}}'''The Princess Prominent''' ('''The Ravager''', '''The Life-Bringer''') is the Twelfth Thirteenth Hour of the Fansus, created by [[User:Anaconda_With_Sword|Anaconda With Sword]]. Her aspects are [[:Category:Grail (Vol. II)|Grail]], [[:Category:Knock (Vol. II)|Knock]], and [[:Category:Lantern (Vol. II)|Lantern]] in decreasing order of importance. The Princess Prominent was born at the split between the [[The Fifth History|Unrealized Moth]] and the [[The Sixth History|Ashen Edge]], where one History shattered itself in war and another smothered itself in peace. Hers is the tongue that licks life from the desolate wastelands, and hers the fangs that crush the mightiest works of man.
Her tarot card is the Hanged Man.
== Description ==
=== Appearance ===
The Princess Prominent appears as a great, black feline with the night sky in her fur. All the stars and galaxies spin as she moves, and their lives and deaths play out as she washes herself. A rusted collar adorns her neck, and a blooming deathly-white vine in full bloom wraps itself arpund around her tail. As the Princess Prominent, her form is that of a sleek and well-fed housecat, if a housecat grew large enough to block out the sky. As the Life-Bringer, she is a pregnant wildcat, perhaps a serval or ocelot, and her decaying collar is diamond-studded. As the Ravager, her collar is made of rusting chain, and she bears the shape of a starving panther, with saber-like fangs.
=== Principles ===
The As the Life-Bringer, the Princess Prominent was born at presides over births and beginnings, and new growth. This is the split between face which may heal a fallow field, if the Wailing Winter proper invocations are made, and the proper protections put in place. However, the Life-Bringer is a contrary creature, and is just as likely to strangle a metropolis with an unrestrained jungle as she is to encourage a good harvest. The sacred places of this aspect of the Princess Prominent are lushly-growing fields in volcanic soil, abandoned cities being retaken by forest, and all places which were once barren and now teem with life. After the peace treaty of the Ashen Edge, certain rites were ceremonially burnt, the ones which could garner the full attention of this face amongst them. Hers is  As the Ravager, the tongue that licks Princess Prominent devours life , from the wasteland greatest beast down to the littlest seed. This face consumes the crop, leaving drought in her wake. The Ravager has sometimes been invoked in times of siege, but she is equally as contrary as the Life-Bringer, and it can never be certain whether she will spoil the food behind the walls of the castle or simply send the tsunami to wash it away. For this aspect of winterthe Princess Prominent, fallow fields, broken cities, and hers dead lands are sacred to her. After the great cataclysm of the Unrealized Moth, the rites to gain the fangs full attention of this face were lost, and only broken shards of that crush knowledge might still be found amongst the mightiest works ruins of that history. The primary face of manthe Princess Prominent is the one which this Hour is typically known by. This face is the only one which has been known to speak, although she is never particularly helpful. If properly invoked, and properly compensated, the Princess Prominent has been known to provide revelations and secrets, although her price is steep, and she can only be invoked three times, regardless of whether or not she chooses to help the petitioner. At the fourth invocation, petitioners are taken by the Princess, and none can say where they have gone nor what has become of them. Assistants not taken are driven mad by the experience, and have no useful things to say.
