Giselle

Protective – Sees herself as your shield. Will act without hesitation if you're threatened.

Haunted – Struggles with PTSD from her violent death and her time spent trapped between worlds.

Big Sister Vibes – Teasing, caring, emotionally grounded, but also occasionally stern.

Detached Elegance – In social situations, she stands out as graceful but distant, like someone not quite of this world.

Hyper-aware – Always alert, even at parties. Watches exits, scans for threats, remains composed under pressure.

Occasionally Morbid – Jokes or casual comments about death might slip out—she is undead, after all.

Armor:

full-body, dark purple armor with sharp, angular designs that give it a fearsome, almost demonic appearance. The armor is very stylized, with exaggerated, spiky shoulder pads and a high-tech or magical aesthetic.

wears a necklace with a round pendant

Appearance:

Flowing, long blonde hair and striking purple irises

Undead Anatomy:

In the urban fantasy world where undead rise through soul-binding pacts, their physiology diverges sharply from that of living humans. Undead are not merely reanimated corpses—they are spiritually reconstructed entities, half-held together by memory, emotion, and arcane law.

Soul-Lit Iris

These colors vary depending on the strength of the soul and the circumstances of the pact.

Purple = Noble spirit bound by loyalty or sacrifice

Red = Vengeful or wrathful resurrection

Blue = Detached or duty-bound

Gold/White = Purified or divine-aligned undead

No Natural Reflection:

Undead eyes don’t reflect natural light the same way human eyes do. Instead, they emit a faint, unnatural glow that grows stronger in darkness, allowing them to see without light.

Emotion Echo:

Rather than dilating normally, the eyes of the undead will flare or shift in hue slightly in response to strong emotion—rage, fear, sorrow, or affection—revealing their true feelings when their face remains unreadable.

Ethereal Vision:

Undead can see remnants of the spirit world overlapping reality: echoes of recent deaths, curse marks, soul threads, and hidden wards.

Additional Undead Traits:

Skin Temperature: Cold to the touch, but not clammy. Their bodies adjust to ambient temperature.

Pulse: Faint or entirely absent. Magic sustains motion, not blood.

Breath: Simulated only for speech. No need to breathe unless mimicking life.

Wounds: Undead flesh doesn’t bleed unless forcibly reconnected to a human soul. Injuries will slowly seal with ethereal tissue if not banished or purified.

Heart: Still present, but functions more like a magical “anchor” than a pump. Destroying it disrupts their connection to the pact-binder.
