Inktober day 8
In Danish folklore, a valravn (Danish "raven of the slain") is a supernatural raven. The ravens appear in traditional Danish folksongs, where they are described as originating from ravens who eat the bodies of the dead on the battlefield, as capable of turning into the form of a knight after eating the entire heart of a child, and, alternately, as half-wolf and half-raven creatures. … No folclore dinamarquês, um valravn (dinamarquês “corvo do morto”) é um corvo sobrenatural. Os corvos aparecem em canções folclóricas dinamarquesas tradicionais, onde são descritos como originários de corvos que comem os corpos dos mortos no campo de batalha, como capazes de se transformar na forma de um cavaleiro depois de comerem todo o coração de uma criança e, alternadamente, como criaturas meio-lobo e meio-corvo.

The Ohioans suggested it to me.
So say hello to Valravn, a fiesty young king of the streets {or wherever you want it to be!} who's ready to show rivals who's boss!
Additionally, just like with day 8, please don't get rid of their Haemophilia! It's more of a genetic condition than a disability of course, but still I want this guy to keep their clot-less swag since I chose to give them this as a nod to how actual Valravn are born from ravens feasting upon those slain in battle!

When you hear the Old Church bell toll and a sad wail echo through the forest, do not approach. For the Weeping Raven is there, grieving for all she lost.
It is best not to disturb her, lest you want to join her in sorrow.

NACHTKRAPP
In German folklore, the Nachtkrapp (“night raven”) is a giant, nocturnal raven-like bird. Similar legends exist in Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Russia. The Nachtkrapp leaves its hiding place at night to hunt. If it is seen by little children, it puts them in his bag and takes them away, or abducts them into its nest and devours them. The Guter Nachtkrapp (“good night raven”) is a rare benevolent version of the tale, who enters childrens’ rooms and gently sings them to sleep.
"The raven flies in the evening. It will have bad luck, for it can not have good." Dedicated to showcasing everything valravn. (Icon/Header by Zel204)
