Editing Fower that never blooms

===='''The Flower that Will Never Bloom'''====

Daybreak Caste Abyssal

Concept: Adorabysal Engineer with Mommy Issues

Motivation: To give the Cycle of Rebirth a swift kick and to supercharge it so it sucks up the Neverborn themselves, taking the Underworld and every damn ghost (including the Deatlords, especially that bitch the Lover) with it. Call me a little girl after that!

Anima: As the darkness grows behind her it begins to take on the shape of holy symbols which then are torn apart in the swirl of darkness that surrounds her.

===Intimacies===
*Her Mother: She’s dead, but I still hate her!
*The Astrologer who told Esrina what Petra would become: I hate him, I think he must have been a Sidereal, I’ll find him and get him!
*The Black Pram: I may not be happy with the name, but I really love my war strider
*Orphea: She’s my friend, and I like her.
*The Lover: She’s a bitch!
*The Glorious Factory of the Setting Sun: My manse, it gave me the stone I needed to escape, and I feel both ill at ease and at peace there.
*Soul Mirror: Creepy, and weird, but keeping it is a way to get back at Lover, and it really is good at chopping people.

===Physical===
*Strength: 3
*Dexterity: 4
*Stamina: 2

Seeing as she spent a lot of time in a nursery, she did not get too many chances to build up her strength or endurance, but she is reasonably agile.

===Social===
*Charisma: 2
*Manipulation: 2
*Appearance: 5

It’s hard to by inspired by someone who does not quite project an air of maturity, and her attempt to lie are, well, juvenile, but no one can deny her death touched beauty.

===Mental===
*Intelligence: 5
*Wits: 3
*Perception: 3

She is, without a doubt, Brilliant, her mind is fast, and she has a keen eye.

===Caste Abilities===
*Craft 5

Under the Lover’s Tutelage her keen mind was turned towards matter of building and of the more esoteric mysteries, as well as ensuring that years of enforced ignorance were undone.

===Favoured Abilities===
*Melee 5

She can speak a few languages, not be distracted and sing pretty songs.

===Backgrounds===
*Manse 5 (Hidden Factory Cathedral of the Sun, Stone of Perfect Mobility) The Glorious Factory of the Setting Sun

-Flower kept this secret manse of her Mother’s kingdom hidden from the Lover, as well as the powerful Solar Heart Stone that she took from her mother’s dead body. The stone is slotted into the Black Pram when the Warstrider is active,
*2 Soul Steel Skin Mount Amulets

-The Lover enjoyed having these two settings implanted into Flower’s shoulder blades, a lesson in pain, she called it.
*Soul Steel Wings of the Raptor

-Around the skin mounts, and across her back are fine and beautiful tattoos of soul steel that make Flower with a pair of wings. When she commits the motes to them they tear free of her skin in a spray of blood to become a pair of full sized wings.
*Whispers 3

-The Neverborn speak to her
*Cult 2

-While Flower never went out of her way to attract mortal prayers, she is both dangerous and stands out, and people have begun to pray to her in secret.
*Allies 2

-Fox and Wolf are a pair of Terrestrial Exalted who were servants of the Lover. The Lover put Flower under their care when she sent the Death Knight to her nursery. Fox and Wolf continue to travel with Flower, doing their best to take care of her.
*Level 5 Earth Fortress Manse, Iron Soul Stone, slotted into the Black Pram’s flight system when in use. The manse is called the Bastion that Breaks the Wylds Teeth.
*Level 5 Earth Research Manse, Gem of Immortality, stone slotted into the skin mount over her right shoulder blade. The manse is called the Geode Laboratory of Stone.
*Level 3 Air Manse Library, Gem of Forgetting, slotted into the skin mount over her left shoulder blade, The manse is called Quiet Whispers of Knowledge
*Royal Soulsteel Warstrider - The Black Pram

-Level 5 Flight System

-Warstrider Grand Daiklaive - Ghost Rattle (Lover named that as well)

*Grand Daiklaive Soul Mirror

-She found Soul Mirror in the Quiet Whispers of Knowledge, in a demon summoning sanctum, held by an imprisoned demon. She not only had to puzzle out how to break the shields so she might enter, but then she had to defeat a demon holding a very powerful blade. It took her a week to accomplish the first and a full night, fighting between the floating rooms of the library, to accomplish the second.


===Essence 5===

===Committed===
*1 to Wings of the Raptor
*8 to Soul Mirror


===Virtues===
*Compassion 4
*Conviction 4
*Valour 3

Flower is fairly kind for a Death Knight, so people die quickly with little suffering, and and she is fairly brave, and certain, but she is easily distracted by shiny things.

==Merits and Flaw==
*Dark Secret 3 - She has Soul Mirror. So far the Lover has been content, apparently, to let Flower run free, but were she to discover one of her own Death Knight (rogue or not) was holding that weapon, well, let’s say Flower would be in for a long time out.
*Eidetic Memory 3BP She remembers everything perfectly and so...
*Nightmares -3BP, some things are better forgotten
*Past Lives 4, she sometimes forgets that she is in the age of Sorrows, and knows she was once something very different.
*Phobia Clowns -1BP, the less said about this part of the Lover’s training course, the better.
