Character's Voidville name: Mikoto Onamuchi.
Voidville background: Mikoto is a retired businessman of vague specifications who now does private piano lessons.

And now his reality is melting. Or something. Yes. He is 47 years old, more than a little eccentric, but a nice guy.

Canon information

Character name and canon: Queen Semiramis
Character background: Semiramis is the daughter of a goddess (Atargatis, a vague version of Ishtar, a purported "maiden goddess", so...that was awkward for her reputation, yes) and a mortal man; her mother was so embarrassed to have fallen for a mortal she abandoned Semiramis at birth and threw herself into the ocean/turned into a dove depending on who you ask. Mommy is not a big part of Semiramis's life, except for how her absence is defining. Raised by horse traders, Semiramis became quite the little warrior, utilizing her unusual nature for the sake of her adoptive tribe. She married young, and when the Assyrian king attempted to crush the horse tribes under his thumb, they fought back.

In the process, Semiramis was noticed in battle, as the lone woman, and one who was suspected to be a supernatural being, at that. The king, having conquered her tribe, declared her marriage invalid and took her for himself, causing her first husband to commit suicide. She subsequently became his first and only wife, the apple of his eye, and his primary advisor. Her military prowess allowed him to conquer many countries in the surrounding area, though his tactical planning was becoming increasingly shaky. He was more obsessed with his seductive young wife than with success for his kingdom.

Semiramis hated him. Passionately. But she needed him, at least until they had an heir--or a supposed heir. The child she bore by him was not his by blood, rather the product of an affair (she never saw fit to inform the biological father of her daughter, either, because she didn't want him interfering), but he didn't need to know that. When he allowed her to play "ruler for a day," playfully indulging her whims, she chopped off his motherfucking head and usurped the throne, citing her child as its future claimant.

It was not a popular move, but the nobility grew to respect her, even if most of them didn't like her at all, viewing her as an upstart and a sorceress who had bewitched their king with her ~wiles~. She assembled her own personal court of handmaidens and women who worked for her, instated laws that said men who hurt their wives would be castrated, and oh, yeah, took over an entire continent (Asia), as well as parts of another (Africa). It is not really clear whether she's the villain of her piece or the heroine, honestly, but she is one hell of a military strategist, and she really likes power.

Character's Voidville name: Nyla Spencer
Voidville background: Nyla is the trophy wife of the former mayor, who is now deceased. She used to work in a seedy rock club/bar, but met her husband young, married him, had a little daughter (now six) by him, and then he died. As with her other incarnation, her daughter is actually the product of an affair, and she is very much still about conquest and husband-killing, secretly. She is kind of terrifying, albeit very polite, and has a lot of employees who are quite loyal to her because of her tendency to pick people out of the gutter, improve their circumstances, and foster devotion that way.

Voidville background: A widower who has the kind of shady background where shadiness is just another layer of mystery over the mystery that permeates this place, but rumour is that he lost his family in an accident a long time ago, maybe there was a kid. He has been to prison for theft/assault when he was younger and spends a lot of time drinking and punching people anyway.

He's an okay guy, though, willingly gets along with people, just doesn't have a lot of friends and might express himself by breaking a window. Has been in Voidville for a while, possibly even a native, though hasn't always been here. He doesn't have any set occupation -- he can fix things, and do gardening, and lift heavy objects. He possesses a smallish fishing boat called The Jolly Roger.

Canon information

Character name and canon: Rapunzel
Character background: Rapunzel is a peasant (half) Romani girl trapped in a tower by a sorcerer/sorceress (left open in case someone wants to app a character who does these things) who basically stole her from her parents when her father was caught stealing from the spellcaster's garden. She was not walled up all her life, but rather at the age of about twelve, when adolescence hit her; she served as kind of a surrogate child for her captor, though it was a really screwed up pseudo-parental relationship where she was controlled for quite a while. Her captor even dyed her hair blonde so that if her real parents ever saw her in the window, they wouldn't realize who she was. "Rapunzel" is a nickname from the townspeople who'd heard of her because it was the name of the tower she was in, and her first name is indeed Celina.

In her mid-teens, a prince happens upon her tower, is enchanted by her singing voice, and climbs up on a rope fashioned out of strands of her magic hair and silk curtains. As in the original version of this story, their relationship is not an innocent one! Her captor is furious when she becomes pregnant, and kills many of the young men in the area out of misguided parental protectiveness, but the young prince manages to escape. Rapunzel flees using a new magic rope she wove when she becomes pregnant the second time, not knowing her captor has tracked down her prince and blinded him. She struggled with two children, searching for him, and seemed to have found him when the curse hit.

Also, it seems that her weaving/sewing is ~magical, as are her tears, but the No Happy Endings curse hit before she could get to the magic healing tears part. :')


Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Celina Gorecki
Voidville background: Celina is a very young (well, she's about twenty-three, but her oldest is seven and her younger kid is is four, so you do the math) single mother from the wrong side of the tracks. Nobody knows who the father of her two kids is, which means there's a lot of unpleasant small-town gossip, and she works two jobs, one in a diner, one part-time in the seedy local bar. She never has a lot of money but is usually pretty sweet, albeit not all fairytale innocence and moon eyes, either. She's known for having a lot of associations with the wrong sort, but she treats everyone the same, regardless of who they are.

Her hair is pretty darn long.

(ALSO SHE WAS BORN IN MANCHESTER, she probably came here at about 12 and retains the accent.)

Canon information

Character name and canon: Martel / The Elenium
Character background: As a Knight of the Church, Martel was a brother-in-arms to Sir Sparhawk, a man who would be closer than blood to him even when they ultimately stood on opposite sides of a line Martel himself drew in the sand.

Martel was born the only son of a wealthy noble family in Elenia, but his blood relatives proved to be largely meaningless to him in the grand scheme of his life; fondly but distantly remembered, his father Lord Romiar, Margrave of Damerel, and his mother an Arcian noblewoman, Lady Veleda (note: details regarding his family beyond ‘rich as shit’ and ‘highly ranked’ are largely headcanon, extrapolated by necessity for a fuller background). He joined the Pandion Order at the traditionally young age, and had he not taken the path he did, he would have come through one of the finest knights they'd seen in their ranks, set to marry well and likely on his way towards the rank of Lord Preceptor. An expert swordsman and handy with a lance, Martel was a brilliant warrior, tactician and sorcerer (as tutored in the secrets of Styricum by the Pandion tutor in the arts, Lady Sephrenia).

It was, she would later say, in part his downfall.

Too clever for anyone's good and too ambitious by half, Martel sought instruction in the forbidden secrets; when Sephrenia refused him, he went looking elsewhere. His family's money, recently inherited, was more than enough to get him what he wanted - at least in the short term. He'd been chosen by the Styric sorcerer Zalasta to act as the opposite number of Anakha, and it was his own ambition that screwed him over. For the forbidden magic and the murder of several Pandion Knights who'd been sent to apprehend him, Martel was forcibly expelled from the Order and stripped of as much of his power as the Younger Gods could take.

Having effectively cut all the ties that meant anything to him, Martel went away from Elenia weeping and swearing revenge - revenge that, as the best and most well-connected mercenary in Eosia, he would spend more than a decade working to get. He aligned himself with Otha of Zemoch in order to get his shot at vengeance on the Pandions in general and Sparhawk in particular, which brought him an uneasy alliance with the corrupt churchman Annias, the incestuous Princess Arissa (sister of the late Elenian King and aunt of his successor, Queen Ehlana), everybody’s favourite alcoholic Krager and an assortment of other charming individuals that he collectively disdained as disgusting human beings. (He wasn’t actually wrong, he was just also a monstrous hypocrite.) Though it took months to become clear, Martel was likely the highest ranked of the conspirators under the dark elder god Azash, acting as tactician, general and cracker of whips. ...or was he, see: The Tamuli for the aforementioned revelations that Martel had been manipulated by Zalasta all along.

(Unfortunately for his repressed conscience, Zalasta never actually forced him into anything; he manipulated the circumstances and counted on Martel’s hubris to do the work for him. It did. Martel, while deeply ashamed, is almost physically incapable of backing down once he’s set himself to something; he considered the bed he’d made for himself and reworked himself into the best of self-made faux-sociopath bastards.)

In short, he sparked a religious and civil war in the Elene countries, intent on subverting the Church of Chyrellos from the inside out, subjugating the continent beneath the heel of the soon-to-be-released-from-his-hideous-captivity god Azash, which would be followed, of course, by setting himself up as Emperor of Basically Everything while Annias ruled the new church and Azash...horrified everyone. His obsession with the loved ones he’d driven away from him (though he preferred to think of it as him having been rejected, which was and was not quite accurate) was constant, but unfortunately meant in several cases that he repeatedly tried to murder them.

He didn't win, of course; plots were twisted, secrets were kept and revealed, Sparhawk prevailed and Martel, his brother's sword through his chest, drowned in his own blood on the floor of a dark temple, his head in his mother's lap. Death ultimately came as a welcome mercy from continuing to live with himself.

They were married shortly after, but he discovered her infidelities when she was pregnant with their daughter, and an angry, ugly divorce followed. He now has sole custody of one Milagros Lefevre, a very serious little girl of mixed race (white/afro-latina) and decided temperament (angry). He moved here a few years ago as somewhere quieter to raise his daughter.

Character background: Petey as JM Barrie wrote him basically but I will go with the 2003 film starring Sumpter and Isaacs a lot too. Peter Pan was a child forever, brash, vain, violent, and generous, with the memory of a guppy. He could fly, mimic a lot of odd sounds, and could do-- and perhaps even create anything he wanted. Tinkerbell was his best friend and his mother and Wendy were the only women he loved, which is only a little creepy. Whenever he left Neverland, winter iced over everything.

Character's Voidville name: Patrick Penn
Voidville background: On paper, he is a C-average community college student, adopted. Formerly also on paper, he was shipped off the island to juvenile detention a handful of times earlier in his youth, once for fire-setting, and the other for accusations of kidnapping, compounded by a few fistfights and petty thefts; the records were since sealed. Granted, in a town as small as this one, that only matters so much. For all that his records suggest he is a generically troubled young man, lacking in motivation, ambition, and kindness, he was known to be affable in person. He tends to parade his moodswings around like a joke rather than a genuine threat.

Canon information

Character name and canon: Xas from The Vintner's Luck & The Angel's Cut.
Character background: Xas is an angel in the literal Judeo-Christian mythology sense, from the lowest (and least bizarre-looking) of the nine orders of celestial beings who reside in a physical world adjoining Earth. They have their own cities, language, and government, and a very martial culture. God discovered Earth rather than created it. The angelic hierarchy, though, he did create, and angels and archangels in particular are an imperfect effort at replicating humans, whose souls he collects, a little bit like a hobbyist pinning butterflies to a board. It's creepy.

For his part, Xas is a preemptive copy of Christ, because God is not actually all-powerful or all-knowing and he needed a trial run to see how things would go if they didn't go as planned. Brief answer: not well!

Xas isn't and never has been technically a fallen angel, but since the nightmarishly bloody hundred-year war in Heaven ended, Xas's home has been primarily Hell. (God and Lucifer worked out a sort of treaty/joint custody agreement to let him travel freely, but his attempts to visit Heaven never ended well.) Since the late 1800s, however, Xas has been grounded on Earth: Michael tried to literally rip his heart out and Lucifer stepped in to save him, but then Lucifer also cut off his wings—not for anything Xas has done, but because bigger things were at play and Lucifer wanted to prove a point to God—and left him with his human friends.

His canon point would be November 1941, at which point he hasn't come to peace with God and Lucifer, exactly, for the whole trapped-on-Earth thing, but he's also no longer sulking like a sullen child. Legally, he's the father of his deceased friend's two-year-old daughter. He also entered the U.S. using the papers of a German military veteran and never obtained U.S. citizenship, so in about a month things are going to start going south for him. But not yet.

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Christoph Hintersee
Voidville background: Chris is twenty-three year old single father, most often employed as a gardener. He has a lot of hobbies and has a reputation for being chatty and easily distracted; only the first part is accurate. He can be freakily focused and patient when he wants to be. He came to Voidville at 16 after violently falling out with his family. He has scars and nightmares and he doesn't like to talk about it. (Christoph Hintersee isn't his real name even by Voidville's standards of realness, but he does speak fluent German, among other things, should anyone question it.) He absconded with enough money with that it's okay that he doesn't always have steady work, as long as he's careful. He ended up renting a room from a now-deceased woman in her thirties, who became his best friend. Two and a half years ago she had a child. Alison isn't biologically Chris's, but Flora knew she was dying and also knew she didn't want Alison's father to have anything to do with her, so that's not what the birth certificate says. Flora died when Alison was six months old, and Chris has been raising her in Flora's house ever since. He's a very well-meaning dad, but not always a very good one, because he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

Character name and canon: Udea (from The Seven Ravens, although there are approximately THIRTY MILLION different titles for the versions of this story)
Character background: This is a story with so many variations that it has TWO ENTRIES in the fairytale archetypes book, but in this case: a young woman looking for her missing seven brothers, who have been turned into ravens/sent away by their wicked aunt, who apparently favored Udea because nothing bad happened to her, just the boys. Udea sets out on a quest that involves befriending dwarves, climbing glass mountains, talking to the sun, moon, and stars, and nearly getting burnt at the stake for witchcraft, which sucked, for the record, but it's left ambiguous as to whether the charges are actually maybe true. The guy who tried to have her burnt at the stake was also her love interest/the king pursuing her as she traveled through his kingdom, which is. Probably not healthy.

But none of that matters, because before she could free her brothers OR get executed, Voidville happened. She and her brothers are all there, but they don't know each other or have the same surnames, because we like being mean.

Character name and canon: “Fitcher's Bird”, aka the third sister from the Grimm tale “Fitcher's Bird”
Character background: hey here's a link to the story!! it's pretty short. Similar to Perrault's “Bluebeard”, a crazy wizard abducts women and ends up killing them in a secret room in the house. The unnamed youngest sister of a family saves her older sisters, tricks the wizard into taking the sisters to safety, and escapes while her family enlists help to rescue her, eventually locking the wizard (and his entire wedding party!) into his house and burning it the fuck down. Pretty brutal.

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Dr. Ava Fitcher
Voidville background: The youngest of three sisters, and the only responsible one, Ava Fitcher grew up looking after her carefree, oftentimes-in-trouble older sisters, Rayna and Tania. They were a typical lower-middle-class family on the island, until their mother died and their father started drinking, effectively leaving the girls to fend for themselves. Rayna and Tania's reactions were to mask the pain with partying, while Ava threw herself into school. The years passed (it's sort of a blur, admittedly) with Ava occasionally having to drop everything and go rescue her sisters from whatever mess they'd inadvertently gotten themselves into, and then returning back to her life of studying. She wanted to be a doctor... but her bedside manner was, let's say, somewhat lacking. So eventually Ava finished school and came back to town to be Voidville's one and only Medical Examiner.
She comes across as somewhat wry, a little standoffish, but everyone in town who works with her or knew her “growing up” knows she's got a good heart and really cares about people, despite... well, not really having a lot of time in her life for any, other than her sisters. (And to be honest, she doesn't come into contact with a lot of DEAD ones, either. Time stopping sort of makes for a slow workday at the Voidville County Morgue... well, it's a small town, business will pick up soon. Hopefully.) She's clever-- maybe too clever-- and can talk her way out of a bad situation without breaking a sweat.

Canon information

Character name and canon: 1. a modern-day AU of James T. Kirk from the Star Trek reboot, who is also 2. Sir Gawain from Arthurian legend
Character background: 1. James T. Kirk - where I am borrowing from the information we have for the upcoming Star Trek film, wherein it is suggested Kirk goes above and beyond to be loyal to a friend, and also gets a dressing-down for being a dickhead
2. Sir Gawain - here I am kind of mashing together traditional ideas ("he was a loyal, skilled, and brave knight, one of king arthur's best, beloved by ladies) and modern interpretations (sometimes he was a dickhead but still a good knight)

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Jim Kirk
Voidville background: Self-important swaggering dickhead with a compassionate heart of gold and a scary good grasp of tactics and thinking on his feet. He's 26, he's been a beat cop for six months, he's excellent at his job even if the execution of said job often makes his superiors despair. Awfully full of himself and constantly in need of excitement, but underneath that he's the kind of friend who would lay his life down for you and have your back in any situation. Which is helpful, because he's as likely to get you into trouble as he is to get you out of it.

Canon information

Character name and canon: 1. A modern-day AU of Freddie Lyon from The Hour, who is also 2. Léandre, Le Prince Lutin/The Imp Prince
Character background: 1. Freddie Lyon, whose wikipedia entry I am not linking due to massive spoilers AND I WANT EVERYONE TO WATCH THIS SHOW :E was a crusading television reporter who investigated governmental and police misconduct, murders, espionage, politics, and corruption while trying to protect people (usually lovely young ladies, usually the reason he got dragged into things) and his job and his show from censors. He is committed to ferreting out the truth and bringing it to light at any cost, he's quite persuasive at getting people to talk to him, and he's not above subverting rules and boundaries to get at the truth
2. The Imp Prince, from French folklore. I am playing a little loose with the details--Gentille gave him the gift of being an outstanding orator as well as conferring impdom upon him, and I am cutting back a few of his magical powers (he can teleport but all the passing through water or the ground, not so much).

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Freddie Lyon
Voidville background: He's charming enough in a "God, I often want to punch him in the face" kind of way, occasionally lacking in social graces or a filter between his brain and his mouth. But he's a loyal and protective friend (especially if you're an attractive lady, though it's not in any kind of prurient way, that's just how he rolls, it's like some misplaced attempt at being gentlemanly), thoughtful in the most roundabout of ways. He's 28, in the middle of a messy and hasty divorce at the end of an even more messy and hasty short marriage, and he's the features reporter at..whatever the major media is on the island (newspaper? tv? I'll roll with whatever works for the technology level)

Canon information

Character name and canon: 1. Rachel Conway, who came from the inside of my head, who is also 2. The Little Mermaid
Character background: 1. Rachel Conway, as seen in an app to an old game--I am removing her mutant superpower for this game.
2. The Little Mermaid, non-Disneyfied. In Rachel's background, the prince has not yet proposed to his princess/the woman he believes rescued him, so Rachel is not in immediate danger of having to kill him or dissolving into the sea.

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Rachel Conway
Voidville background: Rachel is 27, kindhearted to the point of being over trusting, very concerned with telling stories, and talkative. Very talkative, especially when emotional or flustered. She's interested in telling people's stories, especially in, metaphorically, speaking for those who have no voice--but she's a photojournalist and therefore winds up telling stories without using a single word.

And she's been living here for a while, working as an interior designer, quietly getting up in everyone's business. She lives with a roommate, [ XIAOQING/GREEN SNAKE ], and generally goes through men like tissues.

Canon information

Character name and canon: Maid Marian from Robin Hood
Character background: In popular legend, Marian is the love interest of honorable outlaw Robin Hood; in this case, she was partner in crime, albeit initially from the inside of town. She ran away from her parents to join her Robin Hood after being rather aggressively pursued by Guy of Gisborne, one of the lawmen there. She became a good archer in her own right, but also quite good with knives and the throwing thereof. Outspoken in general, she was a bit of an unpredictable element long before she ran off, and probably no one should have been surprised.

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Lea Eshtazin
Voidville background: One half of the local anarchist Bonnie & Clyde, essentially. A tattooed, slightly manic wildchild stripper at the local club catering to those desires, Lea and her big strapping boyfriend Hassan moved to town to hide out after a series of robberies in which distributed the funds to good causes, like strangers on the street in Skid Row or whoever they felt needed it. Also, concurrently to their criminal activities, a cop chasing them got kind of creepily obsessed with her. They were almost certainly at fault for Voidville's one and only riot, in which they got townspeople to rebel against the mayor (the now-deceased husband of Nyla Spencer). When the mayor turned up murdered, they were the most likely suspects, and both were questioned, but there was limited evidence. Many people still openly think they did it, so they moved to the wooded area on the outskirts of town and still are likely to cause trouble if they deem it necessary. Lea is not an unnecessarily violent person, but she is an idealist, by no means a pacifist, and she has no faith in government.

She is notorious for a) dressing like Nomi Malone out of Showgirls--seriously, you can't keep clothes on this woman's body, and b) collecting weaponry. She does not lack intensity, this one.

Character background: Got mixed up in a vampire apocalypse, acquired abilities thanks to the fae/demons, fell for a dead guy whose ex was excavated by the government thirty years ago following an epic battle and I guess I should just write this thing someday. OH WELL.

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Sarala Krishnan
Voidville background: The Krishnans lived out of a mansion on the island, in affluence and plenty since the parents' emigration from India when Sara was 2-years-old. Regrettably, her parents both met misfortune before the haze of recent history. Her mother attempted suicide and was found by a friend, then apparently left to Bangledesh never to be seen again. Though he lost appetite for his business interests, Mr. Krishnan proved an extremely successful state prosecutor until he was shot and killed by the mafia a few years ago. Sara inherited the Voidville house while her brother Neal got a bit of money and art; possibly less than they were expecting.

Sara is new pursuing a Master's in nursing, which may seem like a bit of an underachievement given her pedigree but she still lives in a mansion so no one really argues with her. She maneuvered her way into the local hospital for her rotation site because she couldn't actually afford to be anywhere else. Now she shops for bargains, gossips nosily around the water cooler, and curses the Internet for going down before her subscription to eharmony.com ended.

Character background: Greek hero, descendent of Zeus and Hermes and king of Ithaca, cunning tricksy warrior who helped win the Trojan war, tried to return home heaped in glory and ended up wandering the seas for a decade instead having mostly unwelcome adventures, messing around with witches, and getting a bunch of his friends killed. I think I will take him from during his journey before he makes it back to Penelope.

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Damon Rhodes
Voidville background: Damon Rhodes is the new mayor of Voidville, or 'new' since Nyla's husband sadly passed on. He's a businessman though his business has always been a bit vague. Shipping of some sort? He's a born politician, wealthy and charming and well-spoken, always says the right thing except when he doesn't. Friendly and out-going, likes to play a sort of man of the people role and more often than not pulls it off despite being obviously upper-classish. Said to be ingenious behind that pretty smile, though the less kind would say he's a schemer. People who get on his bad side tend to find their lives mysteriously taking a turn for the worse. Mid-late 30s, divorced, with a rumor of a tragically dead fiance before that, has a sort of world-weary air about the edges that makes his easy good humor seem especially endearing. (Or that's the idea, anyway.) Dabbles in woodworking. Keeps horses. Likes the ladies. Gingery.

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: David Bixby
Voidville background: Mild-mannered, awkward, way overqualified physics professor at the local community college. He had a rough childhood (abusive father, dead mother, expelled from middle school for making bomb threats, etc.), followed by a pretty idyllic adulthood. He got a great education, had a great girlfriend, and was given great research opportunities. Then he ruined everything with too much alcohol and a hidden temper. You wouldn't like him when he's drunk. He arrived in Voidville a decade ago and has his life back together, in a tightly-wound, zero-fun, intellectually- and emotionally-unfulfilled sort of way.

Played by?: Mark Ruffalo.

Comments, thoughts, opinions? It'd be cool if there were intelligent life made out of something entirely different from us that we can't even conceive of, like dark matter but even more invisible and undetectable—and the life in that reality can't detect organic matter, either, and we're all living on the same planet and moving through the same physical spaces, even right through each other, without ever knowing.

Canon information

Character name and canon: La Belle Dame sans Merci (along with The Nightingale)
Character background: From the Keats poem of the same name, the Lady appears to be an inhuman witch of some kind who bespells travellers and enslaves them with her magic and love, ultimately abandoning them on a whim. It appears that this is simply her nature. I am mashing this together with another fairytale in classic OUAT fashion however, so: her song is an integral part of what she is. An emperor, calling her "nightingale," had her brought to his court, where she lived for some time. Eventually, however, he became fascinated by a new mechanical, jeweled golem's song; stung at being replaced by what wasn't even a real voice, in her mind, she left him. It is likely this golem was created by an ex-lover and enemy of hers in order to destroy her happiness, as she'd learned a little more empathy and kindness in her time with the emperor.

Said emperor became very ill, but before she could return to him and finish the story with a good ending, Voidville happened.

Voidville information

Character's Voidville name: Laranya "Lara" Merchant
Voidville background: A moody, unpredictable young woman in her mid-twenties; a local, college-educated, went to some fancy school for it and came back after her grandfather died, as he raised her. Her emotional distance is often confused with tortured mystique which historically has inspired a lot of fools to try to "help her" (she subsequently ate them alive). Beautiful and well-aware of it, oscillates between being horribly cynical and just using it to get things. The clandestine mistress of [X POWERFUL LOCAL, I'll NPC or leave it up for grabs on the CR meme], though it's nothing binding or remotely exclusive, she just likes getting her bills paid by someone else and having attention. When she lived on the mainland she worked as a singer.

She can be very charming, and usually prefers to be, but if you actually get past the charm and pretty clothes and looks, it slowly becomes apparent there's something kind of wrong with her and that she can't fully help it. It is prrrrobably a mix of depressive PTSD and some slight antisocial personality tendencies that were, in her adolescence, artificially fostered by another character I will leave up for grabs, though not enough to warrant an actual diagnosis. She's very private, though, so that is unlikely; she keeps all of her secrets and a lot of other people's, too.
