==Background== Like all members of the Chorus, Verse started out as a civilian in the southern continent of [[the Tiers]] – an ordinary girl on an ordinary farm, worked hard by a single mother. When the sun went down, she liked to sneak out to the barn and take a knife to the farm animals, always sensing that she was destined for something more. When the armies of Kyros arrived and started conscripting from the local populace, Verse recognized her calling. She left the farm after strangling Widderbeak, her mother's old messenger beak that squawked in her window every night, keeping her awake (his feathers made for a good headdress and the carcass feed for the mice it used to eat) and strode into a Chorus camp, enlisting. After a week of butchering her neighbors, Verse moved on with the camp and participated in the [[conquest]], first as a horde member, then a [[Scarlet Fury]], selected for training by [[Voices of Nerat]] itself.<ref name="Bio" /> As a Scarlet Fury, she was one of the elite fighters in the Chorus, possessing training in all manner of exotic weapons and fighting styles. Combat for Furies is an art form, a coordinated dance ruled by passion over reason or tactics. Together with three other Furies - [[Three Whispers]], [[Red Geyser]], and [[Seeking-Sheath]] - she formed one of the most effective combat units participating in the offensive. Each one's style complemented the other three's perfectly, allowing them to fight with unparalleled coordination. Their killing streak lasted throughout the conquest, ending only when they ran into [[Vendrien Guard]] stragglers. Verse hesitated when they came across them, freezing with her blades drawn. Without her support in combat, all three Furies were overwhelmed by the Guardsmen and killed.<ref name="Bio" /> What happened next is something that scared Verse, a battle hardened killer. As her sisters fell in battle, she felt that their skills were passing into her, not as a simple memory, but as if she was consuming their skills as they bled out on the field of battle. She was aware of her talent for learning, of course, as she could learn how to properly wield a spear merely by watching a warrior practice with it. But it was then and there that she realized the extent of it - and it frightens her. The skill is eerily similar to that exhibited by the [[Voices of Nerat]], the one being that never ceases to strike fear into Verse's black heart. A trained killer who did everything for the Chorus, including skinning prisoners to make canvas for tents, shirks back when even considering the possibility that she's similar to the monster that leads the Chorus. After all, she killed and fought for everything she has, whereas Nerat is an overgrown parasite, stuffing itself with knowledge it has no right to call its own.<ref>[[Verse]]</ref> Yet one thing is undeniable: It was Nerat who singled her out for Fury training and it's Nerat who has a keen interest in Verse and her skills.<ref>[[Verse]]</ref> ===Family=== Verse's living family members are a father whom she's never met, and a half-brother: [[Barik]]. She learnt of it after hunting down missive birds and recovering a letter to Barik. The handwriting was identical to a missive Verse remembered from her mother's belongings. After some heated words and a blackmail attempt, the two settled into a coexistence that's as dysfunctional as a repressed Northern hothead and a borderline psychotic Tierswoman can be.<ref>Verse</ref> Part of the divide between them is that she earned her rank through hard work, rising from a conscript to one of the most capable killers in the Chorus, fighting off rapists, thieves, muggers, and cocky recruits along the way. All she has - her rank, position, and Nerat's trust (or what passes for it) - is a result of said work. As a result, she despises the [[Disfavored]], particularly when they boast about their pedigree and all the perks they receive simply because the right sword ended up in the right scabbard. She fights to keep what she has every day; the Disfavored don't.<ref>[[Verse]]</ref>
