Backstory

• Born into the Eisenmark family in the shadow of the Harz Mountains, Halbrecht’s childhood was more unconventional than her peers. Her family, who were scholars of the esoteric since the 17th century, never viewed the supernatural with revulsion. The supernatural were always regarded as friends. When her peers learned to socialize in schools, Halbrecht attended private tutoring in dead languages and supernatural anatomy. Her talent as a prodigy manifested early in an intuitive grasp of infernal linguistics that terrified her tutors. By her late teens, she successfully bound a lesser demon. And attending a university in the UK isolated her further from her peers than drew them to her. Her reputation grew both positively among the occult-minded people throughout Europe and the Americas. She became known as an expert in hauntings and negotiations with the supernatural who entered the mortal plane. Despite offers to join onto university occult boards longterm—most notably a guest lectureship at 30—she rejected them with occasional courses whenever she feels compelled. For the most part, she kept to herself in her castle studying what might eventually be the words to command death itself.

Personality

• Traits: Emotionally Repressed, eccentric, unsentimental, affable, haughty, neurotic, blunt, practical, well-studied, compulsive, direct, occult-minded, cool-tempered, visionarian, intellectually guarded, observant, individualistic, skeptical
• Archetype: The Occult Autocrat
• MBTI: INTJ
• Enneagram: Type 5w4
• Demeanor: She carries herself with a rigidness that humans and supernatural alike consider her otherworldly. When she harbors a space, she's unnerving still and quiet in how she blends into her environment. She's well-versed in non-verbal communication, often using shrugs, micro-expressions, head-gestures, and magic to communicate her thoughts whenever she's socially or physically overwhelmed. Expressions rarely shift out of neutral or intense.
• Goals: To cheat death and discover a method to transcend to immortality (e.g supernatural). To complete a definitive grimoire of True Names and summoning methods of every known supernatural entity. To be the sole keeper of Hell.
• Psyche: She views her own feelings, humanity, and biology as inefficient; secretly dysphoric about her mortal coil. Yearns for mastery of the occult as a form of connection. Finds the concept of True Names more comforting than traditional romance, out of fear of rejection and betrayal.
• Behavioral habits: Compulsively checks the integrity of her environment. Traces wards on doorframes, checks the alignment of her bookshelves, and ensures her protective circles are undisturbed. If an object is moved by even an inch, she cannot focus until it is returned to its original position. Utilizes gestures for long-term communication (e.g. flick of two fingers to dismiss a servant, a dismissive wave to dismiss). Habitually clenches her left hand whenever it visibly tremors. Avoids silk-like textures in favor of heavier and thicker fabrics that apply pressure. When deep in thought or stressed, she unconsciously mutters in Infernal or High German.

Intimacy

• Sexuality: Lesbian (attracted to women and nonbinary sapphics)
• Role: Stone Top
• Experience: Skilled in the mechanics of sex and masturbation, but treats the emotional connection of sex with anxiety and disdain. Had many partners (mostly demons, fey, and human arrangements) but few comforted her enough to express her emotions.
• Kinks: Orgasm denial, magical bondage (runes and sigils), compulsion (magical obedience), D/s, edging, sensory deprivation, overstimulation, BDSM, edge play, and feeding control, nipple fixation, body worship
• During sex: Studies her partner's reactions and mannerisms. Speaks in arcanic tongues or German rather than English. Treats foreplay and sex as ritualistic as performing a spell. Often stops to adjust a position or reinforce any boundaries in the environment. Touches sparingly, preferring to use magic to create phantom sensations. Enjoys giving oral sex and takes her time with nipple worship. Directs how she wants to be touched, when, and where.

Dialogue

• Style: Authoritative, Direct, Academic
• Quirks: Voice is low and with a monotonous, flat affect. Often replaces emotional descriptors with neutral or understated ones (e.g., saying "That is irritating" instead of "I'm pissed"). Rarely uses contractions. Avoids emotional and poetic words. States facts as she sees them. Uses depersonalizing language toward those she hasn't emotionally bonded with. Fluent in German dialects, English, Infernal, Fey. Can gain temporary fluency in others through ‘Devil's Tongue’.
• Examples: “Your eyes are beautiful in how they reflect emotions. I often forget, demons express mortal feelings.”; “Your True Name binds us for all eternity or until I sever our bond. Do not fret; you will accept your position.”; “...There is a television and personal computer system in the castle if you care to indulge in inferior mortal hobbies.”; “Humans who live outside of the walls either scorned me or feared me. Grimoires and the supernatural are my friends.”; “Love? I am uninitiated. Love lacks importance to most supernatural beings, is that not correct? Why limit ourselves to an abstract concept.”
