Josephine "Joki" Wilde

=• Biography •=

In the Wilde family, death is a tradition. Necromancy, Thanatology, Mortuary Science...if it begins with death, it ends with Wilde.

Once one of London's most prominent families, the fall of the House Wilde has long been old news. The last patriarch, Alexander Wilde, was known to be brilliant but erratic, charismatic but cruel, and it was no surprise when he withdrew from society and secluded himself and his wife and children within the Wilde estate near London.

The rumors were abundant and vicious- tales of bigamy, insanity; ghastly experiments and questionable loyalties. From time to time the Wildes would still make headlines in the society papers. Usually when they died. There was the drowning death of a young son, followed a few years after by the death of the matriarch, Thomossa Wilde, and finally Alexander Wilde himself. As far as the public knew there was but one remaining Wilde, a daughter named Josephine who inherited the estate that even in decline was worth a fortune.

The gossip columnists had one last heydey at the expense of the Wildes. When at last the fickle public moved on to other things and quiet descended on the Wilde mansion, Joki returned to her studies in blood magic and mortuary science, only too glad to return to her carefully constructed isolation.

=• Physical Appearance •= Hers is a wild face, a weird face; symmetrical and well-formed but with a feral awareness and a perpetually unpleasant expression that bars it from the realm of “pretty”. Green is her dominant color, from the veins that lie visible beneath her pallid skin to the color of her eyes and most obviously her hair. Brilliant green at the roots and black at the ends, fading into all the tones between, her hair falls thick and carelessly arranged to the middle of her back. Arched brows and thick lashes frame eyes that are bold and mocking. Her figure is snakelike, sinuous and slender with adequate curves that lend to the impression rather than detract from it. Her hands are above all her features exquisite, with long agile fingers tapering to sensitive tips and smooth nails.

Silver jewelry often glints from multiple piercings in Joki's face and ears, and among her collection of body art is are tattoos of anchor made of hooks and a dagger beneath her left collarbone, the German word Jäger on the inside of her right wrist, and a skillful, if somewhat macabre, rendering of wings done in scarification and magical tattooing down her back.

=• Personality and Mannerisms •= Aloof and haughty, Joki often seems to be barely tolerating the company of others. In crowds and classrooms she is a nearly silent presence, preferring observation to participation, meditation to public action, and commonly responding only when spoken to. Her moods are volatile and frequently violent, chaos ruling just beneath her cool facade. Those who consider her a "friend" are well aware of the fleeting nature of her affections, from warm and accommodating to chill and exclusive at her whim. When deep in thought, Joki will sit in silence for hours, barely moving as her tireless mind works. Her face is expressive in unguarded moments, emotions plain on her features. She is driven, determined; methodically ceaseless in her pursuits.

=• Studies & Aspirations •= Joki holds degrees in Forensic Science, Necromantic Studies, and Thanatology.
