Age: At least 90
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 99 lbs
Hair: Greying Black
Eyes: Brown
Complexion: Dark

Quotes:
"Heaven will stop me, eventually."
"Really, it took me ten years to build a servant valuable enough that her death would warrant such a display, and you were not part of that plan."
"Ahh, the whispered taste of innocence. I remember well these days of harmless, pointless rebellion."
"There is very little in the world that I am still tied to. I cannot afford to lose any more such connections."
"I don't seek redemption. I merely seek to escape punishment."
"Ah, an illness would imply that these choices are not my own, that I am deluded, unaware of the consequences, and we both know that is simply not true."
Abilities:
Magician: Adrasteia is a magician and has trained in many traditions. She started with studying the destructive spells and rituals of the Shiva-chudail from Bharita, and then acquired some grimoire from a Republican magi family. After that she stole secrets from an Imperial Wu Jen and studied the spirit summoning of the Horder rakbu. Legends say she studied with the mythical Hekate before she began her fall from grace and she has since studied the blood-magic of some of the most hated Maho-Tsukai in Ryouiki. The only tradition she hasn't drawn from are the Volstagg enchanters.
Mirrors: Mirrors are a primary magical tool of Adrasteia's. She can project herself into them and cast spells on objects reflected in them. To a lesser extent she can do this with any reflective surface. The extent of her ability to use mirrors is largely unknown.
Dreams: Adrasteia is able to enter dreams and shape them to her desires so as to give people false prophetic visions.
Fear: Her first ability and primary weapon, Adrasteia is able to instill fear heavy enough to cause heart attacks and death.
Skills:
Manipulation: Adrasteia plays with people's emotions and motivations as if they were musical instruments. This is what truly makes her dangerous, to her the magic she wields is simply one more tool towards the end of making people act the way she expects them to act.
Whips and Knives: Adrasteia is very skilled with the use of knives and whips, though her age does limit her ability in this regard.
Ancient Knowledge: Adrasteia has a large amount of knowledge of the world and the true nature of the ancient empires that stood on these lands ages before her own was even thought of. This extends to the use of several machines left behind by said ancients.
Appearance: Adrasteia appears as an aged, Bharita noble woman who is a well-preserved 60. She seems quiet and reserved even when angry. She is slim and has occasional bouts of coughing such that it seems that she is dying. Everything about her is cold but not uncaring.
Personality: Adrasteia considers herself damned and primarily is motivated to put off the moment of her final death as long as possible. She believes that final success is impossible and that she will eventually have to pay for her crimes. In her youth, she was a free-thinking young aristocrat with a friendly and calm nature, however, the societal measures isolating chudail seem to have eventually weighed her down and eroded most of her concern for other people.
Background: Adrasteia was born to a Kshatriya warrior clan and acquired an interest in ancient myths and legends as well as fighting skills, which were forbidden to women even of her caste. She was eventually revealed to be a "chudail" or magician and had her identity and status stripped from her even as she was given leave and allowance to do all manner of things as she was now a tool of the heavens. She insisted on keeping her name despite all warnings, threats and other measures and eventually came to perform many heroic deeds. Unfortunately, she then murdered her brother and staged a crippling revolution in Bharita before moving on to stir up trouble in the rest of the world. No one is quite certain what actually drove her fall into darkness, but one thing is certain. Everyone now knows her name and assigns it to her.
