What is "Me and Mr Wolf?"
Me and Mr Wolf is a OC/Canon fic about how Vergil met my version of the Lady in Red, and how they ended up conceiving Nero; inspired by the song of the same name. It takes place before the events of DMC 3.Aside from the prologue and epilogue, it is written from Vergil's perspective.I was intrigued by these lyrics in Bury the Light:
Fire burns
Secret love
Bloodline yearns
Dark minds embrace
Crimson Joy
Does your dim heart
Heal or Destroy?
Besides the obvious references to The Sick Rose by William Blake, I love the idea that there was more to Vergil's relationship with Nero's mother than just a one night stand. It's a really cool parallel to Sparda and Eva's relationship, and ties into Vergil's obsession with gaining his father's power. My goal is to explore Vergil's character and present him with another foil that can contrast him in a similar way Dante does.
I've always found how neat it was that Vergil's partner is also coded with the color red-- so I think having a character that has the same ideals as Dante but a different approach to challenging Vergil would be interesting.
I want to focus on the themes of one's humanity, love, isolation, lonliness, and how different people may cope
with it.
Who is our leading lady?
The Lady in Red, Corinna.
Occupation:
Devil Hunter, Knight under the Order of the Sword
Origin:
Devil Hunting Convent, the sisters of Mary Magdalene
Weapon:
Breaking Wheel, St. Catherine
Personality:
Naive, Devote, Clumsy, Kind, not the brightest :) | A follower, and not a leader.
Background:
Raised as an orphan, Corinna was raised around the nuns of the Sisters of Mary Magdalene. Being one of many orphans, Corinna was desperate for closeness with others. When she learned that the nuns were also Devil Hunters, she began training as one to build bonds with the sisters. When the Convent was informed of the island-city of Fortuna, Corinna volunteered to preform an investigation. She soon found herself enamoured with the city itself, and with some persuation from the general of the Knights of the Order of the Sword, Corinna agreed to become a knight herself.
Theme Song:
weathergirl - FLAVOR FOLEY
Corinna takes her name and looks after the Greek Poet, Corinna of Tanagra. Although the actual model of the Lady in Red has long, brown hair, I preferred the idea of her being Vergil's complete opposite.
Along with her looks being the opposite of Vergil, she also faces similar plights as he does, but copes differently. While they both of abandonment issues and crave love; Vergil rejects his humanity completely to gain power over his life, Corinna embraces her humanity to earn the respect of those around her.
While Vergil's ideology works, he is left alone and sad--Corinna, on the other hand, is easily taken advantage of and isolated.
Her weapon was lifted from Bloodborne's Logarius' Wheel. Again, I wanted another point of contrast with Vergil; Vergil fights fast and effeciently with Yamato, Corinna is slow and clumsy with a giant, Medieval wheel.
If you are ever interested in drawing her, please feel free to!! Send it to me as well so I can stare longly at it :)
