*'''Appearance''': ''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>

*'''Warform''': ''In her beastman form, Orphea's face morphs into that of a barn owl, and her entire body is covered in light, soft feathers. Her arms become wings, tipped with agile talons where her hands would be. A long tail of mottled feathers trails behind her like a train, and she moves with a sinuous, inhuman grace. Though she often keeps them hidden, Orphea's moonsilver tattoos take the form of beautiful, stylized images based on the Sijanese Book of the Dead, commonly used to guide ghosts on the path to Lethe.''<br>

==Artifact 3: Clarity==
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>

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>

After years of living in the Underworld, counting days by the Calendar of Setesh, Orphea returned to Creation. If she was to become the world, first she must know it. She began to travel, roaming the world, collecting the form of every species she found, and filling herself with the knowledge and essence of Creation. Along the way, she made a few friends...<br>

=Character Summary=
 
Orphea is first and foremost a scholar of the ancient and the arcane. At the moment, she is traveling Creation to learn more about it, and to collect the Heart's Blood of every species that she can. Because of this, she's quite the proficient shapeshifter and has a form for nearly every situation. Her area of expertise, however, is in research and discovery of knowledge. Her powers allow her to digest information from a book in seconds, and in dire straits she can gain knowledge from the blood or brains of humans, elementals, or ghosts. On a personal level, Orphea still plays the matchmaker, peacemaker, and sensible mother for any group she's in, using the knowledge she's gained through experience (and some social Charms) to promote harmony. She also has fairly formidable mental defenses, even if her physical combat prowess leaves something to be desired. Orphea generally tries to avoid combat through flight or intimidation, but if that fails she will attack with all the ferocity of a cornered beast.<br>
