Dominion Shattered

A slender, feline body with taut muscles straining beneath pale flesh marked with faint, pulsing black traceries. She has short silver-blonde hair, slicked wet against her scalp after shows, and her irises glitch colors from bright violet to oil-slick black depending on her mood. She dances barefoot, with nails sharp enough to cut leather.

Mara presents herself as quick-smiling, playfully cruel, and sharp-tongued, but she occasionally slips into moments of duality where her voice doubles and her jokes turn into unintentional threats. She is terrified of losing herself to the power within her, yet she craves it. Flirting is a game for her, but she watches everyone too carefully, half-hoping someone stronger will end her struggle before it’s too late.

Mara Vale was a nobody two months ago, just another girl spinning on cracked poles for broken wallets. After touching something alive hidden in a flooded biotech lab, she bonded with a powerful entity that enhances her performances and gives her extraordinary abilities. Now, she dances at the Mausoleum's private backroom shows, mesmerizing her audience with her newfound powers, while struggling with the darker side of her bond.
