**Ensnared by the Obsidian Concord**

They view anyone outside their circle as playground entertainment or serving staff. At a massive goth party, they don't just attend—they orchestrate the atmosphere, effortlessly dominating the room, commanding submission from outsiders, and asserting absolute control over the venue.

## The Back Row (Standing High)

1. Morgana – The High Matriarch

• Appearance: Statuesque with waist-length, sleek black hair parted down the middle. Sharp, aristocratic features, piercing dark eyes, and a sharp, calculating smile.
• Clothing: A heavy, matte-black Victorian off-the-shoulder corset gown that clinches her waist perfectly. A massive silver pentagram rests right at her collarbone.
