'''Belavierr Donamia''', also known as the '''Stitch Witch''', is a powerful, ancient [Witch] and [[Wiskeria|Wiskeria's]] foster mother.

== Appearance ==
Belavierr is a tall woman, comparable to a smaller half-Giant, with long hair. Her eyes are filled with multiple orange glowing concentric rings that disappear into the center of her eyes. 

She wears a pointed dark blue hat wide enough to cast her entire body into shade. Her body is covered with a very dark ornamented robe that is long and draping. She has black wrappings around her hands, making only the skin on her face visible. 

She speaks in a deep, quiet voice with a subtle echo to it.

Her face shows no expression, and when she ''does'' try, like smiling slightly due to seeing her daughter, it comes across as awkward, and then quickly vanishes.<ref name=":6.37 E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/13/6-37-e/ Chapter 6.37 E]</ref>

== Personality ==
Belaiverr is a deeply unsettling, enigmatic, and intimidating figure. She has lived for millennia, having witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations. Having seen almost everything, she has a detached demeanor, which along with her cryptic speech, makes her hard to understand. As a "selfish witch," she is completely amoral. Her actions and decisions are based on what benefits her or the deal, making her seem ruthless or monstrous at times. Above all else, she is a survivor who refuses to yield an inch to death. She is willing to sacrifice anything or anyone to take her place when faced with death and destruction, and has taken millions of lives to build up her immortality and magic. Her only weak spot is her daughter Wiskeria, for whom she is willing to do anything for except kill herself or stop practicing her craft. 

Belavierr's inner, mortal self is literally locked away within herself, cocooned by layers of spells and thread,<ref>{{VERef|6.44 E}}</ref> causing her to lose touch with normal emotions and values. What might be a tragedy or a matter of life and death is insignificant to her. She is utterly unresponsive to insults or even attacks, and barely cared to remember even her fellow [Witches], with her daughters Wiskeria and [[Maviola (Undead)|Maviola]] notable exceptions. After most of her immortality was burned away by [[Raim]], Belavierr has become more aware of herself and others.<ref name=":5" /> After [[Wiskeria]] becomes a [Witch of Law], Belavierr decided to become "evil", setting herself up as her daughter's enemy so that she may grow to face her. Her invulnerability also means that she is quick to enact revenge against anything that can hurt or thwarted her. Currently, she has sworn grudges against [[Mrsha du Marquin|Mrsha]], [[Cara O'Sullivan]], and the "[[Dead Gods|mice]]," among many others. 

Belavierr is adept at manipulation, particularly through the contracts and deals she makes. She often targets those who are emotionally vulnerable, and twists situations to her advantage, leaving those who bargain with her in precarious positions. Despite appearing calm and controlled, she is capable of subtle manipulations that can lead others into ruin. She carries a great deal of pride in the fact that she can give almost anything that people want. She was angered when she was rejected by [[Rufelt Owelt|Rufelt]] and [[Lasica Feltail|Lasica]],<ref>{{VERef|8.27}}</ref> hounding them inside of an [Immortal Moment] and later attempting to assassinate them.<ref>{{VERef|8.66}}</ref>

== Background ==
Belavierr is a wanted criminal. Amongst her charges are: <em>Murder. Kidnapping. Torture. Injury of a royal. Unlawful use of dark magic. Theft. Murder of a child. Extortion. Murder of a [Knight]. Murder of a [Guardsman]. Destruction of a city. Mass murder. Mutilation. Murder of a [Prince]. Freeing imprisoned slaves. Murder of a [Slaver]. Murder of a [Mage]. Seduction of a [Prince] (unconfirmed). Destruction of a village (unconfirmed) and mass murder via hanging. Summoning of an Old One; mass deaths by an Old One. Creation of monsters. Bribery, </em>and so forth.

Records indicate she was around at least 21,000 years ago and was already infamous when she participated in a blood ritual to ensure 100 years of peace between the [[Plain’s Eye Tribe]] and [[Salazsar]].<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/02/23/8-66/ Chapter 8.66]</ref> It is implied by Belavierr that she had a hand in creating and perhaps freeing the [[String People]]. [Golem Artificers], [Weavers], [High Mages], and [Witches] worked together to create sentient Cloth Golems that would eventually come to be a species unto themselves.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/27/6-41-e/ Chapter 6.41 E]</ref> She was a friend and ally of the tyrant [[Nerrhavia (Queen)|Nerrhavia]] during her thousand years of reign.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/02/9-04/ Chapter 9.04]</ref>

Belavierr came across Wiskeria, the victim of some accident, and adopted her as her daughter. she taught the child all the old secrets of witchcraft, answering all of her questions and fulfilling all of her requests. She even taught her how to kill her, should she ever betray her.

Belavierr healed the [[Griffin Prince]] when twelve year-old Wiskeria had gouged out his eye. They were then introduced to [[Kaliv]]'s court, and she offered Queen [[Novakya]] a deal so that Wiskeria could stay and be friends with the prince. She would visit sporadically, sometimes every day, sometimes every few months. With Wiskeria's encouragement, the Griffin Prince asked Belavierr to be made in a warrior that could not die. Waving the cost for her daughter, she granted his wish by painfully tearing him apart and stitching him back together. She was banished from Kaliv for this.<ref name=":0" />

The [[Dead Gods]] consumed part of Belavierr while she slept to empower themselves, earning her ire.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/09/05/9-56/ Chapter 9.56]</ref>

Before traveling to Izril, she encountered [[Cara O'Sullivan|Cara]].

== Chronology ==
TBA

== Powers and Abilities ==
Belavierr’s power is tied to deals and contracts. She is known for making bargains, and once a deal is made, she holds to it with ironclad precision. However, her interpretation of these deals can be twisted and dangerous, as she has a penchant for exploiting loopholes or interpreting agreements in ways that serve her interests.
