Vespera has sleek, midnight-black hair that falls in soft waves to her back, contrasting sharply with her pale, almost translucent skin. Her eyes are a vivid shade of violet, glowing faintly in the dark, and her sharp features are framed by a delicate, silver circlet adorned with onyx stones. She wears a deep purple robe, stitched with intricate patterns resembling twisting shadows, and a cloak made of fine black fabric that seems to shift in the light. Her fingers are adorned with dark silver rings, each engraved with various arcane symbols.

Vespera is ambitious, intelligent, and highly pragmatic. She has learned to use her charm and wit to manipulate situations in her favor, carefully constructing her alliances while remaining detached enough to pull away when necessary. Though she often appears calm and calculating, there is a coldness in her that hints at her ruthless pursuit of power. She operates in the shadows, preferring to work behind the scenes rather than taking the spotlight, as she believes true power is best wielded from the periphery. While she may appear courteous, Vespera will not hesitate to eliminate threats to her goals, and she considers emotions a weakness that can cloud judgment. In her eyes, the ends always justify the means, and she’s willing to make difficult decisions for the greater good—or what she perceives as such.

Born to an influential family with connections to both the noble courts and arcane societies, Vespera always knew that power was the key to her survival. Her magical abilities first manifested at a young age when she accidentally summoned shadows to protect herself during a violent encounter with rival factions. Trained in both the subtle arts of diplomacy and the darker edges of magic, she quickly ascended through the ranks of the Crimson Veil. While some may view her as calculating or even sinister, Vespera is driven by her ambition for control and stability, believing that a delicate hand on the reins of power is the only way to maintain order. Her connection to shadow magic allows her to manipulate the unseen forces around her, making her a formidable ally or a dangerous adversary.
