The Maven and the Devil

(needs to be updated from prior class)



Name: The Soft-Hearted Maven (real name Jane Melissa Rosewood)

Referred to as: "Maven" "Doctor Rosewood/Doctor" "Miss Rosewood" "Jane"

Pronouns: She/her

Species: Human

Age: Mid twenties

About: Originally from the surface, The Soft-Hearted Maven descended to the Neath to find her sister. She has a reputations for, depending on who you ask, either helping whomever she can or sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong. A bit of a curious person in the eyes of society, rumored to be a shepherd of souls and will often return them to their original owners, yet she is also often seen in the company of a devil that people say is her paramour. There are also rumors that she has noble blood in her, but not many believe it; could someone so blasé about social norms and being a good Victorian woman really be a noble? Though, there is something about the way she speaks that seems to turn situations to her favor...

Ambition: Heart's Desire, finished (sided with Beechwood)

Personality: A very kind and altruistic person. She is willing to take a lot of crap from people if it's directed at her and will often try to be understanding about what they may be going through to get to this point, but the moment that crap is directed at someone else she becomes a fierce defender of the other person. She prefers to settle things amicably and with words, but if push comes to shove she will not have a problem throwing hands. Has a very "motherly" aura to her, which is fitting because she is often in the company of urchins and even has her own orphanage. She prefers to give people the benefit of the doubt and to trust them, but that doesn't make her naive. She has had enough experience to have good instincts about people and sense when something is off. (it's why she is comfortable with her devil companion but not necessarily other devils)

Interests: Music (specializes in flute but dabbles in many), gardening and nature in general, biology and chemistry (bit of an interest in alchemy), archery, theater, reading

Name: The Brash Devil (real name Derek)

Referred to as: "You", "Devil", "Derek", "Doctor Rosewood's companion/Miss Rosewood's companion/The Doctor's companion"

Pronouns: He/him

Species: Devil

Age: The devil equivalent of a young adult

About: Most devils are known for being charismatic smooth talkers who, if you are not careful, will trick you into trading away your soul. That cannot be said of this one. He is loud, rude, could not convince the clouds to rain. Doesn't stop him from wanting respect from those around him, which is how supposedly he'd gotten himself in a situation of being stuck on the surface during the daytime. This need for validation is probably also why he tends to hang around urchins, who he finds to be more easily impressed than his fellow devils and easier to trick than grown adult humans. Although, ever since The Soft-Hearted Maven came to the Neath and began making a name for herself, The Brash Devil seems to be doing much better as well. Perhaps he has simply found new motivation to succeed?

Ambition: Light Fingers, incomplete

Personality: As stated before, he is loud, rude, blunt, not traditionally charismatic in the way a devil would need to be to convince someone to sell their soul. It isn't necessarily accurate to say he lacks any charm though. He has his own wit and humor aided by his brash and blunt nature, and if he likes you or not he is not afraid to let you know that right away. In some ways he is pretty honest, which is what drew Maven to him in the first place. Though despite this, there is something of a veil of irony and mockery in his speech that hides his sincere feelings. He feels more deeply than what is considered appropriate for a devil, and he sometimes tries to mask what he unconsciously sees as inadequacies. The Soft-Hearted Maven is one of the only people he feels comfortable letting that veil fall around.

Interests: Mischief and pranks, sharpshooting, hunting, fighting/sparring, the races, theater (prefers comedies), sometimes reading (has been learning to read English from Maven, who is a better teacher than him)
