Background 
Please also read project overview and audition rules
Bonesworth’s character was inspired by Alfred from Batman, and his relationship with Vaelinth/Vaelinthysia is very much that vibe. Vaelinth is reckless, and a lot to manage. Bonesworth is the steady constant who keeps them alive, functional, and vaguely respectable. Vaelinth would not survive without him. 

He was created by Vaelinth from a single stray bone found in the Veil. Bonesworth became Vaelinth’s personal butler, handler, and essentially their memory. If Vaelinth forgets something, loses something, ignores something, or pretends something “isn’t important”, Bonesworth is already holding it, tracking it, filing it, or quietly fixing it.

Vaelinth’s and Bonesworth’s love language is aggressive banter, dry humour, and an unspoken bromance that runs deep. Bonesworth is loyal and Vaelinth trusts him more than they would ever admit. Bonesworth is the only person who can tell Vaelinth “no” with perfect manners and still not get turned into a cow (don’t ask).

Bonesworth was also a huge emotional support in Vaelinth’s gender identity journey, in a big brother way. Advice, reassurance, steady presence, and genuine love. Bonesworth is the only person who really understands Vaelinth in a way no one else in the Veil does. 

Alongside being Vaelinth’s personal butler, Bonesworth also assists in serving One Mother’s Council. He handles messages, summons, deliveries, schedules, and all the practical work that keeps the Sanctum running smoothly while everyone else is busy being ancient and weird. 

When Vaelinth realised how lonely Bonesworth feels, they quietly gave life to the forgotten bones of the Veil so Bonesworth would not be the only one of his kind. It is through that act of secret compassion that Bonesworth meets Bonehilda, the love of his life. Vaelinth will never admit they did it. Bonesworth will never embarrass them by saying it out loud. They both know.

FUN FACT: Bonesworth is my favourite character. I fully invent scenes just to give him more screen time. Supporting role but main in my heart.
