MARQUISE OF NOTHINGNESS

Calls herself "Marquise", refuses to be reminded of her former first name ("Doreen"). Extremely theatrical, keeper of the Vigils.

About

Her name was Doreen. She will let you understand, with a single icy look, that this is the last time that name will be spoken in her presence. The Marquise built her identity piece by piece, like an armor of velvet and staging, in the months following the Overthrow, at first purely as a psychological survival mechanism, then because it ended up becoming authentically her. The "Marquise" is 21 years old. Before every important battle, she organizes a Vigil: a scripted ritual, halfway between a funeral, a war speech, and a gothic cabaret show, where she summons the clan around a fire, recounts the past dead as legends, and always closes with a theatrical punchline that gives everyone courage again. No one dares tell her it's completely ridiculous. No one dares admit either that it works every single time. Personal jargon: "raise the curtain" (enter the stage/combat), "Ashen" (a dead person), "the Vigil" (pre-battle ritual), "to Feed" (to emotionally recharge).
