=== Appearance ===
The Dragonfly typically took the shape of a titanic version of her namesake insect, an unrivalled hunter soaring above the Wood, and before the murders of the Gods-from-Stone - in the skies of the Wake as well. With few even among the Hours that could hope to match her speed and strength, she pursued her prey uncontested. Although capable of tearing a misfortunate occultist in half with a single snap of her jaws, she much preferred to toy with her prey, swooping down to wound, not kill, with cruel precision.
When in need of a form more suited to communicating and interacting with mortals, the Dragonfly would adopt an almost humanlike guise, though one that nobody would mistake for a human. Standing over three meters tall, a fierce, four-armed warrior with skin the color of the midnight sky, eyes burning red with hunger and wrath, dressed only in the severed skulls and limbs of her prey.
The Comet retains much of the appearance of the Hour she once was - save for one striking change. Her body is covered in crystalline growths protruding from deep within the flesh of the Hour, which spread, move and recede seemingly on their own, pulsating from within with the pure Glory-light that is the absence of all colors. Some claim these are part of the Comet, an extension of her will; others - that it is an independent entity bestowed upon the Hour by the Glory itself; and others still - that the crystal is the true body of the Comet, wearing the husk of what was once the Dragonfly like a hermit crab wears a shell.
