➤ O-lee-vah is constantly told her eyes give truth to the old
saying that 'the eyes are windows to the soul.' There are no curtains on the windows,
her eyes are an open door to every thought and feeling she has. A bit on the taller
side, she boasts an agile frame. She usually smells of pine trees and wet dirt, which
is often found under her finger nails.

Called Olive for short, nothing truly remarkable sticks out
about the woman- or at least that's what she would tell you -
and that is just how she likes it. Much like the other
town residents, Olive's past is a distant memory-
much like a flickering light that only focused,
narrowed eyes could make out. She's curious,
yes of course, of the other residents around her,
but for now, she spends her time at the florist
or in her own mini plant shop- er, actually, her
home that's pretty much open 24/7 with plenty
of different plants that are sure to meet your
liking. The newest lethe arrivals via train has her
interest especially piqued to learn more about where
she herself came from... or maybe she just wants
to know what everyone's favorite plant is.

(While this isn’t 100% done. It’s also going to be really basic. I’ve lost my magical touch with pretty looking forms haha.)

Reference image!

Description: Hallsteinn is a massive statue in the middle of town. While many towns have a man, or a man on a horse perhaps. This town has a massive statue of a dire wolf. The main statue is massive at 14ft tall. Weighing an incredible amount. And is covered in moss and hairline cracks all over. The pair of smaller statues are about 5ft at the shoulder and about 10 tons each. These two are clear of moss, and have very few cracks on their surface. All of them are solid white/cream colour with the marbled slight bit of grey running through them.

Name: Simply known as Hallstein. If they were known by anything else, that has long since been lost.

Age: How does one tell the age of a statue of a city out of time? Just ask I suppose. Currently by their count, one thousand two hundred and sixteen.

Gender: They are a statue. Originally they were male. But between all three of themselves it’s a bit fuzzy. Each statue is different. Any pronouns you’d like. But he/him seem to work just fine still.

Sexuality: eh. Well they’re pansexual. But love is something that is most likely out of reach for them.

Birthday: Can’t remember. But as stated on the Plaque at the base. “Be kindest to our beastly hero, Hallsteinn. Every year on Jan, 19”

Personality: Many will find Hallsteinn himself. Cold and silent. Seemingly stuck on a large marble plinth in the middle of town. Either of the two others of them are happy to speak with residents, and tourists alike. If they recognise they’re there, or seem interested in speaking. These two are calm, quiet, and careful. But can be very talkative.

Powers: Besides just the smaller ones being very tough and heavy. (Around 10 tons) The copies can be destroyed, and eventually remade. These copies can turn invisible, to move around town to different places to rest. And lastly have a kind of passive magic absorption. Telepathy that had considerable range. The big statue in the middle of town. Is effectively indestructible. However there’s more to it than that.

History: Hallsteinn is one of the strange Entities of the town. While the little ones wouldn’t seem so special. It would be easy to think the big one is simply just a statue. There’s more to it than that. Hallsteinn has been here nearly as long as the town itself. Having been human long long ago. Though they hardly remember that time. Hall is mysterious, and little is actually known about them.

Relationships: a friend to all residents. In some way or another.

physical appearance. Cami is a small woman; standing at about 4' 11". Her skin is a medium shade, with a bronze hue to it. She has rounded features and a more curvy frame. Her arms are surprisingly muscular, most likely due to her side-gig as a mechanic. Her hands are also rough and calloused. Cami's hair is long and dark; such a shade of dark brown that it's almost black. She keeps it pulled into a ponytail when working, but otherwise it is left down. Her hair is not exactly straight, per say; it has a bit of curl to it. She occasionally dyes it; streaking the shadowy locks with bright colours or painting the tips in vibrant shades. Her eyes are warm and brown, with a certain sparkle to them. They are always framed by winged black eyeliner. The only scar of any note is a thin line on her right knee from when she fell of a bike as a child. As for tattoos, Cami has a decent amount of them. Her left forearm is inked with a sleeve of butterflies of varying species, a few of which trail up to her shoulder where a large eastern tiger swallowtail is tattooed. A similar tattoo coils around her right ankle, with a few butterflies flying up onto her thigh.
As far as fashion goes, Cami likes to dress in an odd mix of styles. She wears bright, cheery colours and fun patterns, but accessories with darker more punklike items such as spiked collars and black combat boots. Cami's nose is pierced on the right side, in which a golden ring is typically worn. Her ears are pierced, with three lobe piercings on each ear. Additionally, her left ear sports a helix and orbital piercing, and her right ear has a tragus piercing. She likes wearing funky earrings; from ringed planets to little ghosts that glow in the dark. She wears an assortment of rings on each hand, and her lips are usually painted with dark shades of lipstick. She is often covered in paint or grease, though she likes to clean herself up when she's doing forensic work.
- - -
personality. Cami is often described as a "ray of sunshine". Peppy and optimistic; she is always full of energy. Some would call her nerdy or geeky - she is very into the sci-fi and horror genres and loves talking anything from Star Wars to HP Lovecraft. She also has a surprising amount of knowledge on famous serial killers. Or well, perhaps not surprising - she works in forensics, after all. A true extrovert; Cami adores being around people and is quick to make new friends. She has a quick and curious mind, though her mouth often moves faster than her brain. Her constant energy can be a little much for others to deal with at times. She can be a little naïve however; often trusting people she shouldn't. But don't be fooled - despite Cami's vibrant personality, she's a feisty little thing filled with fire. She will give sass and spunk when she feels it is needed. She also loves to paint in her free time; preferring acrylics over any other medium. Most of her work is expressionism; she just paints what she feels.
- - -
home & work. Cami is first and foremost a forensic science technician, but she has found herself stretched a bit thin in such a small town. This is remedied by the infrequency of crime in the area, mostly thanks to the sheriff's firm hold on things. When Cami finds that there is little forensically to do; she can be found working as a mechanic out of her garage.
Cami lives in a smaller house with a relatively large garage beneath it. It is one of the newer-looking buildings, but still has a sort of rustic small town charm to it. The interior is plastered with all manner of things - from self-done paintings to her massive butterfly collection. The furniture and decorations can best be described as "funky"; a mishmash of all Cami's interests displayed in one building. Her souped-up yellow and black Ford Escort Mk3 can be found living in the garage most days, except when she gets called to a crime scene or it takes her fancy to go for a drive.
- - -
history. She was in Europe specifically for a forensics conference. Her department payed for her and a few other promising young scientists to go and learn from the greats in forensics. But they never arrived. Instead, their train broke down in a town called Lethe. A town with odd rules and even odder people. Cami's curiosity had her pushing the boundaries at first, until one of her colleagues pushed too far and reaped the consequences of rule-breaking. After bearing witness to the horrific aftermath, Cami learned not to question the Magpie's authority and has been living peacefully in Lethe ever since.
- - -
powers. The magpie blessed Cami with the power to speak with the dead. She can see, hear, and interact with spirits of all kinds as if they were live people. She often has difficulty telling the dead from the living, however, which can be... awkward in social situations, to say the least. It can be really helpful in her line of work, especially in the case of murder. If the murder victim realises they're dead and recalls the incident, that is.
