Personality:

Grauen Kerze is delusional and passionate, a lethal combination. She believes that she can consume fear and that it makes her stronger. If any of her delusions are threatened she will fight ruthlessly to prove they are not delusions. She is a leering, cruel thing when crossed but rewards those who are loyal to her in her own odd way.

She has a strong penchant for kidnapping orphans and fires.


Backstory:

What is her real story? Who can really say?

She believes that she was born of the flame of a candle while the Grimm Brother's wrote their fairy tales. She fed off of the fear in the stories until she was able to take on a life of her own. The shadows on her coat show the story of their tales in lurid details.

(Hasn't happened yet) However, when she finally hears the story of "The Hanging Tree" she comes to "realize" (believes) that she is the girl Velia, wronged by some males, killed, and then brought back to life.

Eventually, she comes to accept that both stories are true and that she was reborn of flames.

[Nyx Queen of Darkness]

Grauen Kerze does not remember much of her early life, to her one day she simply existed. It is her belief that she was born of the flames of a candle that overlooked the works of the Brothers Grimm. She will defend this belief at all costs, and is not to be challenged.

Despite feeding like other soquilli, she also believes she feeds on fear. The tantalizing taste of terrorizing someone--human or soquilli, is a taste she can't give up. First, she stole a basket and named it Brutus, giving it a collar to symbolize it's belonging to her. He has become her protector and the only one that can stop her from going too far. He protects her against herself.

All of her life, she has been searching for books of lore, books that will allow the soquilli to read it and to twist tales into reality. However, upon her finding the books with a lowly foal named Avia, she discovered much to her chagrin that they won't open.

Sometime later, she encounters Horus and she is angered that he can, in fact, read the book and it's story and she cannot.

Now, she, Horus and Brutus travel together--but whispers have started, stirring something deep in her soul. Whispers of a a girl named Lydia, a curse, and a Hanging Tree...

She has yet to figure out what they mean.

Creatures of darkness always find each other. Grauen has long left bodies behind for the carrion fowl, and so it is no shock that she bonded with Nevermore. He is haunting intimidating figure who speaks one word only in the presence of others- "Nevermore". Hence his name.

Soon though two more crows flocked to Grauen who feeds her fowl friends well.

Canicus is a biting wretched creature that likes to pierce out a prey's eyes. He will murder anything that he is allowed to, for the sake of it's meat and the pure joy of the kill.


Decay on the other hand is a scratcher. She likes to inflict harm but not kill. She gets more joy at scratching and pecking than the other two birds and she enjoys worms, best of all.

Story of the/Behind the pumpkin:
This is my third pumpkin ever and only 2nd year doing it. This is based on the song that Katniss sings in The Hunger Games trilogy--specifically Mockingjay book. I picked this design because 1, I'm obsessed with Hunger Games. 2. I wanted to have something that would both relate to soquili AND to the books as I was hoping to enter the Mockingjay.net contest. Then I hit on the perfect Idea. Lament has been my dream soq for awhile and her tree is based on a legend I created around the song mentioned in Mockingjay. So I hope you love my depiction of combining my soquili dream soq with one of my favourite books!

It's about a man who's being hung for killing and he's telling his girl to meet him there. My pumpkin depicts her reaching for his hanging body and fufilling the lines from her asking her to come to him.

The Legend that I created for Lolly and I's soq. Mine based on The Hanging Tree.

Nyx Queen of Darkness

Lydia was young and impressionable when she met Lance—the dark, charming brother of her best friend, Velia. It wasn’t long before the young pair was seeking more and more time alone. They were both daydreaming of a “happily ever after”.

Lance came home, to where Velia and Lydia would be waiting for him. He knew something was wrong as soon as he came upon the place. The usually warm light of their home was dimmed, and as he called out his voice echoed blankly against the wall.

The horror met his eyes when he stepped him, the fresh smell of blood made him wretch. Lydia was bloody and unconscious, but Velia…his only living family, the most tender one he’d ever known was dead. She had been murdered.

Over the next few weeks, Lance, already interested in the darker arts, prepared his sister’s body for re-entry into this world so that she could rejoin them. Lydia healed though she was darker and more sullen—tortured. She would never be the same.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the

hanging tree.

It was over these weeks that they devised their plan of vengeance against three stallions that had attacked Lydia and murdered Velia.

On the darkest of nights, All Hallow’s Eve, Lance and Lydia crept through the dark—stealing into the homes of the three stallions and releasing their cursed souls from the homes of their body in bloody and cruel ways. The sounds of the stallions screams were just dying out when Lance and Lydia made it home.

The cave walls reflecting the soft candlelight, as Lydia went outside to gather more wood. Lance began the ceremony, calling forth his sister from death to rejoin the living. Her lid twitched, just as they invaded his cave.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the

hanging tree.


There had been witnesses who had seen Lance making his way back to the cave, and they had come to take him. It did not matter that he had done this of vengeance for his sister. Lydia came running as she heard the scuffle, but Lance yelled for her to flee.

That night they hung him.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run so we’d both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the

hanging tree.

Lydia sobbed long into the night. She did not know the way of the dark arts, so there was no way she could bring either Lance or Velia back. She was destined to a life without them. The thought was simply unbearable. She would find her freedom with him then.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Going back to their abandoned home, she picked up the wilted bouquet for the wedding they had never been able to have. Placing the veil over her hair, she made her way slowly back to him like the sound of a funeral march.

***

It was in the dawn that they discovered Lydia hanging beside Lance.

It is said that some how they made their way back to this world. They are neither alive nor truly dead. Their names forgotten as they wander looking for each other for eternity—known only by the names Voodoo and Lament.
