Ravaryn - Camilla Rizal (High Priestess of Ravaryn)

Details

The High Priestess always wears her silver hair down, draped across her face and shoulders. Camilla also has an immense fear of aging, which is why she has been using youth potions ever since the first signs of aging arose.

Clothing

Ever since officially representing Ravaryn as High Priestess, Camilla is obligated to dress in the colors of her kingdom. Her wardrobe consists mostly of black dresses, some with hints of dark, purple colored details. While her height is on the shorter side, almost nobody has ever realised this. Ever since she tried on her mother's high heels for the first time, she has not parted with that signature look. Without them she wouldn't feel as confident as she normally does.

Camilla is a cunning woman of many faces. With her silvery voice, she can easily manipulate those already vunerable to manipulation. She is determined to the point of no return. Out to achieve everything she has set her mind to, no matter the path she has to take or consequences she has to face. While often pretending to be submissive, she has been dreaming of power and influence ever since the invisibility to her parents. Her determination is fueled by the need to constantly prove herself to everyone.  

Cam has been practising dark magic from a young age. Through knowledge found in books and mostly trial and error. While she practices all sorts of dark magic, her expertise lies within dark alchemy. Using dark magic, she creates cursed items often used to spy on other people. Mirrors that link to her own, or a crow that echoes and repeat the last sentence it has heard, etc. She uses these cursed items to gain a sense of control. To own everything, you must first know everything. She mostly experiments with the crows that she breeds herself.

Born the eldest daughter of Theon and Elizabeth , Camilla was meant to take over the responsibilities as head of the Rizal bloodline one day. Unfortunately enough, young Camilla didn't show signs of having inherited her family's sacred magic at the age that she was supposed to. As soon as it became clear that Camilla did not inherit their families magic, she became invisible to the rest of their family, especially her mother.

After years of living as the invisible Rizal child, she eventually left her family and headed towards Lemuria on her own quest. She wanted strike a deal with a member of the Vylasar bloodline to marry her and gift her a child in order to restore her status and family honor. At the age of nineteen, she eventually got her way by seducing Elyon, an underdog of the family. They got married to the surprise of her parents, giving her some of her credit within the family back.

At the age of 20 she was gifted twins, Alyssia and Ezekiel. Both of her children inherited sorcerer magic, as seen by one of her fortune telling family members. Rizal's were never wrong within their predictions, so she was sure about their childrens gifts. Unfortunately, Elyon also found the letter in which her family member confirmed t heirchilren's sorcerer gifts. Alyssia was granted the gift of Divination, Ezekiel the gift of summoning. However, as soon as she wanted to return home to her family to win over their full approval with her sorcerer children, her husband forced her to leave the twins behind. If not, he would expose her secret about practising dark magic. Something she didn't even knew he was aware of.

Camilla agreed and stayed, together with the twins, but not long after her husband mysteriously disappeared during a journey across the seas, never to be seen again. Now widowed with two almost newborn twins at her side, her plan was to return home to her family in Ishgard with her two children. The Vylasar family, still mourning Elyon's death, demanded to leave the boy with them. Unlike Alyssia, he was a true Vylasar carrying the summoning gift, which made him valuable for his father's family. Eventually, after a long squabble, Camilla returned home to her family in Ishgard, taking only her daughter with her.

With some of her family honor restored, she knew her position as head of the family was still in danger. Camilla started her new lifestyle and studies as a priest within the Ishgard temple with a clear goal in mind. Instead of head of the family, she would one day take place beside the royal family as their High Priestess, proving everyone within her family wrong and bring both Ravaryn and the Rizal bloodline to heights both have never seen before.

As of now, almost 20 years later and not long after her parents passed away, she has managed to get ahold of the position after years of studying and obeying the holy laws. Well, beside still continueing to practice her dark magic in secret. Another secret of hers, is that she has been using Alyssia's gift to gain herself prestige amongst Ravaryn priests and secure her rightful place as High Priestess by predicting future events. She is now known as the first sorcerer who reclaimed her birthright, her gift, that wasn't originally granted to her.
