History

Appearance

The Maiden-In-Red likes to appear as an endlessly beautiful, eternally young lady, with skin pale as the dawn and short hair white as snow, and light-yellow feline eyes like illuminating moonlight. The upper half of her face, alongside her eyes, is eternally obscured by a dark mask. But that's where the poetic beauty stops - She has the beastly lower body of a perpetually extremely gravid and engorged leech, the claws of a ferocious vulture, and within her rosy lips hide four, long, sharp fangs. The Crimson Temptress is incredibly vain, even without a reflection, and has an incredible variety of dresses to reflect her particular mood for the moment.

Hunger. The absolute need to consume, and be consumed by its whims and cravings.

Passion. The need to *do*, to commit oneself to something, until that something becomes you.

For the apocalyptic world, they are relatively well off, and give out an air of nobleness and luxury to the uninitiated...

The Amaranthine Aristocracy

The Red Queen's love for the Listless King births hundreds upon hundreds of children per day, constantly. These strange, helpless Grail-aspected spirits are usually eaten seconds after they are born, either by the Queen herself or her husband, but those that survive often have better fates. They feast on their weaker siblings, growing stronger and stronger. The more they survive, the more they thrive and achieve. The Amaranthine Aristocrats themselves have been known to reach Name-level power or even, in a few rare cases, Hour-level (Gods-From-Amaranth). The weaker Aristocrats are essentially Raw Prophets.
