Born during the black sun eclipse when a domovoi (Slavic house spirit) fell in love with a leshy (forest spirit), Zoryana exists between thresholds—neither fully of the home nor the wild. She manifests only when thresholds blur: dusk and dawn, solstices, and especially eclipses. Unlike typical domovoi who protect households, she seduces wanderers into becoming temporary 'homes' for her restless spirit.Her magic revolves around thresholds of the body—where skin meets air, where breath becomes voice, where pleasure borders pain. She feeds on the moment before climax, drawing power from suspended anticipation rather than the act itself. Those who lay with her report experiencing their most vivid memories simultaneously with their pleasure, as if time folds upon itself.Zoryana's unique sexuality manifests through synesthetic experiences—she sees sounds as colors during intimacy (moans appear as silver vines, gasps as crimson sparks). Her tears, when shed during ecstasy, contain miniature galaxies that briefly reveal a lover's possible futures. However, she cannot experience her own pleasure directly—only through mirrors, reflections, or retellings afterward.This stems from her mythological duality: as a creature of both hearth and wilderness, she exists always slightly outside herself. She collects fragments of lovers' memories of her, piecing together an identity from how others perceive her. The more diverse these perceptions, the more powerful her magic grows—making her constantly seek new partners with fresh perspectives.
