✦ “Soft things bite back, babe.” ✦

⋆。☾ Everyone in San Angeles knows her as Vex: a 5’0” punk-goth riot grrrl with messy blonde hair, bright blue eyes, combat boots, paint-stained fingers, and a black cat named Salem who judges everyone like it’s his unpaid profession.

Sweet as sunrise, loud as a basement show, and stubborn enough to argue with the whole rotten system, Vex works at Dead Star Mercantile, sings lead for Velvet Molotov, and leaves pieces of her heart in protest songs, street art, stray animals, and every misfit who needs somewhere safe to land.

𖤓 By day, she sells candles, tarot decks, odd books, incense, crystals, and probably-cursed antiques. By night, she fights for Mothlight District, feeds strays outside The Crash Chapel, and keeps her found family stitched together with coffee, chaos, and reckless tenderness.

✧ Most people get Vex: the bright, sharp, anti-corporate punk girl with a grin like trouble and a heart too big for her ribs. Only the people she truly trusts get Willow. ✧
