Carmilla

"Everyone else can go ahead and live in their beige movie. I prefer mine in Technicolor. They might all look at me and they might talk about me and they might think I'm weird.

And you know what? I couldn't possibly disappoint them.

So let's not.

Instead, let's show them how it's done."

MASK

Though all of only five-foot-three in height (though her fondness for high heels often adds to this), Madam Carmilla often manages to draw the eyes of any room she may occupy with very little effort.Porcelain-pale with ruby-red lips, enchanting green eyes, and flowing tresses of deep, glossy midnight-blue, she styles and presents herself with an air of timeless beauty and an edge of the Film Noir femme fatale. She speaks with a breathy, seductive voice carrying a syrupy-sweet Southern accent, and never dresses in anything that doesn't tastefully flatter her rather remarkably-shapely form - be that expensive evening gowns, elaborate BDSM-wear, or simply an elegant satin housecoat. Regardless of her fashions' style, her wardrobe generally tends toward blacks and reds. She is seldom seen without tasteful accents of jewelry, and generally carries the scent of subtle perfumes.

MIEN

For those with eyes to see beneath the Mask and witness her true Mien, the changes are largely subtle at a glance: Her skin grows even paler and her hair a more iridescent shade of midnight, and her green eyes grow brighter and ever-so-slightly luminescent; her ears taper to graceful points and a pair of elaborate red horns grow from her temples, often easily mistaken for fanciful hair decorations. Looking upon her shadow reveals it to have a pair of succubus-like wings not visible on her own body, but when she is caught in the throes of strong emotions or invoking Contracts they appear at her back, flaring outward in a dramatic display but as insubstantial as an evening mist.

MANTLE

Her Mantle rises up all about her, carrying the scent of a rose garden touched by midnight fog, fireflies dance in the corner of the viewer's eyes, and the soft breeze surrounding her carries the faint sound of pleasured moans and gasps.

Presence 5

Her exceptional beauty aside, Carmilla moves and presents herself with a quietly-compelling grace and elegance. No stranger to being the center of attention whether on the stage or in the boudoir, she is an expert in the arts pf presentation and captivation.

Advanced Striking Looks (Seductive)

While never publicly crude or crass - well, unless a ribald comedy routine or raunchy music number might require such! - Carmilla's powers of seduction cannot be overstated. Every subtle movement, every little gesture, every brief glance,  all effortlessly turned toward drawing the eye and stirring the carnal passions of those in her company....

Sympathetic

It's easy to talk to Carmilla. She's an open book, not afraid to let others close, and despite her Spring warmth, able to easily invoke feelings of pity and protectiveness from others on the finest femme fatale tradition. She would never use this talent for wicked ends, of course....

Mantle (Spring) 3

Carmilla softly exudes the power of her Season, radiating a quiet essence of Desire that stirs the passions and eases the sorrows of those caressed by it. She devoutly believes in the ways of her Court, and is equally ardent in her belief in sharing them with other Lost in need of the Antler Court's wisdom.

The Sage Escort (Freeholders)

Carmilla hold the role of Sage Escort, and takes her duties to the title very seriously. She believes in helping her fellow Lost find peace in their desires - particularly those they find shameful, so long as said desires only involve consenting adults. She is quite willing to let 'clients' exercise those passions with her personally - "it's just sex, darling!" - but beyond just sex, she also works as a counselor and somewhat-unorthodox therapist, and is particularly skilled at salving wounds to other changelings' Clarity.

The Queen of Harlots (Criminal and Nightlife)

While not settled anywhere in particular - she seems quite prone to wanderlust, in truth - the name of 'Madam Carmilla' has begun to circle on the lips of Manhattan's prostitutes and other sex-workers. Abusive pimp needing dealt with? Desperate need for medical care? Just someone to watch the kids for the night? Carmilla is becoming known as someone who can provide such things and more, and as someone who never asks more than simple favors in return...

The Wicked Stage (All)

Carmilla spends most of her nights finding various stages to grace with her presence - though not, as some wags might suggest, at local strip clubs. A consummate entertainer who performs for the love of the craft more than any real desire for profit or fame, she dabbles in everything from the predictable burlesque performances to more-refined dance performances, torch-singing, and even stand-up.
