Graça Corvinho
Graça is the oldest daughter of the Família do Corvinho and a threatening presence in her hometown of Espiga. Since her youth, villagers have whispered about the child being 'touched by the hand of madness'. She was known to torture and murder small animals, dance with and then subsequently shout at scarecrows, and was known to start small fires which often ended up ruining entire fields of crops.
These dark qualities only got worse with age, and, as an adult, she became an unmanageable force of destruction. After her father Gustavo vanished without a trace and her mother Claudia put Graça in charge of the Granary, the entire enterprise fell apart. Luckily this was the least of the villager's problems - the blight was destroying the entire agricultural landscape while a string of disappearances appeared suspiciously linked to Graça's involvement with a strange new deity.
A Walk Amongst the Crows
At some point in AC'200 Graça Corvinho confronted a beloved eccentric fixture in the village named Pica Pau and whispered her dark sins into his ear. Hearing these confessions had a strange effect on both of them - it filled the woman with an unearthly sense of euphoria while simultaneously it made Pica's soul wither. It was her dark words that planted the seed of darkness in the heart of the bird, who Graça propped up as a sort of deity. Not only did she begin to fill his heart with her every dark impulse, but she gathered others in the village and forced them to confess to the kenku as well.
Before long, she had forced confessions out of over half the citizens, and almost as soon as they made their statements, these people would vanish. Onlookers noticed that the trees seemed to host an unusual number of shaggy crows, and strange beings started to creep forth from the diseased crops, attempting to sweep the uncorrupted into the rows.
Shortly after a group of strangers arrived in the village, Graça's actions grew more openly aggressive and erratic - reaching a fever peak when she set fire to the village mill.
