− | * | + | *''Orphea is a beautiful woman with a heart-shaped face who appears to be physically in her late twenties or early thirties. Pale and slender from her years in the lands of the dead, she has warm hazel eyes with long, dark eyelashes, though when her anima flares her eyes go black from corner to corner and take on a slant reminiscent of her totem. Her hair is a ghostly, dead white, often worn long (but this varies), and her fingernails are likewise long and delicately enameled. Orphea favors dark clothing, usually black or purple, of an archaic fashion popular in Stygia, and usually goes barefoot to show off her slender ankles. Her jewelry consists of finely-worked silver kept tarnished black, except for a golden wedding ring on her left hand.''<br> |

− | A beautiful diamond and orichalcum perfume bottle, this artifact usually appears empty. When attuned for 3m motes, the bottle fills itself with a clear golden perfume. When applied (a 2m activation), the perfume's clean, clear scent inspires clarity of mind in its creator, granting +2 INT and +1 MDV (both Parry and Dodge). However, everyone else who smells this perfume instead smells a delicate, carnal musk, inflicting a -1 MDV (again, Parry and Dodge) penalty towards the wearer as they are distracted by erotic thoughts (1wp to resist per day, Emotion effect). <br> | + | A beautiful diamond and orichalcum perfume bottle, this artifact usually appears empty.

Each application of scent lasts for one scene; multiple doses may be stacked to increase the perfume's duration, but bonuses and penalties do not stack. Should the bottle be de-attuned while the perfume is still in effect, its benefits fade over the course of the scene (regardless of how many doses are currently worn).<br> | Each application of scent lasts for one scene; multiple doses may be stacked to increase the perfume's duration, but bonuses and penalties do not stack.

Orphea's best ally in Stygia was always the Mistress, the Councillor of the District of Paper Lanterns and owner of the House of Dolls. In exchange for Orphea's not inconsiderable necromantic and political support, the Mistress aided Orphea in her quest for knowledge. After a significant period of cooperation, the two formed a fast friendship. | Orphea's best ally in Stygia was always the Mistress, the Councillor of the District of Paper Lanterns and owner of the House of Dolls.

Orphea follows the Ajaian school of necromancy, learned from an ancient copy of the Book of Bone and Ebony she found collecting dust in Twinborn's Death. Following the book's instructions, Orphea was guided through the Trials of the Void, culminating in the Trial of Decay. As per the book's suggestion, for her final trial she travelled down to the edge of the Void itself and stared directly into it, contemplating its utter nothingness. In this nightmare-like communion with the dreams of the Neverborn, Orphea found necromantic enlightenment...and something else. <br> | Orphea follows the Ajaian school of necromancy, learned from an ancient copy of the Book of Bone and Ebony she found collecting dust in Twinborn's Death.

When Orphea emerged from her trance, she found herself lying naked in the Labyrinth, drenched in blood and utterly alone. Her hair, which was once nut-brown, had turned utterly white. Though she has long since recovered from the shock of her initiation, Orphea still hears the whispers of the dead titans, something that she embraces as a boon in her quest to become more intimately connected to the Neverborn. But since her trial, Orphea has occasionally noticed an absence in her memory, and has the most annoying feeling that she's forgotten something...<br> | When Orphea emerged from her trance, she found herself lying naked in the Labyrinth, drenched in blood and utterly alone.
