These malevolent spirits were cravers of blood and feasted upon it after ripping a soul free from its mortally wounded body.

ii. Physical Appearance

Height: 1,69 m / 5'54''
Weight: 54 kg / 119 lbs

Svelte and elegant, her appearance resembles one of a divine being, as if she was made of mist and could vanish with the zephyr. The paleness and rather ivory undertone of her skin is very distinctive and creates a striking contrast to her sharp features. Her long, pale white colored hair cascades down her back to her calfs, making her seem even more ghostly. Her eyes, hypnotic and slightly upturned, burn a peculiar shade, a mix between muted yellow and grey, framed by thick and dark eyelashes, her thin brows harmonizing perfectly with the rest of her features. She has a petite, dainty nose, upturned and proportionate. Her full, plump lips are always painted black, almost resembling a moonless night. Heart-shaped face and a small skull, her cheekbones are very prominent and her jawline sharp. She's usually dressed in black clothes, accentuating her skin tone, corsets, skirts and silk always present on her garments.

iii. Personality

Some keywords to describe Helga would be phlegmatic, enigmatic and secretive, her feelings and intentions always hidden and kept away from others. She's a rather bitter and nihilistic woman, however, she's learnt how to be superficially charming as to trick and get whatever she wants from people, sometimes appearing coquettish and empathetic. Sharp-tongued and sardonic, she has a twisted sense of humor that goes along perfectly with her personality. Though she doesn't enjoy interaction with others and prefers solitude, her occupation has forced her not to be reclusive.

She's articulate and astute, resembling a sly fox, her intelligence reflecting on her every word. Rather vain, she shows undue pride in her abilities and achievements. Due to her occupation being related to occultism, her beliefs fall outside the scope of organized religion, believing that being religious and having faith is something typical of weak-minded people.

iv. Miscellaneous Information

She owns a pet crow named Letum.
