• She may spend five motes reflexively to make any music played on her flute count as a social attack with 10 automatic successes on the attack roll in addition to her (Charisma+Performance) pool. Failure to defend against it creates an instant Intimacy of worshipful reverence towards her that cannot be removed through mundane means and cannot be magically excised by any effect backed by less than Artifact 5 or Essence 8.
• She may spend two motes reflexively when a topic of discussion is broached to get an intricately detailed idea of people's emotional reactions to the topic, ignoring all mundane concealment. This serves to illustrate any relevant Compulsion or Emotion effects, Limit Break conditions, Intimacies or Motivations atop the many other uses.
• The hearthstone to her Inauspicious Citadel (the Palace Behind the Waterfall of Tears) creates horrific hallucinations of violated Intimacies, thwarted Motivations, and past traumas in anyone who looks at it while she spends ten motes of Essence. The psychic attack will nearly always cause permanent psychological damage.
• Her grand daiklave, Suicide By Majority Rule, necessitates a successful Willlpower roll at the beginning of each action for any character who is damaged by it to take said action (defaulting to Inactive on a failure, and increasing the target's Limit by one on a botch), at a difficulty equal to the number of times they have already been struck by it. It also is almost painless, as the swirling aura of psychedelic, nightmarish confusion around the weapon negates the sensory impact.

Fluff

She used to be an Eclipse Caste. She was a musician before the Usurpation. Her favored form appears to be about four feet tall and eight to ten years of age, with porcelain skin and delicate features. She never really shows any emotions except fear or rage, but she does feel them.

Has a HUGE self-esteem problem. Doesn't really show it, though.

Three of her deathknights are Ravager of Empires, a bandage-covered archer with Disturbing Voice, Mourner In Maudlin Finery, a sultry necromancer of ultimate bitchiness, and Grim Harbinger On Rusted Wings, who is the new girl and nurtures a pathetic, unrequited love for her mistress.
