Vasilisa the Beautiful
Princess Vasilisa (a.k.a. Vasilisa the Beautiful)
Vasilisa the Beautiful, or Princess Vasilisa, is the ruler of the Thrice-Nine Kingdom. Vasilisa’s beauty is legendary, yet it carries an otherworldly quality that reflects the mysticism of her realm.
She has long, flowing bonde hair that cascades down her back like a waterfall, often adorned with intricate braids and golden ornaments shaped like stars or flowers. Her pale skin seems to shimmer faintly, and her sharp, almond-shaped eyes are a piercing ice-blue, capable of seeing far beyond the physical world. Her full lips are often set in a serene but knowing smile.
Vasilisa is dressed in elegant attire, often wearing a richly embroidered sarafan (a long, sleeveless dress) in shades of deep red, gold, and forest green. The fabric is adorned with symbols of her court, such as wolves, stars, and vines. Over her shoulders, she drapes a cloak made of fur and silk, with silver thread woven throughout to give it an ethereal, shimmering quality.
Her crown is a delicate, intricate creation, resembling a wreath of golden branches interwoven with glowing snowflakes. It gives her the appearance of both a winter queen and a forest goddess, perfectly blending beauty and nature.
Ever with her is the skull sceptre that offers light and fire that glows within the skull with a fire that never dies.
Vasilisa is a figure of deep wisdom and quiet power, balancing her serene beauty with a sharp intellect and a vast understanding of the magic that governs her kingdom. Vasilisa is known for her calm and collected demeanor. She seldom raises her voice, but when she speaks, all listen, for her words carry great weight. Beneath her gentle exterior lies a fierce and determined spirit, one that has survived countless challenges and trials.
She is the keeper of ancient knowledge and wisdom, much of which she gained from her experiences and her tiny wooden doll companion. Though she is often kind and helpful, Vasilisa is not quick to reveal all that she knows. She prefers to guide those who seek her counsel toward their own discoveries rather than simply providing answers.
One of Vasilisa’s most treasured possessions is her tiny wooden doll, a small figure passed down to her by her mother. The doll is carved from a single piece of enchanted wood, its face carefully etched with eyes that seem to gleam with life. Despite its unassuming appearance, the doll holds immense power. When Vasilisa offers the doll a bit of food and drink—such as a crumb of bread and a drop of mead—it springs to life. In this awakened state, the doll offers Vasilisa invaluable advice, helping her make decisions or find solutions to problems that even her magical knowledge cannot solve.
The doll is both wise and cunning, often suggesting paths that are not immediately apparent. It has guided Vasilisa through difficult times, offering insights into the intricate politics of the fey courts or providing subtle hints that lead her to uncover hidden truths.
Vasilisa is a beloved ruler, admired for her fairness, wisdom, and ability to maintain peace in her kingdom. Vasilisa has a unique relationship with the hags who dwell in her kingdom. Unlike in other courts, where hags are feared or shunned, in the Thrice-Nine Kingdom, they are treated with a level of respect. Vasilisa values their wisdom and allows them to reside within her realm as long as they adhere to her rules.
Vasilisa’s kingdom is a place where destinies are woven, altered, or fulfilled. She is often sought after by those seeking to change their fates or understand the paths that lie ahead. Though her answers are rarely direct, she offers guidance that ultimately helps individuals find their way.
Vasilisa the Beautiful is a figure of deep mystery, quiet strength, and ancient wisdom, ruling over her fey court with grace and a connection to the magic that surrounds her. Her enchanted wooden doll, ever by her side, serves as both a reminder of her roots and a source of unparalleled insight into the ever-shifting tides of the Thrice-Nine Kingdom.
