That which is wild
moves to its own law, always changing,
always hot, cheating death.
I learned early I was a cold girl.
Nothing more,
unyealding, fixed.
Unreachable, unchangeable.
A being like me wilts in the sun- leave me in my winter;
here I am powerful.

Before I go into anything else, I have one major rule; don’t like me? Block & move on. I’m tired of drama, of petty bs, & I’m tired of vague blogging. I’m here to have fun, just as you are. So please, I keep to myself & my friends, I ask you to do the same.
My blacklist is as follows: ❅ spiders, real life only ❅ needles, any kind ❅ smut to a large extent, any other nsfw is okay ❅ Daddy kink. This is a big one, & makes me highly uncomfortable to see. If you follow me & have posted it before, it’s likely I will not follow back. If you post it untagged, I will softblock for my own comfort. Secondly, I am of age, having turned 20 on July 3rd, 2018. Pretty much any NSFW is okay with me, save heavy gore & large degrees of smut. What do I mean by that? If every other thread you do is smut, it is highly unlikely I will follow. I am slightly sex-repulsed, mostly by visuals ( more specifically, gifs ). Memes relating to headcanons and world building are open for everyone to send. In fact, I welcome them! Please do not reblog my drabbles, as they are important to my portrayal, & mine alone. The exception to this is if your muse is mentioned in the post. As always, don’t powerplay or godmode. That’s rude & disrespectful to your partners.Multi-verse, multi-ship. This is, however, subject to change based on my comfort levels, & those of my muse.
On the subject of shipping - if I feel like you are fetishizing gay ships, I can & will block you. All muses, unless otherwise stated & cleared with the other mundane, are in seperate universes. No interactions will overlap unless previously plotted out. For my own comfort, I would much prefer if those who follow this blog are 18 or older. I'm wanting to take a darker turn in my writing, & some of the content from here on out, I do not feel comfortable having minors see. Those I have been following for some time may be exempt from this, but please be aware that I may softblock you.Please, please, please, for my comfort, & the comfort of all your followers, tag your NSFW. I don’t care if it’s under a read more. Tag it.
I am mutuals only. This means, if you like a starter call, send an in character meme, or reblog my opens & we are not mutuals, I can & will block you if you’re a repeat offender. Once & twice, I shall give warnings. Three times, I will softblock for my comfort. Please don't reblog face claim pictures from me, especially those of Aya Shalkar. I spent quite a long time finding a model who I felt fit Aizhan in both looks & ethnicity, & I'd appreciate it if these were reblogged from the source. I do not mind in the slightest if someone has the same face claim as me ( & let's be honest, Aya is a gorgeous woman ), my only issue resides in being used as a resource & not a roleplayer.Do not, I repeat, do not send me hate mail. It gets you nowhere with me, & I will sooner block your IP than answer it. Constructive critique is very welcome, but not senseless hate.
I’m sorry, but if you're posting a lot of self-deprecating things, I will unfollow. These make me very, very uncomfortable, & I come here for a release. If you post a lot of drama without cause, I will unfollow. If you bring your argument with someone public without just cause, I will unfollow. I will also unfollow after an extended period of absence ( two weeks to a month ) without a hiatus notice. If you ever come back, give me a little nudge, & I'll refollow! If you like a particular ask reply, please turn it into a thread, in a new post. This isn’t really a rule, more of a request, & isn’t to keep a tidy dash. It does cause anxiety for me, as these posts are harder to keep cut and clean.& finally, you may call me Cerys or Cez. I'm a twenty year old nerd who uses they / them pronouns ( please refrain from using any others unless you are very close to me ), & have been on Tumblr off & on for some time. My other blogs you're more than welcome to ask for the urls of.
Profile.
Headcanons.
History.
Headcanon 001, eyes; Aizhan’s eyes are a rather piercing blue, framed by dark lashes. The color, combined with the pallor of her skin against the deep black of her hair, serves to give her an almost unreal appearance; she looks more like a doll or a sculpture than a living being. Perhaps this is fitting, given the way she came to be. She is far from what most would consider ‘natural’ by any means, & her demeanor furthers this thought. She can have moments of a childlike curiosity, followed by periods of seriousness that are the complete opposite. This is all evident in her eyes. While she has an impressive poker face, her eyes are very expressive, & often they give away how she truly feels about anything.
Headcanon 002, aura and soul viewing; Being a daughter of Mateora ( or, prehaps more accurately, having a piece of Mateora's soul ), the god of death in Ionope, has granted Aizhan the particular talent of soul viewing. This ability grants her access to the spiritual plane where, for a short time as it can be very tiring & disorienting, she can see the auras surrounding the beings who have a soul. This also gives her the faint ability to see someone’s emotional state, unless they are so emotional that their aura is a mess of too many colors to distinguish them, or have learned to mask their aura. This, of course, only applies to beings with souls, & those without can be very jarring to her, as she has no real way of being sure what they’re feeling.
Headcanon 003, home world & people; The land graced by the gentle touch of the Water Goddess, Aizhan, is a place of near constant winter. The residents of her home are more often than not in close knit communities, far from each other, & with an unspoken rule that the family comes first. The people say little, but are far better listeners, & are more than content to stay in near silence with a small group, & enjoy a sense of peace above all. Their clothing is often thick fabrics with muted colors, but intricate patterns, & their homes are built to last generation after generation. Unlike most peoples of Ionope, save Otoch Kab, those of Ha’Kab have a close relationship with their goddess, who can often be found traveling from community to community when not at Council.
Though large groups of wildlife are few & far between, the people have come to be excellent trackers; however, they live off imports from the sister lands for most of the year. The weather lets up for a short time near the middle of the year, giving a small window of time for easy travel for communication with those outside their villages.
There's a simplicity in the beginning of the end. It comes softly, almost silently, with the ripples it causes ghosting the surface of the waters. Gradually, as they move further, they begin to become waves. Waves that, once you see them, have already swallowed you whole. Such was the fate of the lands of Ionope. To say the world went silently & without a fight, however, would be a grievous misinterpretation. In fact, to say that the screams would haunt Aizhan for the remainder of her days would be a much more accurate description.
To fully understand the Collision, one must know who Aizhan is first. Aizhan was created as the previous goddess of water met her demise from an illness which plagued her land, Ha'Kab, which was one of the five distinct continents in the world of Ionope. This goddess, Voda, was ostracized by her own siblings, who feared for their own lands, & subsequently, their people. For, alongside ruling over a single scientific element, they were worshiped by the race they had created. & rightly so, in their eyes, for they were prideful & arrogant. Voda, driven out by her family, trekked through the whispering winds, carrying an unfamiliar icy chill so steadily through her. Following a path her feet, but not her memory, knew, she made her way through the forests of her home, to the foot of a mountain at the very edge of the continent. There, a warm light enveloped her, & she smiled. For, there at the edge of the trees, stood Mateora, Death themself. They offered a faint smile back, then held out a thin hand, a silent beckoning, which Voda grasped seemingly without hesitation. Once she did so, a small sliver of light left both the beings, pooling onto the icy ground. With a nod, silent as they so often were, Mateora smiled again, & the two left to find their way up the mountain. That was when the first snow began to fall. As the flakes became heavier, the pool of light, once faint, grew stronger, & began to take another form. As it shimmered & rippled, it took on the form of a young woman, her eyes a bright blue & hair, long & inky black, down to her knees. Her frame was willowy, almost frail in appearance, & she wore no garments. Not having met another being, she saw no shame in this. She had no name, nor did she find a need for one. All she knew was that, in this forest of endless snow, she was free. Now, in the surrounding villages, supplies were running short, & so, the people who inhabited them began to search further & further into the trees for food. After what felt to be an eternity, several generations passing, the humans stumbled upon the woman. They had almost missed her; her hair caught in branches and skin a ghostly pallor, she seemed a part of the trees. It wasn’t until she waved, a faint, chiming, bell-like laugh echoing through the trees, that the hunters noticed her. After several long minutes of them asking the woman questions, receiving no answer save a tilt of the head or a bemused raise of brow, they turned to leave. They had their spoils, & needed to return home to their families. They didn’t notice the woman following them. She continued in their footsteps until the edge of their village, where she hesitated for a mere moment. When she did, one of the hunters glanced back to see her near the gates. Knowing she'd been spotted, she began to back away into the trees once more, almost fearful, but the man raised a hand in her direction. Something told them both that the other wasn’t a threat, & the woman was welcomed into the village. She was given clothing & daily tasks, & was treated as just any other member of their society. But she never said a word. She also noticed, soon after becoming accustomed to her new life & its restrictions, that she had someone trailing her movements most days. When she'd turn her head back, she’d see a flash of red ribbons as a young girl ducked behind a building or crate. She'd smile, shake her head, & continue on with her day. This went on for several months, & all the while, something whispered to the woman to make her way past the ridge surrounding the forest. On to the cities, to warmer lands, where it was said the Goddess & her chosen lived. She never entertained this thought for very long, but it became a more frequent one as time passed. Late one evening, a call went though the village that one of the women was going into labor, & many, including the strange, silent woman, rushed to help. Remembering her own creation, she was confused at first, & then, realization went through her like a hot blade. She wasn't one of these humans. She didn’t belong here. It was a sad realization, & yet one coupled with relief. Something, that small whisper, had been telling her where she belonged, & so, when the first cries of the newborn began, with a smile, she made her way out through the gates of the village, & then on to the ridge. Hearing a second set of steps, she turns back to see a small girl, red ribbons tying back her curly hair. The woman leans down as the girl holds out a hand, & then a similar red ribbon is tied around her wrist. "I’ll miss you, Aizhan," says the girl with a toothy smile. That was when, mirroring the girl's smile, Aizhan says her first words, her voice uncertain at first, soft so that only the two of them would hear. "Don't worry. We’ll meet again someday." The girl's smile grows to a beam, & she nods once before running back to her home. Aizhan's smile softens, & she too turns in the direction of her home. Her arrival is greeted with confusion by the guards of the palace, but then Nym, the god of aether, makes their way to the grand doors to see what the commotion is about. Now, as Nym has rule over the heavens as a whole; upon seeing Aizhan, they knew just who she was. Calling the guards off, they waved to the young goddess to make her way inside. She's guided through the palace to the meeting hall at the center, where the other gods had come together to discuss how to go about the loss of their sister. Seeing Aizhan & Nym, the other three begin to question their sibling, who then introduces Aizhan as her true self. Goddess of Winter, Daughter of Water & Death.
Canon.
The wind whistled a lullaby kissing her goodbye ; Main
Following the destruction of their home, in a last, desperate effort to save their family, Nym casts their siblings through gates through space. They're saved, but separated from one another, & left to their own devices in new & unfamiliar lands. Aizhan is sent to the world of Earth, & she manages to quickly acclimate herself to her new surroundings. Opening a bookshop in a quiet corner of an otherwise busy city, she makes a modest living for herself, & for the most part, stays out of trouble.AU.
No escape the Ice Queen's rage ; Scrios' follower
Instead of pushing aside the words of her uncle, Aizhan listens. Taking his teachings to heart, she morphs, from a once kind & gentle goddess, to a being of cruelty. Harsh & unforgiving, she seeks out her siblings, hoping to finish what Scrios started.
Heaven help anyone who stands in her way.
Crossover.
That which is wild moves to its own law ; Versus XIII
The betrayal the Glacian had felt when the young, too young, Lunafreya called upon her, only to have the girl's father launch an attack upon her, had echoed through to her descendants. The Niyazov line had distanced themselves from their cousins, the Fleuret's, some centuries before, moving from the vibrant capitol of Tenebrae and swearing off positions of power to grow closer to their patron. The tie is severed completely when Shiva dies.
The phantom pains the young Aizhan had felt, ripping through her body as Shiva fell, had made her call out to the Glacian, pleading with her to leave the body she'd inhabited for millennia. She knew what the consequences of such a request would be, but she never hesitated.
Aizhan is forced further into hiding upon becoming a host for Shiva, and her abilities as a messenger grew all the more prominent as time wore on. She stopped aging, she never felt cold, and, with coaching from Shiva, could manipulate the world around her.
She knew she was being hunted. But she was ready for the Empire when they'd come.

Hi, hello !! My name's Cerys but you can also call me Cez! I'm 20 years old and agender, so please only use they / them pronouns when talking about me. I don't mind a few slip ups, though ! A few things you need to know about me are that I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis ( which means that, when a flare up occurs, my body's immune system mistakes my own tissue as foreign matter and attacks it ) which comes and goes at random, along with depression and anxiety. I'm working on ways to cope with all of them, so don't worry !
I try to be pretty friendly, so don't worry about popping in to say hello ! I look forward to getting to know you !
