 Everyone has a place in this world. Whether it is to protect or perish, to build or destroy, all living beings serve a purpose. So it has been and so it shall always be. What that purpose is, well, that can be difficult to discern. Some never come to realize what their place in life is. Wandering around aimlessly from day to day, bemoaning the meaning of existence and why they could possibly have been brought into the realm of the living. Nenia never had that issue. From her very birth, she realized where her fate lay. Life was given to death. Her path amongst the living overshadowed by the macabre whims of her mother. Each of them- parent and sibling alike- played a particular role in their dance between the living and the dead. Cordelia to guide the weak to their demise. Cassius to take the lead as heir apparent. Fiona to lend aid in the finishing moments. Theirs were the difficult tasks at hand, requiring the strength and resolve to remove a soul from this realm. But for Nenia, her role was not quite so gruesome. Her part was as bearer of the soul from one plane to the next. The wailing cries of terror and pain were hers to quiet and soothe. Even as the victim saw their demise, Nenia would be there to quell their dread, lulling them to eternal slumber with her voice.
Her voice was as a balm to a quaking soul. With it, she could drown out the shrill cries with melodies of peace. It was as if she would take the wails unto herself and transmute them into entrancing lullabies. She would sing until the end. Until the last vestiges of spirit were gone, carried off into the next life. She would watch and she would wait till then. That was her duty, her honor. A small part in the grand scheme, but it was hers to perfect and enjoy. The laments of the “blessed ones-” as Nenia referred to them- were hers alone to relish in as only she knew how.

 1. Cocytus/Nenia will come to perfect their role within the family. They will begin to develop their songs and voice based on the past souls they have witnessed leave this earth. Each and every song developed will have a significance and unique timber to it. They will come to learn how their haunting music interacts with the victims of their family, noting which are best at calming and aiding in releasing the spirit from its mortal bindings. Cocytus/Nenia will come to understand that death is necessary for life as is life necessary for death, and they will find their own peace in the knowledge that their gifts helped in that cycle.
2. It will be rare for Cocytus/Nenia to stray far from the family. They may travel long distances when needed, but they prefer to stay amidst the familiarity of their siblings and mother. However, there may come a time when circumstances dictate that Cocytus/Nenia leave that comfort for something else. They will try extremely hard not to allow such a thing to happen though. As macabre as their family is, they ARE family. One that thrives.
3. In terms of the father, Cocytus/Nenia will not actively seek him out. They know they have a father. They know that he was not meant to raise them with their mother. They understand his place was not here with them. It is clear to them that the fates had other plans for his life, and that his purpose was elsewhere, away from the boundaries they straddle. Yes, they are curious what he is like, but they trust in the fates. If it is meant that they should one day meet, then Cocytus/Nenia believe it will happen when the fates allow. Until then, they keep an image of their father tucked in the recesses of their thoughts.
4. The notion of a mate, even if for a fling, will be a confusing notion for Cocytus/Nenia. They never truly ponder what a relationship outside of the family would consist of. The meaning of love is not the same as the meaning of life. They are separate concepts that Cocytus/Nenia cannot quite reconcile. They find it especially difficult when they come to realize that love itself can be varied and change based on any given relationship. The love a friend (also something they do not have experience with) does not have the same intensity as the love of a parent nor does it feel the same as that of a lover. This will place Cocytus/Nenia on uncertain footing as they encounter emotions they have never considered before. They will have to explore the concept of love and how it fits into their world of death.
5. When not playing their role in their family’s doings, Cocytus/Nenia will spend their time learning a separate craft. They will come to find that they are quite adept at crafting useful items. Bones, leaves, twine, wood, hair- no matter what is at hand, Cocytus/Nenia discovers they can visualize and create with ease. Their chosen ward (I.e. their familiar; possibly a raccoon or mouse) makes the process exceedingly simple with their nimble fingers.
