged insects that carry the sounds of sentience around them that direct it towards Viola..
Additionally... ...Viola had grown up with a wonderful boy (now girl) under another name. That name she keeps to her own advantage, as she has now allowed the once-boy now Ellearia Gwenli de Petris to become her servant. She treats her well, but knows the advantages that come with Elle. Knowing she has an astounding ability to manipulate her appearances with makeup and manipulate those around her with but a whistle; Viola often sends her out to interact with others in the guise of "fetching errands." Others do not know of the intent of Elle due to her silence, yet Viola is thoroughly aware.
To assist with shielding the identity of Elle, she had given her to her husband to be his concubine. She doesn't care what he has to say about it, as Viola has many uses planned for Elle.
