History

Concerning antecedental events:

Various cataclysms occurred, impacting populations as time passed.

This resulted in considerable fear/anger/else, beyond direct fact.

At some duration, individuals began appearing.

Started off in a dubious manner; as around a couple decades went by, a number of encounters intermittently occurred during that span. Discourse that resulted from them was overall brief due to uncertainty, and by extent did not result beyond the same. Eventually, outward necessity became relevant as fact; indecision causing hesitance. Instead of choosing to not risk themselves with someone who appeared to need assistance, there was an effort to do otherwise. A question was attempted toward the other, a limp and else evident.

One thing led to another following a brief exchange. While an eventual offer to walk with him to the next town over, that nothing else happened, was met with misgiving: he could not exactly turn that notion down, risk that otherwise presented itself obvious. Hours and a considerable distance passed after, both keeping a relative length from each other out of distrust: but capability for discussion still present.

As the town gate was reached, they paused: further indecision occurring. What was asked, then, had conflict to it: the discussion that occurred earlier had not left them again unaffected by doubt. Unable to ignore earlier fact and other contexts, a request for consideration in return was not disregarded. Despite relative uncertainty on both sides; discourse over relevant matters occurred a couple days later between themselves, the physician, and a council. As it was decided, they were allowed to take on work there, but under the instruction of the person they had aided: inexplicable occurrences not too unheard of, and quandary for what to attempt otherwise existent.

In that manner, efforts to learn the trade continued for a while, at least until gaining enough sense of things that they were able to manage. It would be that variance; effort to uphold the interests of the people around them; that would gradually prove to be a cost. While demands, presented through work and travel, were in various regards exacting; this was not something that would remain indefinite; other contexts variously and eventually realised through overall efforts.

While the scenery would have remained the same, the people would not. Eventually, they found it more opportune to move forward.

In a mountain grove, a series of discussions occurred, two figures keeping distance from each other until a decision was reached. For a while, one remained until indecision turned into inquiry.

How events might progress is uncertain.

Trivia

Features elements of various legends concerning raven being both warning signs and guard against cataclysms: while loosely in themes.

Can be described as 'living memory' or a culmination of memory/knowledge. What was lost did not remain missing, despite people passing. Suffering instigated that culmination; may be considered a 'response' by extent.

If a culmination of memory/knowledge could take 'shape', there would be no material to that space, which would probably adhere to conscious frameworks.

Immaterial. Exists as an absence of matter, appearance occasionally changing to respond to necessity. This is limited to a dual alternation.

Stands around 5'5 normally. This is an average height during time frames preceding the 1600s. Famine and food shortages caused a lack of nutrition, resulting in a height decrease during the 1600s.

Irises and pupils are absent, eyes however universal. Irises are defining and individuals are undefined at relative basis. A lack of both irises and pupils further correlates to multiple factors. Ambiguity, visual capacity, luminance, and other aspects have relevance.

May have conflicted vision in lighter settings through being more capable of perceiving shapes in dim locations than in effulgent ones. Their eyes involve scotopic vision and can become luminant. This can extend to the rest of their appearance, although a factor which can be considerably more exacting depending on the duration utilised.

Appearance was 'automatic', but in the sense that coherence caused self-definition. Everything known was what the self consisted of and structural fact resulted in that manner.

The Renaissance was a 'bridge' between 'normalcy' and the 'fantastical'. Not everything was viewed as uncertain. With the importance of laws and records only involving names, a kind of anonymity existed.

They did not have a name at first, not needing one.

Most people do not think in third person. While traveling before then, there was ‘only the self and others perceived’.

Names are limited to social pretexts. Before photography there were only paintings, which would mean difficulty for visual details to follow with awareness. Any official record of their own person would not involve images, instead written designation.

There are likely no existing visual records of how they appeared in person. If any paintings were made of themselves or correlating individuals, relevant works would be long missing, or may be viewed as an abstract work of the time.

Came into existence about 1610, somewhere near Verona Italy. Hawthorn is a May-June blooming flower, while it smells like decaying material, or meat. Alongside that fact, the species has medicinal contexts that were well-recognised historically. That aspect might have been one of the first few things evident, both as scenery and as medicinal context.

A sense of consciousness and coherency gained on itself during a rapid transition into existence. Confusion and scrutiny occurred shortly after. The surroundings were given more thought as awareness drifted beyond given fact. Familiarity and unfamiliarity interspacing was one basis for wariness. Although parts of the scenery were recognised, the terrain was otherwise unknown.

They started with a neutral caution, which gained depth as time and distance passed. Although speaking to others from a distance on occasion, what was perceived during the years spent adrift did not always occur without conflict.

Later into early timeframes; around 1618; supporting others became more of a focus, meaning a maintained distance or an effort to keep someone from dying on occasion. The latter decision was not always futile, not all wounds lethal. Those coherent during an encounter who relayed accounts were often viewed with partial skepticism when returning, or when otherwise found.

The caladrius and hercinia were reported to be luminous, the former historically known for salutary benefit and the latter acting as a guide and beacon for lost travelers around forests. That reports exist attest to successes.

In relative realism, battlefields might have correlated to individual appearances, being places of extremism. This further correlates to raven having an association with bloodshed and loss. Being in the thick of situations, it is likely individuals either left abruptly or made an effort toward the side.

Individuals aiming for those with the most ailments means potential futility, which can correlate to blame for given deaths. Trying to prevent someone from dying might not always work.

By helping people near battlefields, it is likely that individuals have been noted by people. Whether unable to hear arrow fire, or being unwilling to leave someone, there is a chance of worse.

Capability to discern ailments and attempt against complications can be seen as useful, including in earlier ages where there were no means to read body processes.

Multiple medieval texts involved the caladrius directly. Encrypted language existed in writing and reports. Although depicted as avian, that might not have been constant. 'White plumage' equates to 'white cloth' essentially. Cloth shade was important historically, and it would make sense that in order to 'hide' fact and maintain secrecy for other purposes, there would be deliberate artifice in wording. It is not ideal but correlates to archaic viewpoint.

Individuals were occasionally coerced or seized and held against their will. Abuse would likely not have been relevant, though abduction is still malignant, and with thought given to other factors that may have resulted. Individually, not all may have survived manipulation and neglect.

In most chance, individuals were treated with 'regard' (technically imprisoned until needed), but by extent forced to visit ailing persons when applicable. Mental deterioration can happen when restricted to a space for long durations. Being 'acquiescent' can equate to being 'broken', technically. This lacks relevance to Lilium, but falls within relative understanding through earlier research.

In older ages, individuals may have been mistaken for hermits, monks, or travelling plague physicians if seen around forests. In more modern settings, being overt is typically refrained from for a variety of reasons; experience bringing habit.

Raven were believed to be coherent, essentially 'drifting souls' left behind following death. This leads to other relevancies: guarding ('raven'), guiding ('hercinia'), mending ('caladrius'), terms varying but basis not.

The range that awareness consists of extends about two yards in length. Anything beyond that may be indiscernible. Further, only if nearby another individual can they register activity complexly. This echoes the 'caladrius' component where an individual could tell if a person was going to survive. If death would occur, there was a 'look away'. This may correlate idiomatically to a cease of efforts.

Relevant passive decision may correlate to expedience for overall welfare, if not self-defensive purposes. There was nothing that could happen against loss on occasion.

The term "keeping watch" where those gone are concerned has different meaning, memories and knowledge having carried over. While remaining at a distance from populations generally, individuals seem to make an effort where they can to warn others of risks. Whether that risk is other people or something further depends on the situation.

Individuals may have acted as a sort of sentinel along varying locatives in knowing if something strange came along. If a factor is biological or 'flesh', that would have been often apparent.

In forests, obscurity makes it more difficult for most to tell if something is lurking, which correlates to telling others to hurry or leave.

In medieval and Renaissance belief, disease was possibly caused by 'bad air', which infected those exposed to relevant environments. This indirectly relates: malignant factors are warded off.

When smaller-scale, distance can be crossed more easily through flight; ambient factors rapidly picked up and annulled. Individuals subsist off metaphysical contexts, complications gradually offset through that means. This is a passive factor, and would not be apparent except for capability where relative awareness is concerned. They most likely do not realise this, while an aspect mutual in benefit.

May stand as owl-like in flight: silent. If not for clothing; habit, tunic, trousers, wooden-soled shoes; would likely be indiscernible audibly. Attire is very similar to that of historic Premonstratensian persons, which coincides with other elements.

Often has a small prayer box with them, if not vials of herbal powder or infusions. The box itself is likely silver in basis, as the metal does not oxidise as visibly. Silver is an antiseptic, aside from a traditional means of defense. In emergencies; might use it to clear water of microbes.

Adeste Fideles is a preferred Christmas hymn. Likely knows other hymns; despite not frequenting them. Kyrie Eleison or Gloria in excelsis Deo is something hummed potentially while cooking or baking. This serves as a vocal timer; prayers were used for that historically. Other songs might be relevant similarly if knowing the lyrics well enough. A free-form version of something more recent could be occasional.

Knows how to play the viol, viola, and harpsichord to an extent, but understanding of songs is overall limited to certain festival pieces.

As speech is articulate, may have known numerous hymns initially. Being consistent may extend to overall speech in that much in terms of communication is dependent on what is inherently understood. Can be melodic but likes speaking directly better. May turn lyrical poetry into a sort of nocturne or aubade when alone; lyrical poetry historically written to be set to music even without actual instrumental basis.

May leave notes at certain locations for others, as that can be easier as a means to communicate. This happens more often when leaving the flat.

Due to air being a focus minutely in that oxygen is inadvertently acquired and issued out by relative lack of necessity, their voice is subtle. This can cause a 'spectral' effect in some situations. They often find it slightly hard to speak through general limitations.

Initially had a vocal tone that alternated depending on perspective, but that narrowed in lacking certainty otherwise. It has changed over the years spent existing, from 'masculine' to 'feminine'.

'Can' sound male or female, which is significant as male and female choirs might have been similarly on equal basis, following the context of male and female practitioners in the Premonstratensian orders being viewed as equal socially within those groups, according to research.

Can be considered 'beyond human' and related requisites, but despite separation from necessity does not seem to have an opinion of their own person in comparison to others. That does not have much grounding either on an overall scale due to given factors.

Organs as well as other features appear to be absent. Lacking lungs, breathing is not necessary. Oxygen is expelled from where their mouth would be, relating to unconsciousness.

Can fly due to being 'solid' and lightweight further, but as with anything, advantages and disadvantages exist to being smaller scale.

The space they occupy is dual-oriented, but they 'physiologically' are very similar to what they appear to be.

Translucent in dim spaces aside from clothing, which can contribute to a further 'spectral' effect. An evident appearance is otherwise typically retained due to collecting light to an extent. There is a gradual shift in appearance depending on the surrounding ambiance.

Evidently lacks an umbilicus due to not having been technically 'born' in the typical sense. This is only apparent through passing conversation, decorum and divides consistent.

Lacking bones further, bone structure appears to be absent regarding anatomical features.

Could be described as around 19 to early 20s in structure, which correlates to typical age of novitiates in most ecclesial orders, according to historic limitations on the age of applicants.

Nothing exists that is 'materialistic': no hunger, pain, else. They wonder about differences, but beyond that, most likely do not find issue. A lot is understood indirectly, which seems like it would be enough. Lacks some certainty in that regard; usually without confidence and inclination for relevant discussion.

The mind is composed of random thoughts/neurons/else that form a cohesive consciousness. It is not too different for things left behind; many ecclesial persons were killed over a period of 131 years.

Their current existence is unlike what the Reformation featured: helplessness. The time frame itself involved many wars that claimed an estimated maximum 15 million people.

Raven are believed to be the souls of deceased persons, and flight is an escape/tied to departure. Preserving the self equates to preserving what is important.

Although unable to access recollection, as doing so would break seity, individuals are the sum of the knowledge and recollections of people who passed, preserving the fact of those who died.

As 'a person is the sum of recollections', there can be a collective basis in terms of many people, which correlates to other rhetoric at least. Further chronicling can occur through awareness, along with individuals keeping matters stable ambiently through transience.

Self-interest correlates to outer factors as basis does to framework. It is itself significant that caladrius and hercinia, having others' interests in mind, were documented around the time that devastation was occurring.

Individuals were 'born' from that extensive occurrence, setting things into balance to some extent. “In the absence of life, life resulted” speaks about a cycle.

Their whole 'body' is thought/memory/tone; anything by far expended/lost means a lot missing. At the same time: anything fatal would be the same as equivalent injury: would vanish. Being conscious, limits exist. Without a body, only the mind is present. Impediments that may hinder thought and memory are lacking.

While agender, feels better seeming 'female'; too much having happened while appearing 'male'. Separating past and present is a current effort. Does not want to mix either, valuing both.

A lot realistically would have happened that would not be devalued or forgotten overall; the people met caused mnemonic factors: that being relative memory. That may be why the end of relevant attire is worn: memory of importance exists in that decisions were made that meant a lot long-term.

Has a kind of 'empathy sense'; metaphysical contexts within the range of a couple yards are picked up passively, registered, and nulled.

As matter and 'matter' disperses through decomposition, states of dormancy and activity exist variously. Regardless of situation, factors are picked up and annulled, repurposed briefly to cloth and other material by individuals. By extent, dormancy is maintained longer than it might be otherwise.

As contexts are obtained, flashes of them exist and are registered briefly. This awareness fades quickly, a process which can blockade some psychological risk, although factors are still remembered in-echo.

Pain, nausea, and other sensory contexts are applicable to this awareness; only if someone is alive and existent can they be apparent. A relative degree of accuracy for designating illnesses or disorders may exist, if understanding what something involves.

What does not fall into the 'living' category may be overlooked more readily, which is also reason for caution in their case: harm possible despite dubiousness.

That people and other individuals are evident is not completely a benefit. It is likely that relevant quandaries became apparent early on. Would not speak to someone if nearby; usually. On the streets, others were apparent overall. This made avoiding individuals easier, which was occasionally advantageous. Knowing where an individual is, along with their state of being, can be intrusive. What could be done with that information is varied.

May attempt to identify what ailments exist via relevant symptoms and signs; pain, nausea, else as examples, when relevant to a situation. Distance is a main determinant in this regard: accuracy waning depending on that factor.

Parasites may be evident depending on the type and scale. Despite evidency this is not often mentioned and further not usually considered unless an infestation becomes too much. May have given other people herbs and other compounds for that purpose, without telling them it was exactly why. Contexts can overlap in that regard in that certain species and materials directly kill and flush out parasites.

Chemical and energy-based elements lack influence. Acid, fire, electricity, and other factors are withstood. Realistically would avoid relevant hazards for various reasons, clothing and items perishable.

Being impervious to energy and chemical alteration, presumptively could navigate a thunderstorm or conflagration well.

Surgery was a last resort historically, diet and rest advocated in awareness of complications that extremity can bring. That water disperses and aseptic elements exist would not be a fact viewed without unease, through self-awareness and relative understanding along with experience.

Does not smell like anything but can pick up aromas if clothing is influenced.

Depending on ambient factors, may feel like the surrounding temperature if made contact with. Lacks skin and biological factors and by extent can be considered immaterial. As there is nothing physical to adhere to, water and other ambient factors may not remain.

Matter is kept outside of their 'occupied space' and nothing is generally lost either. Inherent divides exist between the self and outer factors, relating to various capabilities and other aspects.

Can be physically hurt, which is a basis for cognitive detriment. Recent recollections may not be as situated as older cognition and may vanish depending on the degree of harm. If something lacks magnitude, relevant memory likely becomes and remains hazy. Relative injury may be eventually forgotten and 'fade', but anything that has magnitude may not 'heal'.

Would not be able to 'recover' a limb or anything relatedly severe, but wounds may fade eventually. When unconscious, this happens faster, mentality a basis for a considerable amount. The severity of harm and loss directly correlates to loss in recollection and coherency. With how much capability relates to recollection, this is detrimental on various levels.

If severely harmed, may be confused or disoriented to an extent. In some possibility may not recognise present contexts, recollection having receded to a relative degree. Wariness of surroundings and unease toward other persons would be more prevalent similarly. Speech would also be more archaic; if not mostly Latin, as would be the worst-case.

Harm has had relevance on occasion, which accounts for relative understanding in that regard. Lacking blood themselves, they seem aware that there are no organs to their system either. To that degree, they do not consider themselves biological or chemical, and neither do others in some chance. What has been forgotten by extent of harm varies, uncertain as they do not remember what may have been lost.

Cannot eat, drink, smell, or make an impact by far in regard to leaving traces. This can help in being unobtrusive. Despite being unable to relate to physical necessities, tries, having relative understanding of others regardless.

Not malignant; even with dubiousness. Empathy is a norm; although they may keep away from someone short or long-term if threatened or attacked in some manner.

Typically only goes around in the early morning or later into the night when relevant. This is not different from earlier chronologies. Being attacked always has risk, meaning that defenses are necessary as well.

Angitia advised them to carry a defense; which would not be unlike earlier time frames; but they have not yet had reason to use anything adhered to.

A newer phone is kept in their possession, but this is not often used, gloves necessary for the screen interface. Tends more toward a laptop and other computers for the ease that instead provides.

Does not need a weapon in some cases, inherently features a means toward self-preservation. Digit-based features may relatively lengthen and grow sharper, this a defense-response and tied to mental state. If ever becoming relevant, in most chance they would be in a significantly harsh or threatening situation, fear/panic having taken precedence. Despite this, would in most chance not make an attempt toward injury, instead keeping distance as much as viable.

Historically, surgery was a last resort, which echoes unconscious response toward self-defense. Conflict is averted from overall: does not like causing pain, yet not everything is likely to be kept from. Could reach into an individual system and pull out a vital organ, whether for preservational purposes or for less beneficial motives.

Able to fabricate cloth, which tends to remain mostly uniform by basis of unconscious mentality. Feathers lengthen and 'convert' into cloth, melding together into structural coherency. These 'detach' rapidly, leaving loose hanging articles that can be discarded or utilised. This takes a lot of energy, meaning that an attempt to stand there occurs for some moments after.

This can be interpreted to explain why hercinia and caladrius were described as 'white-plumed' in medieval and later texts. The linen may be white by default, which has significance to writings that might have focused on cloth shade, with the importance to that historically.

Cloth was expensive in earlier time frames, which makes relative capability beneficial in multiple senses. The material eventually vanishes, although light cloth and other shades were archaically valuable, which can lead to correlation in terms of monetary benefit.

Capability indirectly parallels certain myths, notably the 'crane wife' and 'swan maiden'. Neither were idealised. Both narratives involve a loss of some aspect of the self, whether by removing innate structure for outer interests or capability being harmfully stolen.

Linen, aside from clothing, was historically used as material for bandages and gauze, the antibacterial properties it featured not overlooked in earlier time frames. Being made from flax, it could be considered to have been relatively easier to obtain than other woven fabric during medieval and later durations, and to that extent was frequently used as clothing for that reason and others, by many persons.

Transitions between states may cause unconscious changes in cloth shade, which can stem from perceived direness to a situation: whether self or other-based. This transition is typically from white (selfless/risk-oriented) to lilac, dimmer (guarded/deterrent) shades absent or far gone as a context.

Uncomplicated articles are generally all that are possible: and that has a considerable self-cost as well. Everything is limited; meaning they stay how they are overall, for self-guard. Other clothing may be used at times. That allows more variety beyond a monastic or ecclesial habit and related wear, while it can be a hindrance concerning capability.

Has a tail. This is small and usually without feathers. In contemporary terms, they could be called 'anthro' in some cases. If adhering to a more conspicuous appearance long enough, feathers may become evident around their person, the length and width differing depending on structural region. As of cloth, if shortened or removed, these may shortly or abruptly vanish once separate.

Prefers having more cover than less. Aside from the divides this causes, further contexts are addressed by decorum. If bypassing reserves, would most likely register activity/physiology too in-depth, which is most likely uncomfortable on a few levels for them. May move past aversions if necessary; holding a wrist to check pulse enough to more accurately discern somatic stability.

Coma-afflicted persons would be apparent in most chance as that is not an absence of activity. Undead/etc individuals with a biological system would be apparent as well. There yet would be an ‘oddness’ to them.

In the limited scope awareness encompasses, anyone already dead may be overlooked or bypassed, nothing evident or possible, while unlikely to be often relevant in present time frames.

Reserve as a habit gained on itself over time through various factors; unless there was reason to warn others of something or someone, uncertainty and related lack of basis for concern would mean that they remain 'silent' most of the time about contexts (if aware of things; a number of factors possibly making that null).

If actually saying something in a dangerous situation, in some possibility it may already be too late.

Would be better around a 'search and recovery' sort of context in terms of forewarning: while unlikely unless someone was lost. Capacity for flight and traveling swiftly adds to potential.

Rescinds cloth upon reversion to a smaller state, the fabric disintegrating rapidly. Flight is often a norm following this; which allows for relative chance at averting from harm, if valid to a situation.

May repurpose resultant attire. Aside from the thread used, fabric eventually disappears; which can be advantageous in various senses. Cloth can be used as bandages/gauze; this also fades when accurate, leaving only dried blood behind. Through use of scissors, blades or otherwise inherent features, strips are occasionally removed from the hem of their habit for use as bandaging or further purposes.

Most likely would try to fly off if followed long enough; which could occur even if utilising alternative wear. Leaving behind given articles would be faulty but necessity might take precedence.

When not ‘humanoid’, gender roles do not apply. Inwardly, they are just themselves. When not alone, advantages and disadvantages to appearance aside, perspectives exist.

Individuals are inherently solitary but observant.

With terrain being considerable, others may have been passed by. Lilium most likely did not recognise individuals as relevant.

Most are nondescript; which is beneficial and not.

There are likely more than apparent, if very scattered and transient. A balance is achieved through numbers and mobility. Although decreasing, as of everything, that is still an offset. Not considerable, but enough.

Even if aware, Lilium cannot advocate for others by extent.

Keeps a garden, when viable, for herbs and flowers. These are often utilised for decoctions and further medicinal products. There is a focus on herbalism for the most part, other methods not as innocuous. Hyssop, centaury, lilac, and yarrow are highlyvalued herbs. Herbalism was a highly valued field historically, more with the revival of older procedures; there was less of a demand for more dubious methods, and potential to practice without resorting to related means.

Herbalism, medicine, anatomy, and other fields can relate to practices, which are used in helping others with activity.

Deaf; able to read wording to an extent. Knows a variety of sign language: Italian sign language, LIS, or 'Lingua dei Segni Italiana'.

LIS initially stemmed from LSF, or 'Langue des Signes Française' in the 1700s through the scholar Tommaso Silvestri transferring the language system to Italy for the benefit of deaf persons.

Although capable of interacting with the surroundings regardless of appearance, having hands and digits is more beneficial in terms of capability than not.

Physiological differences or variations in anatomical factors that others possess are not disregarded. Most are however met neutrally. Did not learn negative bias initially and as time passed, which correlates to other historical musts.

Despite external impartiality, inquiry about their own structural ranges or related contexts may typically result in avertation of some kind. Assumptions by others are often not contradicted or confirmed but rather let past.

Relevant communication is utilised when necessary, although verbal or gestured sociality is evidently tiring if long in duration due to the comprehension that reading spoken word requires.

Cannot use magick and cannot be considered arcane in basis or direction. Wary of arcane fields, which may not be perceived as necessarily ideal through intermittent discourse between themselves and others.

Can lie and may do so purposefully. Fault however can exist more in the omission of truth, aside from downplaying self-interests.

Maintaining a degree of transparency is typically easier as, although they can minutely discern falsities through physiological changes, the complications that result from lack of understanding on an individual basis make matters more difficult for themself and others.

Inherent detachment reflects on contexts, raven being distant from populaces, which parallels relevant individuals, although other factors can have relevance to that behaviour.

Occasionally was called 'caladrius' and 'hercinia' by various persons, but those terms lacked meaning at first. Study to some extent overturned that, leading to other questions that were disregarded given necessity and lack of evident fact.

In historic Italy, women were dependent on male relatives socially. Navigation was possible without fear of consequence. They supported each other on multiple levels, being able to 'play the system' in regard to clothing laws and general ease. While around Vieri, they were able to frequent more feminine wear, which bolstered not-inaccurate familial connection and relative indifference. Being legally written as 'male', that would have not been seen well. Crossdressing was barred, and fines along with court hearings had detriment.

Frequented a few taverns on occasion, but mostly kept to the backdrop. Watching contests occur was a partial focus; the stornello and other antics often occurring when a location was crowded. A few lines have been recorded from that time frame that stand out for one reason or another.

The Infiorata festival, which started in 1625, is something looked forward to when applicable; not every city or town having charge of the event.

Tried to adhere to practices despite not being religious themselves, not having been instilled with beliefs initially. Italy was historically religious, despite the church having otherwise lost power due to the advent of science as a driving force, and they likely visited churches on occasion.

Prayers were often used for patients who were dying. Priests were for persons not afflicted, being needed for other purposes, and plague physicians served as a stand-in to disallow spread. Being constantly in quarantine by city or town mandate, they likely could not go to sessions that often.

Aside from herbs, plants, and other compounds meant to strengthen biological systems, may have kept leeches and fed them periodically.

The storm-prediction factor to leeches may have been noted through sudden bursts in activity, if only recognised in passing.

Being alone in quarantine between district visits, their attention would have gone to working and studying rather than being idle.

The iconic 'plague uniform' was introduced and made 'mandatory' around 1619. It was adhered to by extent. When going around as a physician, by city contract, the mask often used would have made nature obscured. Disease can be spread through other means inadvertently; cloth and further contexts being a vectoral basis. Even without understanding things, as no one else generally did either, procedures have importance; that necessary for work and overall safety. Illness where the self is concerned is uncertain, and others are/were a must to consider as well.

Despite misgivings, doubt and unease potentially interspacing decisions: efforts often continued regardless of a person's stability. After enough times of registering someone 'disappear'; by extent of overall contexts having disconnected tonally from that and other factors; attempts centred more around the interests of others than self-based sorts; which can have relative fault.

Despite lacking sensory depth, still technically 'felt' what it was like to die; that disappearance tearing away at mental security. The effort put into trying to 'save' others, futilely, was a burden that might have been an end, if not eventually turned from.

In relevant historic ranges, academics existed that were encompassing on a variety of subjects. They attended a university somewhere for a duration, the classes paid for focusing on philosophy, botany, anatomy, and related fields. Although not very social, study and the surrounding ambience often a focus, they went beyond gardens and library corners on occasion, having a few friends. During that chronological basis it would have been unlawful to go against someone; more with the fact that they were not out of place. While viewed with uncertainty in some chance, misgiving was not acted upon.

They graduated from Padua around 1635. Their name, as it was at the time, was stored in alumni records.

Experienced multiple events historically. Relevant conflict kept them at a distance, except in keeping at least a few persons from expiring.

During both major world wars, the gunfire, bombs, and other weaponry were a deterrence. Soldiers were avoided and those without uniforms were met with neutrality.

Although differences in uniforms had evidence, they did not overall want to interact with anyone relevant to conflict. Being pulled into matters was not the best notion, even if civilians were supported on occasion.

Multiple countries were passed through over an extensive period. Those of Europe and adjacent locations were relevant without realising present borders.

Could go nearly anywhere, hindrances overall absent. Danger exists, but there is less risk than there was earlier, subjectively.

Occasionally crossed through areas with radiation present and left without detriment or awareness of that fact, aside from noting those locations featured apparent abandonment.

Likely remembers terrain to a considerable extent while drifting past, further causing capability to discern location based on the landscape itself. Mountains, valleys, and groves along with the contour of the ground were distinct enough to remain familiar to an overall extent.

They may not recall everything long-term, although still enough to know where they were going typically. That the terrain changes gradually however meant lack of recognition in the moment.

Being viewed as hallucination later on, when relevant, was infrequent. They often left after someone appeared or became evident, to the relative confusion of persons who could perceive them.

They could be easily mistaken for a historical figure or roleplayer from a distance, which could have factored into outer perspectives.

When more inconspicuous, speaking to persons who were 'off the path' would not have been 'too out there', raven being well-known for their vocalisations; at least until it became too direct.

Ghost-story like experiences might have been shared by relevant persons, or not, depending on following decisions.

They can speak a number of languages. Depending on where and who they encountered, being able to coherently speak a specific dialect would have been off.

As it is, departing or keeping from interacting might be a norm, further if hostility is perceived or registered, as awareness means state of mind can be apparent.

They are still asocial to some extent as an individual, typically making paths around Verona and other locales toward the earlier and later hours, which somewhat echoes earlier durations.

If enough pressure situationally builds, may disconnect emotionally from matters; which can be faulty despite that being a kind of defense. Self-interest may not be put into as much regard; tone in that sense lacking. Distance may be necessary to mentally 'turn around'. Would know that it is not an ideal state of mind, but being unable to feel anything does not equal a lack of rationality. When awareness returns, may withdraw socially and/or keep silent for a duration; being somewhat overwhelmed and possibly unwilling to cause issue.

While this displays humour not often shown, may trick someone by speaking in 'old written word'; if pressured to speak; using 'f' instead of 's' phonetically. A switch over to normal speech by extent would be meant to confuse others. This is as opposed to being abrupt and/or possibly too blunt; a context that is more indirect than callousness. Aside from this, through boredom or on a whim, may minutely cause similar quandary through wordplay or more indirect attempts.

Breeds cultivars for medicinal purposes, the resulting strains both ordinary and on occasion not.

If a plant is given water charged with healing contexts, inherent qualities may be prenaturally fortified.

Wound repair can be painful and taxing, the recovery process rapid.

Protein-rich supplements would be necessary to offset the deficiency that would result; lupine powder and similar products a focus.

As an herbalist and physician, knows what is ideal to avoid poisoning on a normal basis. Often, processes involve painkillers, when available.

Over the counter medication, along with opium and morphine have relevance. In Europe, it is legal in various locations to administer substances medicinally with a permit. Angitia has license, although she is not the person using it.

Likely has a camellia sinensis set away. Leaves are cultivated/stored for emergencies.

Relevant supplies are limited; and not often used by extent.

Tea can be used as a simultaneous wash, disinfectant, and anti-inflammatory. Tannins present restrict flow, preventing further complications.

Their living quarters are occasionally occupied, and otherwise locked when away from that space. Not many aware of the danger try to enter the room itself, the contents of that space variously hazardous. Biological systems are fragile and can be easily influenced or overtaxed, often to relative detriment.

Likes to sit and read with a cup nearby, despite not being able to drink it.

They account for stock and necessities when important; including calculated costs and supply. This is voluntary and periodically done to be useful and to avoid idleness. Beyond that, they help around in other regards; mostly cleaning and cooking, both as an interest and a means to pass time.

When she comes back after a bad day, they at times step up in that regard and try to take the edge off matters with a latte or other drink.

Angitia bought them an anthology for relative interests. As online databases have a vast amount of information, technology is similarly frequented.

Usually only cooks when necessary, although a concept that varies. Having originated from a time with more limitations, they often do not overlook the importance of relativity.

Favourite (typical) moths are the Grey Dagger and the Green Forester moths. While not ornate, behaviour and physiology causes perspective. The Leopard and Ghost moth are a concern; the nearby fruit trees and crops are often checked. It can be minute or gradual, but activity may be apparent by extent, if relevant. Beetles and alike species are typically left alone, enough harvest present.

When around the cottage, there is a routine assessment of individual trees for parasites burrowing beneath the bark of trees, besides for grubs that might be under certain plants. Activity is apparent when present. Keeping infestation from spreading is an occasional effort.

Often notes many things running under bark, soil, and other surfaces wherever crossed. This may prompt interest in understanding relevant organisms in realism. Although not bothered by the constancy to awareness, ignoring factors actively is a consistent element. It is essentially background noise. If something ‘bigger’ was moving nearby, they often react accordingly.

Microscopic things are unapparent, but evidently down to about 4mm, they can gauge physiological depth. If activity exists below certain plants in quantity, an effort may be made to remove relevant origins.

Has a 'needs come first' sort of mentality, which is remaining from earlier time frames, a factor usually encompassing welfare and intemperance. By extent, makes an effort to remain prepared in case complications occur.

As Angitia is frequently out during the day, recipes are not often planned. Relevant activity may differ during the later hours: a lack of sleep meaning occasional attempts. They try not to be loud, to not wake her, as she expends a lot of stamina through occupational efforts.

Socially, she is more dynamic. Connections are maintained; if not always without risk. While she is defending them, they also do not overall want to become involved in complicated activity for various reasons.

It can be considered a healthy relationship. Manipulation does not exist on either side. She technically gave them a chance, which was not refused. A want for direction and sense of difference prompted that eventual decision, earlier events having caused experience and recollection which had not by far vanished despite centuries passing.

This can be seen to parallel how Vieri did not disregard interests. With how events earlier resulted, Lilium acclimated to social groundwork. Inquiry and choice resulted in difference. Whether this was 'good' or 'bad' in terms of self varied. Interdependencies still mean a considerable amount, harshness and positivism coinciding with other contrasts.

Relative cheerfulness may be forced sometimes. Overall not inane despite attempted positivism. Mentally around 20s-30s, despite knowledge and recollection surpassing that. Adult and generally capable.

They pass along food and water to other individuals, which is where their cooking attempts often result. Relays have purpose, although they stay around the flat during the earlier hours for various reasons.

There are less crowds later on. Being able to maneuver means carrying food and water to various locations with less complication. Most persons are likely barely known, but a few are more familiar. Not everyone is that well off situationally; it does not hurt to be considerate.

If encountering a stray animal, whether normal or not, food may be passed along similarly. This has resulted in certain individuals seeking them out when in the vicinity.

Distributes what they make to various small shops for a moderate return. As it turned out; tea, candles, sewing products, and other goods that are custom made are somewhat in high demand; the sellers who are distributed to gain a profit margin, whereas Lilium gains at least €10 or €15 per item passed along. About a week, around €200 might be applicable depending on activity and situation. Currency gained is often partly distributed to others, although a relative amount is used to obtain materials for further efforts.

Anonymity exists in that sense; the shop owners do not depict most sources publicly. An occasional path to various shops is only necessary to deposit a small stock, which happens with caution as of most ventures. This occurs in the early mornings typically, before the shops officially open and hardly anyone is around.

Later than 6 am, activity starts to pick up. A schedule is kept for the most part to mitigate this.

Often visits local enoteca and stays toward the side tables for a duration. A bottle of wine is often purchased for Angitia when viable, although they load up on other goods for further purposes.

Similarly frequents local markets and food-based events when applicable, the crowds not too difficult to evade and various sellers familiar with relevant individuals. The seasonal produce is often looked forward to depending on what is featured during a given time of the year.

Currently makes a habitual effort to lock the door to the flat, an earlier occurrence and awareness otherwise meaning effort against further loss.

Although Angitia disposed of the remains she caused in defense, someone having died in close vicinity was demoralising.

They are close friends, but if other notions are or were relevant, limitations would have in realism caused avertation. Both are likely fine with how things are.

Lilium is around 400 years old. Lifespan is one basis for not getting romantically involved; further, too much happened otherwise to consider anything not platonic.

It is not likely that they would adhere to the notion otherwise. Being close to others is often ‘faulty’ and too much consideration can be painful eventually.

Meliōrem, in Latin, translates 'to make better', aside from 'to improve' or 'to become better' in definition: which is an accurate as an aim, and accurate to relative time frame.

The term 'lilium' signifies a genus of flower species that is endemic to Europe, China, India, and related continents. It is often ascribed as a 'funeral flower', and associated with death and loss. Despite that correlation, the exact meaning of it as a funeral flower is more extensive. In antiquity, medieval and Renaissance time frames, it was seen as a symbol of purity, which corresponded to the concept of peace and innocence after death. This has religious basis to an extent, which is not irrelevant as an understanding.

In-narrative, they might have assumed that name for a variety of reasons; unconsciousness sort of reaching for that term out of caution and indecision.

History, known and unknown, comprises considerable death and loss. If factors are left alone long enough, phenomena from relevant activity tend to accrue, which can be malignant due to how much life is about suffering.

Individuals technically 'recycle' metaphysical factors, keeping that from festering and becoming worse, which relates to inherent contexts on multiple levels.

Through relative presence and otherwise travel, 'bad air' is cleared from the surroundings. Somatic awareness correlates to that ambient element, meaning capability for considerable help or harm.

That 'bad air', or 'miasma' was believed to correlate to 'evil spirits' has relevance.

In romance stories and folklore, entire islands appeared and disappeared out of existence. Other factors transpired that could have been considered hazardous: monsters, paths, and further phenomena.

A considerable degree of metaphysical contexts built up over the years before the medieval era. 'Miasma' and 'evil spirits' were correlated as causing difficulties up until that time frame, which may have significance.

The scenery was considerably more chaotic before things started to settle.

While factors still have relevance, this is intermittent, but seem to focus about populaces as a generality.

Individually, they occurred after earlier factors were abating and would not have crossed paths with anything hostile.

Over some centuries that excess abated, 'raven' (Lilium/others) gradually caused equilibrium ambiently. Many 'strange things' were slain by people during that time frame, which factored into relevancies.

The church and its members were viewed with a lens of mysticism, as were folk healers for a long time. It would make sense that many aspects of their lives; relative seclusion and contending with communal burdens, could relate to themselves and further figures.

Relevant figures were guides historically, on a spiritual basis and in terms of direct necessities. Memory in some regard having carried over, other aspects may have as well to personality and perception. Acting as a guiding light has further relevance, capability and related contexts situationally utilised toward aid.

Pain and sorrow are emotions that stem from want for something; usually a return to normalcy, or for something to come back. While not exactly the same as what was lost, they still in a sense are a result of that loss.

Basis being 'absence', individually lacks relative depth and drive. Yet consciousness still is present through the fact of groundwork. Despite lacking materiality, still consists of memory/tone/else: which grounds them by extent and causes depth.

Lacked understanding beyond general contexts, but was cognisant enough for caution, beyond rationality and regard.

In archetypal terms could be considered an 'outsider' to the worlds that surround them, both on an inherent perspective and by others' awareness of their person. This is not a genuine detachment, albeit lack of understanding precedes fact. Does not understand matters on a base level, which leads to a lot of caution and doubt. In that sense, confidence is necessary as a farce.

"Outsider" — no flesh/bone/chemical basis: not limited by materiality. The capacity to go (virtually) anywhere is significant; it is part of design in meta/otherwise.

They are not limited to one place, essentially.

Capacity can probably extend beyond Earth, though realistically reluctant to leave what is familiar.

They have not known anything but that, either.

Raven in this reality are often solitary and constantly moving.

This is significant to the environs ambiently; as is capacity to endure surrounding elements. Capability correlates functionally.
