↝ PERSONALITY ↜
Mavka is strangely, cold, and withdrawn wearing a mask that hides her personal warmth. Mavka is the ultimate devil's advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. She is a loyal individual who'd happily put those who loathes her into place, or disrespects the her or her Court. She is very stubborn and keeps herself opinionated, although she is quite a natural at lying. The woman was born to be a general, raised since birth to be the determined machine she is today. The general gained her position not just through birth, but that very seed of determination she was born with. Fighting and training her way to the top. Due to her past Mavka has a tendency to never trust others. Only herself. When she was younger in Hewn City, taking the beatings her father etched into her skin, the young girl had both faith and trust in her mother to stop such a barbaric occurrence. The young girl believed that the one person she loved and admired would stop the agony, and withhold Mavka's father from continuing these beating. If she only saw. The threats, and the belittling. Her mother saw, but paid no mind. Explaining to her child that it was for the better.

Growing up in the Court of Nightmares, Mavka had to adapt. She had to become more than a warrior, more than flesh and bone to batter. Mavka had to become clever, and unpredictable. With this being said, she learned at a young age how to mask her emotions. Mavka has learned how to play different roles, usually portraying herself as the loyal lapdog of the Night Court or Orion Darling himself. At other times, she places a mask of indifference on her stoned face, acting like the bitch she was forged to be. The woman isn't above belittling those around her, or speaking her mind when it's beneficial. Almost everything Mavka does has a benefit behind it, a motive that serves its purpose. Whatever she does, it is based around serving her Court or herself. She has an unwavering loyalty to those who have earned her trust, and a deep hatred towards those who have broken it. She handles things with a certain level of casualness, courteousness and grace that is as savage and dangerous as it is beautiful and remarkable.

↝ BACKSTORY ↜
Mavka was born through a influential family of the Night Court, more specifically the Court of Nightmares. Mavka is the youngest child of two, her eldest brother the inheritor of their families wealth and estate. Being born in The Hewn City, and the home of both dreamers and nightmares Mavka lived a life as any other in her position. Growing up in the court of shadows and deceit, Mavka was taught of betrayal and loyalty. Both opposing each other, but both utterly important. Early in Mavka's life it was decided that she'd train to be the next reigning general, to the army of the Night Court. A decision she was incapable of making at the age of eight, but one she took in stride. The position would grant her family a favor with the reigning lords and ladies of the Court of Night. It was a chance for her family to stay in power in the Hewn City, and a better chance at extending their influence.
Mavka's father was never a kind or nurturing man, his sturdy hand of iron keeping both Mavka and her mother in line. As far back as she could recall the man was a tyrant, but nonetheless her father. Vivid memories of her father's punishments reside in her head, haunting her sleepless night. As punishment for her mistakes and missteps during training, often resulted in numerous whippings across the back, and the center of her palms. The scars that reside on her skin, a reminder of her fathers temperament and lack of nurturing abilities.
Mavka has trained reluctantly since the age of nine, in both the Court of Nightmares and the Court of Night. Being trained by the previous general, and taught in politics by both her father and the intellectuals of the Court. Due to her families ties with the reigning family, Mavka grew up along the current Lord of Night. Seeing the Orion various times through her childhood, only to grow farther acquainted with the man as they aged. Before taking the position of General, Mavka swore not just to her childhood friend but his family. She'd be loyal until her death, no matter the cause or feat. The tattoos that snake up her arms and across her porcelain skin, evidence of her loyalty and promise.
On the first day of taking the position of High General, Mavka herself ventured into Hewn City back to the estate she had been raised in. Venturing through the grand doors of the family home, Mavka was embraced with a celebratory dinner. The celebration itself orchestrated around her advancing, and taking the role of commander over the courts blood thirsty army. Family littered the home, cousins, aunts, uncles, and the occasional niece and nephew ventured through the house congratulating her in drunken or sober exclamation. Even her mother had congratulated her, with a crooked smile, and frigid touch. Everyone but her father. It was an unimportant detail, for she knew where the man held himself. How he accumulated the praise of his family for his success in raising a skilled heir. After the celebration itself, Mavka met her father in his study. Mavka didn't appear in Hewn City, and that house of Nightmares to celebrate. She didn't walk through the doors of his office to gloat, and receive the praise of a monster. With that being said, Mavka took revenge on her father.
Her first act as High General, being the execution of the man that provoked such malicious thoughts, and vividly agonizing memories. The action itself was slow, and time consuming. A vengeful exchange of pain, and torture. After such a event, Mavka has disassociated herself with her family, rarely speaking to her mother Valloma. Families hold grudges, even those built on Nightmares and Blood.
