Description

Blazing Phoenix still has the outward appearance and mannerisms of a beautiful young woman from the south east with darkened skin, straight brown hair down past her shoulders and inquisitive blue eyes. For inexplicable reasons Cytherea changed her hair colour but otherwise saw little need to improve upon her champion’s body. Instead focusing upon Phoenix's mind, sharing with her new daughter tales and memories of the Creation that once was.

Dressed in simple white robes and no obvious jewelery aside from the necklace that supports her hearthstone amulet one could look upon Blazing Phoenix and suspect she was some form of priestess. Few would easily reach the conclusion that she was a champion of the Demon Realms and that's the generally way that Phoenix prefers it.

To those who can read Old Realm the evidence of Phoenix's nature is hidden beneath her clothing and tattooed in red ink upon her naked flesh. Upon her skin is the story of the god's betrayal (particularly that of Luna), It speaks of how the loss of Gaia broke Cytherea's heart and how Creation is now in decline. Those who recognize the Infernal's handwriting may find it slightly disturbing that these words are written in her own hand, despite the text continuing to areas of her body she could never possibly reach.
