She wishes to create new things. She wishes to create things beyond even the boundless memory of the Fae. And she wishes to weave threads that can reshape the very fabric of reality. [/indent] [b][color=4DC551]Personality Overview[/color][/b] [indent] A master of her craft, Kora commands her talents with endless patience. She chooses to weave a story of creation. She believes in beauty, true beauty bright enough to lessen the growing darkness. Halcyon has become so ugly, so drab, and she has no interest in accepting such unwelcome changes. She fought once, long ago, for her honor and for her house. But no longer. The ancient threads tying her to her past are tattered and worn. Instead, she has bound her thoughts to her work. She permits herself small pleasures, remembering memories of her own. She allows herself small acts of kindness, discrete actions designed to avoid attention or offense. However, Kora knows with every fiber of her being, that there is one unmistakable truth. Nothing is ever free and sooner or later the price must be always be paid in full.

You speak quietly as you fumble with your pocket watch, for you know others are always listening, especially when the subject is magic. Hours pass, but through coin and reputation, you secure an introduction. The vampire grins and says you will need no directions. The door finds you before your doubt overwhelms you. A black maw rising out of the shadows, far too large for human use. Eldritch symbols carved into the door shift with every passing moment. You cannot divine their meaning, not entirely, but it seems a warning and an invitation. Power lies beyond. Beauty awaits. Whatever you desire. Whatever you seek. Whatever you desperately need. Or so the strangers said. You remember the fear in their eyes and the stories your grandmother told you about the mercurial Fae. The door opens before your hand touches the handle. Warm light beckons you forward, soft music playing beyond. You stand facing a woman. No human. No lycan. And no vampire. Her eyes dance with a silver light. Stepping in from the filthy streets, her beauty burns you. For a moment, you struggle to recall why you sought her out. Too late you feel the threads of her magic as they envelope you. You've heard the rumors. The half-whispered gossip. They said she was a Fae noble. An aristocrat, fallen far from grace. They said she had been there from the earliest days. A fixture of high fashion. And a giver of gifts. She offers her hand, smiling faintly. New warmth travels over your skin. The fear leaves you. You remember why you came. She asks for something precious. Something priceless. She covets memories most of all, she explains with a soft laugh that lessens the horror you suddenly feel. A vial of your blood seals the bargain. The memories begin to fade as the Fae tells you to take a seat. For a moment you remember a young woman. Your first love. Her name slips away from your tongue as you try to say it. Her face vanishes next as you fight a sudden urge to violently vomit. Five years of moments leave you in an instant. And then the darkness overtakes you. You emerge into the bright daylight. Restored, purified from the blight of the gloomy city. You are not sure how much time has passed, but for the first time in a long time you feel hope. You feel strong. The dress feels like a second skin, armor for the fight that looms ahead of you. Admiring the beauty of the lacy gown, you fail to notice the door fading out of existence behind you. Besides, you soon remember, you don't believe in any of this fate crap. You're in control of your own life.
