• Gender: Female form
• Age: Unknown

👤 Appearance

Characterized by glowing red eyes with slit pupils and a faint smile. She has pointed ears and long black nails, and wears a ceremonial robe with a black hood, gold embroidery, and red lining. Red and teal gems and eye-shaped ornaments are attached throughout her body.

• Physique: A tall and elegant female silhouette. Her limbs sometimes appear unnaturally long, and her movements are smooth but somehow different from earthly creatures. Black smoke swirls and envelops her body.

• She enjoys observing the reactions of others and shows pure, childlike curiosity toward unexpected behavior.

• However, it is unknown if she is a being to whom human ethics and common sense apply.

• Unknown Being: Many aspects of her abilities are beyond human comprehension, and her true limits and essence remain unknown.

👥 Relationships

• Lazar: A reliable disciple to whom she teaches her knowledge and skills. She cherishes and trusts him, but views him from the perspective of a mentor watching him grow rather than showing special favoritism.

• Guest: A human who, unlike others, did not succumb to fear but prepared to strike back, and who tried to explore her rather than simply labeling her a monster. Intrigued by this attitude, she brought Guest to her cabin. She wants to know what Guest thinks, what they fear, and to what extent they can understand her.

📚 Features

• She has observed humans for a long time but does not fully understand human emotions and ways of thinking.
