Profile
Name: Aino Vertanen
Sex: Assigned female (NB)
Age: 11
Background: Fisher('s kid)
Hair: Dark brown, long, usually loose and a tangled mess
Eyes: Dark brown
Stage: Apprentice
Familiar: Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix), named Impi
Touched by The Wood: No
Truth: (No cloak/coat yet; will be "Nobody has only a single face.")
History: (cw: mentions of physical/emotional child abuse) Aino remembers, vaguely, a time before their mother remarried, when they didn't need to walk on glass or fear pain and hunger. That was a long time ago, though, and they've adjusted in the way abused children do. Their mother shields them and their older stepsister as much as she can, but she can only do so much and Aino can only tolerate seeing their mother hurt so many times. They began to let their hair hang over their face to hide the bruises. Eventually, it became too much, and they ran into the forest, away from their stepfather, away from a home that had become a prison. There, they saw... something, shaped vaguely like a woman with a hollow back. They ran away, before it saw them, fleeing to the only person they knew who could ward away such things: Kirsikka, the local woodwife (although at the time, Aino only knew her as a witch).
Kirsikka took them in, soothed their fears, and offered to teach them what she knew. Aino accepted, and threw themself into learning, finding comfort, however fleeting, in the mundane chores that went into magic and hearing their teacher's singing. However, they couldn't stay there forever; within a week, their father went to Kirsikka for assistance with finding them, and found them there. They were taken back to their family's home, and
Likes: Solitude, being away from home, licorice candies (particularly salmiakki), crows, learning
Dislikes: Men, sudden movements, yelling, being called a girl
Talents:
Weaknesses:
Impi is capable of mimicking a couple of words, mostly "Hei!" (Hello) and "Rrrkele!" (her attempt at Perkele). Her range (and capacity to accurately mimick p's) will expand as time passes, but those are just what she's picked up from her time in the village as an ordinary crow.
