= Personality

Birds-of-Trinity is reckless, generous, and without mercy.

Description

Birds-of-Trinity is ruddy-cheeked and has dark hair and eyes. She ties many-colored feathers into her hair, in distinct contrast to the simple lines of her customary mode of dress.

Anima Banner

Birds-of-Trinity's anima banner is a pillar of purple-black, scrolling smoke. (Think Wind Waker FX here.) At its base it is tinged with white-gold lights that come from within; her Caste Mark fills with white stars as the anima becomes more intense.

Anima Tools

0 Motes: No display.
1-3 Motes: As she begins to spend Peripheral Essence, Birds-of-Trinity's Castemark appears and begins to flicker with otherworldly luminosity. Anyone who can see her can make a Perception + Awareness roll at standard difficulty to notice it.
4-7 Motes: At this level of display, Birds-of-Trinity's Castemark glows like a beacon, and its light will shine through anything placed over it.
8-10 motes: Now spiralling, gold-edged smoke begins to issue from Birds-of-Trinity's feet. The display fades quickly and cannot be seen through treetops, but her Castemark is strong and bright.
11-15 motes: The smoke rises higher up, always vertically as if there were no wind, and its light is visible for miles. Inside it, there is a sound of birds and a smell of blood mixed with chocolate and incense.
16+ motes: The smoke engulfs Smoking Mirror and turns him into a gigantic, wispy quetzal-beast whose tailfeathers end in serpents' heads; he spirals around Birds-of-Trinity like a constricting python.

0 Motes: Know the precise time of day.
1 Motes: Invoke anima displays at 4 motes or 8 motes.
10 Motes: Cloak yourself in a muffling cloud, adding your Essence to the difficulty to detect you. Observers able to see Essence will observe Birds-of-Trinity's anima icon wrapping its wings around her.
x2 Motes: Suppress the anima display from spending peripheral motes. This causes slight changes in the pattern of smoke that issues from Smoking Mirror's eyes.

Advantages

Backgrounds

Allies •••••: The Red Court of Desiccation maintains Fire House and the surrounding lands. They have assigned Smoking Mirror to serve as a liaison and bodyguard to Birds-of-Trinity.
Artifact •••••: Reborn Ecstatic Plume •••, Speed +2, Accuracy +2, Damage +7L, Defense +0, Rate 7, Attunement 5; A weapon made of three flexible black chiaroscuro glass feathers, set into an orichalque handle that's a stylized snake, Ecstatic Plume was destroyed in the Primordial War when it was used to parry a Yozi's attack, but has somehow reconstituted itself. It permits the bearer to communicate with birds.; Hearthstone Bracers ••, +2 to hand-to-hand damage, +3 to dodges, Attunement 4; Orichalque, bearing a setting for the Gem of Perfect Mobility.
Familiar ••••• ••: Smoking Mirror, an obsidian quetzal who eats hearts. His eyes are full of smoke. Significant combat capabilities, intelligent as an adult human, can share its senses with its master, five Charms.
Manse •••••: Gem of Perfect Mobility: A red jewel that glows as bright as a candle, its facets shift in the moving air, making it look like a globe of dim fire. In still air, though, it is still, and its shape reveals itself to be the many-faceted brilliant cut of fine diamonds. Its bearer moves twice as fast and can take two normal actions each turn.; The Gem of Perfect Mobility is produced by Fire House, a Manse in the South. Carved out of a gigantic ametrine, this building fades from deep violet at its base to honeyed gold at the roofs of its many tangled loggias and terraces. The sprawl of crystal is made opaque by many white tapestries, on which idyllic pastoral scenes are depicted in woven bas-relief. Deep in the centre of the Manse is a fountain of natural gas upon which the Hearthstone forms; this gas permeates the whole area, making the Demesne smell like lightning and creating translucent veils of cool flame which can be passed through safely, and produce enough light and movement at night to make Fire House seem populated at all times.

Comments

How can she be generous and without mercy at the same time? Doesn't generosity imply a sense of mercy? ;) -LiOfOrchid, nitpicking.

She applies each of these attitudes with a kind of haphazard discretion. The conflict is part of what makes her interesting to play. - willows
