Avielle Katarzyna Berkovich (17) is Magda’s niece, Luca’s cousin and the drummer of Edge of the Axe. The daughter of Magda’s younger sister, Avielle’s Polish-Jewish culture is something she’s proud of, with a few of the songs she’s written for the band having Hebrew titles: as she speaks and writes it fluently, as well as having learned Polish from her mom. She unintentionally can seem a little cocky to some people, tied into how aloof Avielle generally is prone to being, and her confidence in voicing her beliefs, thoughts and opinions isn’t always welcomed by those she belongs to the Historical Community with - however it didn’t stop her being voted to the joint vice presidency role, as she’s undeniably sincere in her interest, enthusiasm and dedication.
For her coolness, there’s an undeniable romantic side to Avielle - she jokes it’s a response to seeing how absolutely in-love her parents are - and it’s what’s led to her conspiring with Lorelei to set Stevie Vardy up with a friend of Avielle’s who taught her how to knit. In spite of being the ‘baby’ of Edge of the Axe, she isn’t a shrinking violet in the music scene and at one point stood up to Forest Nymph’s front man when he tried having a go at Alice when they ran into him at a venue, something that shocked him into silence given she’s generally the most mysterious member as far as he’s concerned.
Avielle works on-off at her parents business - they run their own shoe shop, which promotes ethical labour and cruelty free materials - whenever they’re needing some cover, but they absolutely support her love of music, as well as the passion’s of her two younger siblings. Alongside drums, Avielle plays the harp, her ‘calming instrument’ as she calls it, that has been featured in some of Edge of the Axe’s recordings. As she was born just after they graduated university, Avielle’s closest sibling in age is 6 years younger than her, and she tries her best to guide both of them in finding what makes them happiest. Granted, she can’t knock her youngest sibling, whose biggest priority is the family’s pet rabbits: Bon-Bon and Sherbert.
