Description: 5'2" of height, and slimly built, with raven hair,
deep sea-blue eyes, and pale of complexion.
Pattern Imprint [ 50 ]
Sorcery [ 15 ]
Familiar: Shadowcat [ 15 ]
Shadowcat is a creature whom she first encountered when
wandering through Shadow out of Avalon. He is of distant Chaos
blood, perhaps, but also something more. He may appear as any
feline -- which is limited to a distinctive class, but may
include any Shadow feline from the elephantine Aslan, giant
pouncers of the Shadow Ri'ik, to the blind Nightstalkers of
Erebus, who use sonar like Earth's bats.
His flesh, in all forms is like iron: twice as strong as the
creatures he imitates, and very tough to wound. His skin is not
too difficult to breach, but his flesh and bones are quite
solid. Further, his claws are always supernaturally long and
deadly. His stamina and healing, however, are normal for the
animals he imitates. He is naturally intelligent and
thoughtful, but his mind is cloaked from psychic detection. In
personality, he is like his totem -- self-assured and
independent, but he is also utterly devoted to his mistress,
and willingly acts as her bodygaurd and near constant
companion. She typically walks about with several intelligent
cats from Erebus, one of which is secretly him. While he cannot
walk through shadow on his own, he can follow the trail of
someone ahead.
Soulguard Amulet [ 11 ]
This amulet was a gift from Edward, which confers immunity to
conventional weapons upon the wearer, and upon which twelve
spells can be hung. It consists of twelve jeweled cat's heads
made of silver with tiny sapphire eyes, linked by a threadlike
silver chain with no obvious clasp. It, too, is indestructable,
and is tight enough that is cannot be pulled off by force. One
of the cat's heads is actually a secret clasp, which is opened
by pushing in the right eye with a delicate instrument.
Amber Court Devotee: Florimel [ 6 ]
Family Friend: Fiona [ 2 ]
Personal Shadow: Erebus [ 1 ]
Erebus is a world wrapped in eternal night. Enormous trees, to
which giant redwoods are dwarfs, cover most of the
surface. What little light exists is lost in the leafy branches
of the forest.
Edward is the lord over half of the globe in Erebus, and has
been for the past 240 years. He rules from a wooden palace
called Darkhaven around a tree large even for Erebus. The
people are cliquish and conservative, but fairly industrious,
and have both fear and respect for their conjuror-king. Their
technology is close to that of Earth's nineteenth century, with
several changes: electricity works differently in this world,
and is ill-suited for most technological purposes. Nitrates
combust less strongly in this world, but still work at about
half strength. On the other hand, magic is real, and alchemy
draws out mystical properties from various substances -
particularly metals. While there are not alot of 'gadget' to do
things, their items are more durable and effective using these
advanced materials.
