socorro sallow rosier + family

The world is a dangerous place.

She returned home, dressed in blood. Stiff. Cold. Colder than she'd ever been. Ichabod got what he wanted. The monster he'd created had no kindness in her anymore. And five days later, she was wed to Evan Rosier and his pureblood beliefs. Cora Sallow was dead, and Socorro Rosier had taken her place. When she knelt to the Dark Lord, she knew it was wrong. She knew she was wrong, had become something wrong. It didn't stop her from sinking to her knees and allowing that cursed oath – signing away her fickle allegiance and what remained of her soul to the darkest wizard of all time – to slip from her tongue.

Yes, the world is a dangerous place. And Socorro Grace Sallow Rosier is one of the reasons why.

a/n: under the cut is the entire blurb on socorro's family history. however, it does deal with quite mature and triggering themes, so please read at your own discretion.

The world is a dangerous place.

Rosalind Sallow learned this on one summer evening, when she was alone, in the Sallow Manor upon the hill in Falmouth, West Country. Her parents had already passed, and she was in the care of her brother, Ichabod – who had been away for business, his date of return unspecified.

Rosalind had always been a rather unfortunate, frail, sickly creature, in tandem with being a squib – and could not defend herself against the muggle who entered her home, cruel intentions rattling around in his skull. Nine months later – when business was concluded and Lavinia Avery was finally Lavinia Sallow – Ichabod returned home to find his dear sister, a squalling half-blood babe in her arms. She was on the verge of death, a name on her lips – Socorro – before she grew still, dead before her time.

Cora had been a mistake; Ichabod and Lavinia never failed to remind her of it. Raised in his house under the guise of his illegitimate daughter, Ichabod's favour always rested with her "brother": his pureblood son, Tiberius, who bore the proud name of an emperor, testament to Ichabod's adoration. The name Socorro tasted bitter on her tongue in comparison.

She never hated muggles and muggleborns like her family did. She was uncommonly kind for a Sallow – an enduring ghost of Rosalind, one that Ichabod simply could not suffer any longer – and her family sought to tear it from her. The world could not only be dangerous, but cruel, too.

The truth broke her – her whole world and life having been built on a lie. And Rosalind Sallow's vengeance came in the form of Socorro.

He had begged for his life, of course. But her father – her real father, the cowering pathetic scum he was – was granted the same mercy her mother was. Simply put; he was granted none. She tore him apart, and found herself unflinching.

She returned home, dressed in blood. Stiff. Cold. Colder than she'd ever been. Ichabod got what he wanted. The monster he'd created had no kindness in her anymore. And five days later, she was wed to Evan Rosier and his pureblood beliefs. When she knelt to the Dark Lord, she knew it was wrong. She knew she was wrong, had become something wrong. It didn't stop her from sinking to her knees and allowing that cursed oath to slip from her tongue.

Yes, the world is a dangerous place. And Socorro Grace Sallow Rosier is one of the reasons why.
