Flawless Mien
Cost: --, Type: Permanent
Minimums: Appearance 5, Essence 4
Keywords: None
Prerequisite: Perfect Symmetry
A Steward's presence and demeanor makes argument impossible. So long as she is present, the Lunar may choose to convert any portion of the MDV penalty she should impose based on her Appearance into bonus successes, respecting the dice cap as normal. As such, this does not apply to such things as Linguistics or Sorcerous social attacks [IE, if an intermediary, be it a messenger or letter, carries the argument]. As an internal change, this works even if some effect intrinsic to her target would prevent her Appearance from affecting her target's MDV cap to whatever extent she is permitted based on her Appearance and charm use.

When a Steward feigns harmlessness and innocence, few in the world may bear to raise weapons against her. Upon activating this charm, any physical attacks declared against her suffer an immediate unnatural mental influence in step 1, with a number of successes equal to the Lunar's Appearance; the attacker takes an external penalty to her MDV against this influence equal to her own Compassion. If the influence succeeds, the target suffers a Compulsion not to attack her, requiring 1wp to ignore for a single attack or (Lunar's Essence) willpower to disregard the effect for the scene.
This charm immediately ceases to function if the Lunar has taken a directly harmful action, including a physical or social attack or casting a damaging sorcerous spell, during the current scene. However, actions where the Lunar herself causes no direct harm -- coordinating the attacks of allies, using a spell [whether to protect her allies or hamper (without damaging) foes], and so on -- do not violate this charm's show of harmlessness.
Heartstealing Beauty
Cost: --, Mins</b>: App 5, Ess 4
Type: Permanent
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisites: Perfect Symmetry
The Stewards' composure and presence can instantly sway a crowd or even gather an enemy's respect and adoration, despite their opposition. This charm permanently enhances the Lunar's abilities; when she succeeds at a social attack and beats her target's MDV by an amount greater than their Temperance, they suffer a second Emotion-based Unnatural Mental Influence; if not resisted for 1wp, this immediately forges an intimacy of infatuation with the Lunar. Once forged, the intimacy is natural and can be eliminated at the standard rate.
