'''Appearance:''' <br>
Kish is rather lithe and lean for a gnoll, even a female gnoll. She has a mottled dust and brown hide, common to her people, but the comb of the hive that indwells her can be seen on her skin

Uncommon to her people are her amber eyes, where her fellows' are usually green.

Kish is not in the habit of wearing clothing or adornment beyond the belts, pouches, and pack she needs to carry her gear with her into the Heart.

She is always grinning and constantly barking the signature laugh of her kind.

===CORE===
'''IN THE BLOOD:''' You move through the Heart as if blessed. +1 '''Echo''' Protection. Once per situation, when you take stress to any resistance other than '''Echo''', allocate it to '''Echo'''.


'''THE HIVE:''' The sweetlings nest within your body. Some of your organs are replaced with complex copies made from wax by industrious bees. They live within you – a few at first, but as you grow in power, great swarms. Their curious buzzing aligns your mind with the Hive. At the beginning of each situation, clear all Mind stress as incipient madness flows through you and into the Hive. You can never benefit from Mind protection or remove stress from Mind, aside from using this ability.


'''RELEASE THE SWARM:''' You send out a swarm of bees, eager to defend you. Gain access to the following weapon: (Kill [[file:d4a.png|20px|d4]] Spread, Ranged).

===MAJOR===
'''ANNIHILATION:''' Your body is unHeart; it burns through the parasitic world of meat and bone. Against heartsblooded people or creatures, your touch functions as a '''Kill''' [[file:d8a.png|20px|d8]] weapon. As you use it, your flesh roils and cracks, but the swarm repairs it as quickly as it is unmade; your opponent doesn’t have that luxury. Against any other target, it functions as a '''Kill''' [[file:d6a.png|20px|d6]] weapon.

===MINOR===
'''HUNTER OF THE DAMNED:''' You bring order to the Heart with sword and shot. Gain the '''Hunt''' skill. Once per session, when you eliminate a heartsblooded creature, remove [[file:d6a.png|20px|d6]] stress from any of your resistances.

'''MANY EYES:''' Each of your companions is a vessel for your sight. Gain the Discern skill. When you stand still and close your eyes, you can see through the eyes of any of your bees, allowing you to spy around corners or look into closed spaces. You can’t control the bees directly, but you have enough at your disposal to cover the area around you.


'''UNCANNY BIOLOGY:''' Aside from the Queen nestled inside your heart, every part of your body is replaceable by the swarm. Gain +2 '''Blood''' Protection.

==Background, Bonds, and Notes==
Her tribal name is Kish, called The Mad.
* Kish went down into the Heart in search of the Bees. The endless buzz of their wings called to her. And in the deep dark, she found them.

*Waking and sleeping the '''Heart''' is always with her.
**The blood raven is the most common guise in which the Heart visits her dreams, but there are also the scarabs. Flesh eating scarabs that taste like copper and dust.
**Kish knows where the Heart is strongest. She has but to look for the black veins. The more there are, the thicker and longer they grow, the stronger the Heart is in that place.
**Her connection with the Heart changed her eyes from green to amber.
*Kish recently witnessed a Deadwalker die the final death. His blood was a malevolent black stain on the earth. Greyson was with her when it happened. He smiled.
