Character's Name: Z'laenna
Titles: Lady of the Lash, Mistress of Binds.
Age: Over 1000 years old, though appears to be in her late twenties.
Gender: Female
Species: War Demon Royal
Appearance
Her usual form is that of a human woman. She is not particularly tall, but is not short either. She has shoulder length silver hair, framing a pale face. Red eyes glow from behind her bands, which are pushed back whenever she considers herself superior to her company. The shape of her face is definitely noble, though a closed, third eye tattoo is covered on her head.
Normally, she can be found wearing a mixture of armor and fine clothe. Her outfit is always colored with the royal purple, and has shoulder-pads that have occasionally been described as 'large enough to land a dragon on.' In truth, they are only large enough to land a falcon on, which is actually their purpose. She rarely wears headgear, and only wears one small earring, though the ear changes. A necklace, with a gem, goes down her low-cut top, meant to throw off people talking to her so she can manipulate them better.
True Form
In her true form, Z'laenna appears in heavy plate armor, with several severe battle-wounds along her chest and arms, including a gaping hole over her stomach that extends through her body. Torrents of blood flow from these wounds. The covered tattoo becomes a real eye, through which she can project her magic.
Personality
Arrogant, aloof and incredibly confident, Z'laenna has a commanding presence. To those she views as her subjects, she is distant, but welcoming, helpful and almost compassionate. To those who do not qualify for that description, she is distant and mocking, treating them as one would a child. The exceptions to this rule are few and far between, normally other Royals. She still tends to be rather sarcastic and her general tone is 'vaguely amused'.
She truly does care for her people, however, and will do whatever it takes to ensure that they will survive. Those who would do harm to her people will find no mercy at her hands. She views her people as an extension of herself, and therefore treats an insult to them as an insult to herself. She is creative and manipulative, enjoying the politics of her position quite happily.
Abilities
Z'laenna is a master of Puppetry based magics. She will use wires as the binding threads, either forging them directly into puppets or using them to bind something else to serve the purpose. She can work magic through her puppets, though at greater cost than if she used it directly. Her most dangerous puppetry is using the wires to bind another creature to her will. While directly overriding someone's control of their own body takes effort, and requires greater effort the stronger the individual in question is, she mostly keeps them under her control with the threat of losing their freewill.
She is a master of earth and water magics, capable of manipulating blood as a weapon, forging it into spears or blades. Her most dangerous asset is her immense reserves of power, which she can use to make her large-scale puppetry possible. She is always accompanied by her familiars, a series of controlled animals and statues that can act as her eyes and ears when away from her.
Her greatest weapon, however, is something known only as the Sovereigns. What they are, or if they even exist, is unknown to all but a few. It is an ability of pure magic, projected through the third eye in her true form. It creates a sphere of magic which brands those struck by it with a powerful curse. Depending on her intention when cast, it can bind the target, weaken them, or draw misfortune their way. Using this ability on an individual will drain her reserves to the breaking point, no matter how much energy she had left.
