Personal Information

Appearance

Dressed starkly, but warmly, Ljónynja at once looks regal, wild, beautiful, and terrifying. She's not a traditionally beautiful woman, with her scars, unusual dress and wild features, but while one gets the sense of an uncomfortably close relationship with her beast, Ljónynja does not give off the sense of inhumanity. Rather, she seems to be a once-wild lion tamed by centuries in the Invictus, and by the travesties she's borne witness to. None of the tameness should be taken for weakness, she still looms as a figure of fear, but only to those who give her reason to unchain the animal beneath. A cloak covers her back and arms, but does not restrict movement. She is at once bound and free. She has a chain bracelet on her wrist, and a scarification of the Casa di Temperance's Coat of Arms on her back.
Ljónynja has a wild look behind her icy-white eyes, but while they feel so cold, there are times when warmth can be found there too. While not all subscribe to the theory, some suspect the reason for her unusual eye colour is that her eyes instead of her hair turned white when her brother died.

Personality

Calm, quick thinking, and slow speaking, Ljónynja is the very essence of an Gangrel Invictus elder. She is gentle with those who require it, harsh when called for, and prepared to help those willing to learn. She moves slowly, with the grace of ages, but with presence and purpose too.
She accepts that some may not wish to tell her what she wants to know, but loathes betrayal and those few who have betrayed her, or her family, have not lived long to tell of the tale.

Mortal World

There is no record of Ljónynja in the mortal world. What records there might have been disappeared a long time ago, and she operates through her retainers, vassals, and other allies.

Information Known by Kindred Society

Quotes

Quotes By

"Find him, bind him, tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters. Drag him to a hole and let him wake up naked, clawing at the ceiling of his grave. Mould his mind, chain his beast, break his barriers down, and bind him to your will. Then bring him to your lord as a loyal subject and trained childe."

- On how to embrace into the Invictus, 1477.

"You are hurt by your chains, and I do blame you. You have allowed the wrong master to bind you. I do not come here to break them for you. Au contrare, I come to tell you to return them, polished and perfected, to your master. Then you may visit my house, so that we might forge you a new chain. One which fits you becomingly and is worthy of use as a weapon, rather than a burden."

- To a Carthian, complaining of their covenant and seeking to join the Invictus, 1928.

"Don't speak to him that way again. Do not underestimate his importance. He's mine. Even if you must respect nothing else, respect that."

- Discussing Ao with Jezira Ubiti, 1982.

Inspirations and Soundtrack

Songs

• Kerli - Diamond Hard: My skin is soft like velvet but my nails are razor sharp, my scent is sweet like honey but I am diamond hard, my ways they cut through plastic, rust free my golden heart, this shit is so bombastic, yeah I am diamond hard.
• Fever Ray - If I Had a Heart: This will never end, 'cause I want more, more give me more, give me more, if I had a heart I could love you, if I had a voice I could sing, after the night when I wake up, I'll see what tomorrow brings.
• Diary of Dreams - She: She wears a perfume of truly vicious taste, she has the wisdom in her empathic eyes, she knows the truth to all unspoken lies, she says she would sell her angel for a dream. She masters violence as if she fears no-one, she makes your anger turn into quiet tears, she makes you laugh about intimate fears. She knows the warmth she feels is not for long.
• Alan Walker - Sing Me To Sleep: Remind me how it feels to hear your voice. Living life as if we had a choice, anywhere, anytime, I would do anything for you, anything for you, yesterday got away, melodies stuck inside your head, a song in every breath, sing me to sleep now, sing me to sleep. Remember me, now time can not erase, I can hear your whispers in my mind, I have come what you can not embrace, your memories will be my lullaby.
• Digital Daggers - Still Here: Musing through memories, losing my grip in the grey. I'd die to be where you are, I tried to be where you are, every night I dream you're still here, a ghost by my side so perfectly clear, when I awake you'll disappear, back to the shadows, with all I hold dear.
• Sia - Alive: I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go, where the wind don't change, and nothing in the ground can grow, no just lies, but I survived. I had made every single mistake, that you could ever possibly make. I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it, did all the thing you said that I wouldn't, I told you I would never be forgotten.
• Ljónynja and Wodan The Script - Superheroes: All the hurt, all the lies, all the tears that they cry, when the moment is just right, you'll see fire in their eyes, 'cause he's stronger than you know, a heart of steel starts to grow, when you've been fighting for it all your life, you've been struggling to make things right. Every day every hour turn that pain into power, she's got lions in her heart, a fire in her soul, he's got a beast in his belly so hard to control.
• For Celene Placebo - The Bitter End: Every step we take that's synchronized, every broken bone, reminds me of the second time, that I followed you home, you shower me with lullabies, as you're walking away, reminds me that it's killing time, on this fateful day, see you at the bitter end.
• For Gaspar Acosta Da Blanca VNV Nation - Chrome: Your actions turn conquest to dust. All creation has the promise of heaven, and still you travel the road to hell, I'm saying nothing for the good of myself, but I'm still talking and you're not listening, if I could change your mind, I wouldn't save you from the path you wander.
