Look for ways to bring nature and the spirit of living to the drink by capturing the essence of Terra and placing it in her brewing.. Use of Magic with Trade: Her magic is used to create special wines for certain occasions. Long-term goal is researching old Unavisi methods of finding and accentuating pleasurable memories through the drink giving users a longer feeling of euphoria and enjoyment. Creation of Special Vinusian Wines and Spirits: Raspberry's special wines can pinpoint the joyous, pleasurable, sensual, and positive parts of a Unavisi life experience and dramatically accentuating it. Also she can produce spirits that open up a greater link to Terra by giving taste to its non-edible beauty. Like how the hot summer wind on your skin would taste, or the power of the ion charge of a great storm. These creations are difficult achieve for many reasons, but the main ones are; the rare materials that are needed, the time consumed in the creation, and the amount of energy that is taken from the Vinusa during the brewing process. Especially since, for example, some of the finer ones can take 30 plus years to age properly and only produce 1 liter. Work attitude: Frivolous with the fun and decadent nature of drinking. Her work demeanor boils down to 'Work hard to drink better and often.' She lives to discover new and different wines and drinks, and enjoys the socialization it brings. Around festival time she seems to glow off of the warm energy of her intoxicated brethren filling her with inspiration and love. NOTE: since so much energy is taken from Raspberry during this time it has been known for her to fall into a coma like sleep for days at a time. During then it is considered to be the time of prayer and meditation for her, and she barely remembers what passes inside her dream state at that time. However she believes something touches her whispering magic and stays, waiting to be transferred to her next creation. Background: Raspberry life has been surrounded by decadence in some way. Her father a banker and mother a dancer both loving a lavish and full life thus passing this to their daughter. It gave Raspberry a platform to have a chance to experience much and fuel her never ending thirst for exquisite things. But for all of her budding success with being a Vinusa, it wasn’t something she wanted to be. She hoped that the Spirit Counselor would see her as a dancer more than anything, loving all of the beautiful costumes her mother got to wear and how she was able to mesmerize an audience with her grace. When she found that her energy would be best suited as a wine maker she was devastated. The thought of being around smelly wheat and plant material, plus getting messy, did not set well with her one bit. So for 20 years she tried to practice dancing. Even worked on a few routines with her sympathizing mother, but soon found that something in her spirit was lacking. She didn’t get the same reaction as her mother or any of the other dancers did. Her joy didn’t show through the dance, no matter how much she loved doing it. During one such evening, the dance troupe found themselves at a bar to celebrate a wonderful night. Raspberry’s mom left her glass of wine in her care while she accepted a dance with a patron, and for some reason she had the urge to try the drink. Unfortunately her will didn’t hold and she ended up sneaking a sip. Before the end of the dance the entire glass, as well as two freshly ordered spirits, were emptied. Her mother returned to a well pickled Raspberry slurring loudly over half written notes to the barmaid on what was wrong with the drinks. After nursing a raging hangover, and embarrassed mother, she set on learning the techniques of the Vinusa. Most of her learning is spent by researching the old ways and recipes from the archives. She worked hard, trying to be something different from the competitive Vinusian trade, and now it’s starting to pay off. A few of the recipes turned into great successes, however all that she finds isn’t healthy, but can’t seem to stop. There is always something pulling her to research more. Personality: When younger Raspberry’s father would always say “When my little girl is happy, she is full on happy”, and there couldn’t be more truth to this because it applies to just about any emotion you could think of. When she feels a particular way; happy, sad, anxious, upset, angry she is nothing but that. Some who just come in contact with her wonder if there is any real “gray area” to her personality. Those who know her see that there is, but it would be found between the quick shift from one emotion to the other. She loves to flirt and play on words, she totally adores the game and the sharper the wit the better. She suffers from speaking before thinking. Thoughts ruled by her emotional state, which can make her seem nothing but bratty, snobbish, and haughty. Though she does enjoy being boastful and showy, she has a heart and does go through growing pains of admitting when she goes too far. She can be her own gauntlet but once you have her trust you have it, and she does her best to do right by that person. Appearance Short and nimble in her own way Raspberries curves aren’t as pronounced as others, but she flaunts what she has with gusto. She doesn’t fight, doesn’t understand the need to be physical, but can be rather harsh in a verbal spat. With that her form is supple but not toned. Raspberry loves flowing gowns. More so she loves them to be sheer and the colors to have a vibrant hue that accentuates her skin. Jewelry consists mostly of rings, but does favor waist and tail pieces. Ears are pierced with only two holes but on the upper fold. Silver is her favorite metal and she enjoys gems of all types.
