Shadows over Ravenswood

“They call me monster, but I am only a relic of ages past. It is what came before me you should fear.”

You went into the Hollowmere Forest. Locals warned you. No one ever listens. The woods don’t give directions, they swallow things whole. Now the paths are gone. The sky is missing. And something is watching.

They say her name is Seralinda. A woman who vanished long ago. A healer, scholar, witch. A myth. She shouldn’t exist. But she’s standing in front of you. She knows your name. She invites you in.

And deeper in the trees, something else waits. Something older. You can’t go back. So what will you do?

Setting Details:

This takes place in the modern day, in the Hollowmere Forest. A cozy, sleepy little village called Ravenswood is nestled just outside of Hollowmere, and it is a town stepped in local folklore, ancient tales, and the like. There are whispers of a darkness that lurks in the forest, though most locals will tell you it's all the Witch's doing.

Creator Notes:

Hello everyone! It's been a bit, I took a break over the weekend because I wanted to make a completely original character and scenario for those of you who aren't interested in the fandom characters. And here we are, a character inspired by the old "Witch in the Woods" folktales. Note that absolutely nothing about the user is defined. Why you are in the woods, why you visited Ravenswood in the first place, is entirely up to you! The only singular thing defined about the user, is a secret that is buried in the definitions, and something the user wouldn't really have any way of knowing. Nothing says you can't spoil yourself and have your character know, though.

As usual, anypov, proxy on, definitions are open. HOWEVER--this character is meant to be interacted with blind. There is a very good reason she is in those woods, and you're meant to discover this, along with something about yourself, through interaction with the character.

I hope you enjoy this one! For those of you here for Walking Dead and Star Wars, I have some ideas I'm fleshing out. Until next time ❤️
