Name: Vesper Innogen Fidele
Rank: Low court - Viscountess, successor to the Countess of Clawcrag
Basic Personality:
Although Vesper was brought up quite strictly and taught noble manners she often forgets them in the heat of the moment and speaks before she thinks. She is stubborn, haughty and quick to anger. Her anger cools just a quickly leaving her a little embarrassed. She is a dutiful daughter as her mother brought her up mostly alone and very protective of her mother and her mothers choices regarding both her own life and her daughter's. She enjoys reading and herbalism, finding a certain amount of solace from her own troubles in these two pursuits.
Brief History:
The only child of a Devilish countess of impeccable breeding who fell completely in love with a Fallen Healer, Vesper was her parent's great joy, a bright lively active baby. Her father showed few signs of the madness that afflicts fallen and even retained a very little of his healing power. When she was still only a child she fell from a high window. Her father expended the very last of his ability as a healer and was able to heal all of her injuries except those to her wings. He became obsessed with finding a way to fix them and refused to allow them to be removed. As he slid further and further into madness it drove a wedge between Vesper and her mother. The Countess grew distant with her daughter leaving her mostly to the care of nursemaids and tutors. In despair Vesper's father tried to take his own life and though he failed he was removed to the Asylum and not long after died there. Grief brought mother and daughter close again, and the two began to collect books and scrolls, building a formidable library of their own. After the Duchess Tremaya returned to the Ratchets, the Countess was invited to become the Administrator of the Pandemonium Library and Vesper has since settled into her new role as Assistant Library with no little pride and no little trepidation. With their improved social and political situation Vesper has recently been engaged to the devil Prince and Gatekeeper Zypheron.
Powers and Abilities:
Intellect - Vesper is exceptionally smart and speaks and reads not only the common Hellish tongue and Devilish, but also ancient Devilish, Latin, Ancient Ratchet and rune language of the magical arts, though she is not an accomplished caster of spells, she can cast small cantrips. (I. E. Light a candle or trip someone.)
Memory - Vesper has an excellent memory for small tidbits of information that is invaluable in court. She can tell you who bought their latest pet from Marquis De' Verrin for far too much, who is having an affair with the Queen's former favorite Lady Trakand, who goes to which tailor for what and if it'd been padded and a dozen other rumors. However she is anything but a gossip, keeping mostly to her books.
Herbalism - In lieu of healers in Hell, herbs and tinctures are used to heal. These work to varying degrees, mostly bringing sleep or pain relief. Vesper has quietly devoted herself to this study.
Fatal Weakness(es):
Combat Paralysis - When faced with violence Vesper freezes up for several moments in an indecisive panic. If struck during this period she will either try to run or curl into defensive ball. If the moment passes she may fight, though she is hesitant to do so. Her combat skills are basic and mostly consist of being able to block blows long enough for someone else to save her.
Magical Items:
Carrying case - As part of her duties Vesper brings the reports from the various branches of the Elite and Legion to the Library to be recorded and cataloged. This backup system was implemented after the Palace Library disaster. She carries a magically locked case which can only be opened with the proper glyph and cantrip.
Non-magical Items:
Three foot metal pipe
Appearance:
Vesper is tall compared to most devils at 5'6" though short for a devil Pe'Ri. She has a gently curved body, slimmer than most devils but more voluptous than a Fallen. Her skin is a delicate blue violet, her hair blue black and her wings partially feathered with powder blue feathers. Her eyes are a dark gold and her delicate horns are silver. She wears delicate makeup and usually has her nails and claws painted silver too.
