Orradi Filia

Chosen of Serenity Walking Prayer of Peace

A tall elegant-looking woman of startling beauty towers over you at 6'3, giving you a congenial smile as she bows from her waist. As she straightens up, the sign of Serenity stands out on her pale brow. Something about her very presence radiates joy and peace, and her blue eyes glow bright with hope and stars. Her long black hair is neatly held back in a braid wound into a bun, not moving an inch as she walks with the grace of heaven, the gentle rustle of her skirts in shades of azure, ebon, and ash a quiet accompaniment to the soft clinking of a bell kept at her throat with a black ribbon. A pale gray shirt is under a breastplate that possess a prismatic gleam, the sleeves tucked into bracers of identical metal, and peeking out enough to barely cover her knuckles.

Motivation

Deliver the Souls of the Deathlords to Yu-shan.

Intimacies

I am a Soul Collector of the Bureau of Destiny, I will serve to the best of my ability as such!
Celebrate the world! We have so little that we must delight in every moment of life.
My own patron has kissed my brow and blessed me with glory. I will be a living prayer in the name of Serenity for her.
Someone walks in my memories, a shadow that I can not remember... Who are they and why do they scare me so?

Backgrounds

The Bower of Azure Petals, Celestial Manse 5

Hearth's Home, level 5 Sidereal Manse A manse in Heaven itself, near the Lute itself. It is a garden-manse, with the floral walls as thick as normal walls. The Bower is a little slice of peace, the blossoms lighting up in softly silver hues when it is too dark, and there is an eternal breeze causing the bells and flutes to endlessly play a soothing tune.
Powers: Temple Manse (3, to Venus), Mela's Sweet Whisper (2), Subtle Breath of Jylis (2), Guardian (3, Celestial Lion to keep watch on the temple), Well-Flavored Aspect (1), Magical Conveniences (1, flowers light up when someone enters a room, Canvases record words, erase on command, and print out on normal paper, tea sets that make any tea requested, game sets that play themselves/move on verbal command, (one left))
Drawbacks: Maintenance 2 (Monthly pruning needed)

Artifact 2 (Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers)

Just a pair of humble bracers that Filia was given as a gift from Milcloch in memory of a festival from their home village.

Artifact 5, the Bell of a Thousand Butterflies

Although it appears to be nothing more than a blue ribbon with a starmetal bell with a butterfly engraved on it, with a mote of essence, it becomes a thousand small bells hanging off of the hems of her clothes and threaded in her hair, augmenting her prayer rolls for sending souls right to Heaven.
The Bell acts as a level 5 Soul Deliverer. As an artifact of Venus, it has additional powers that tie into peace and serenity. The bells ring with harmonious tones that sound jarring and jangling to ghosts with destructive intent in their hearts. They find themselves requiring a Temperance roll to come within Filia's Essence of yards, and even then they suffer a penalty equal to her Compassion to hostile actions. The same chiming adds +2 dice to her performance rolls.

Artifact 1 (Starmetal Breastplate)

A simple breastplate that Filia wears at all times. One of the running jokes in the Bureau is that she wears it at all times because she keeps slipping things on her shirt.

Backing 3 (Celestial Bureaucracy)

Despite her youth, Filia holds a powerful position in the Bureaucracy as a Soul Collector blessed by one of the Maidens. Granted, she still runs about frantically as her superior's lackey at times, but her time has been easier than most younger sidereals.

Sifu 3, Milcloch Distewi

Compassion Style, Temperance Style, Silver-Voiced Nightngale Style (Screw the SMA))
A Chosen of Saturn from the very same Northern village as Filia, Milcloch has not had a happy three hundred years. He has witnessed the fall of the Scarlet Empire, the rise of the Endless Void, and was one of the first Soul Collectors. Even as it has broken his optimism, he has kept serene and kind, even as he sang in despair to send the souls of his own home village to Heaven, and then in joy as he guided a newly Exalted sidereal in sending them to Yu-shan herself, and then took her under his wing. Milcloch views her like a daughter, though even heis unsettled by just how devout his young student is.

Merits and Flaws

Bonded Enemy (4)

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Permanent Caste Mark, Beacon of Power, Unbidden Oracle (4)

The favor of Venus has removed a great deal of subtlety from the young Sidereal. On her brow, where Venus kissed her, she bears her symbol and her essence glows forth with even the smallest mote. It has made Filia herself uninterested in resplendent destinies, to say the least.
