Somnus is almost always very friendly to other demons. She treats everyone like a long time friend, even people she's never met before. It loves to tell jokes, mostly ones younger demons consider outdated and old. Even though it's usually very fun to be around and nice, it can get scary very fast if someone is being rude to it. She doesn't have any experience interacting with humans firsthand, nor angels, but would love to learn about them. She doesn't hold any ill will toward either and would love to actually meet an angel someday...Well, one that wouldn't try to kill her.

Rank and role

Drude demons are a rank of demon that primarily work with nightmares. There are multiple sub-sections of the Drude rank, but Somnus is a Mara. Mara demons, also called nightmare cookers, are responsible for feeding other demons. They do this by collecting the essences of nightmares humans have, and cooking them using special methods.

Mara don't typically get these nightmare essences on their own, and this nightmare collecting task is often given to an Alp. Nightmares when collected into essences come in the form of orbs, the size and color varying on the type of nightmare and amount of fear the human felt. This type and fear amount also determines the taste and flavor. A talented, experienced Mara will know exactly the combinations to make a wonderful meal. Drudes are one spot above imps in heirarchy. There are a large amount of them, though not as many as imps.

Personal history

Somnus was created like all other Mara, via an average summoning. She was rebellious in her younger years, not wanting to become a nightmare cooker but rather she wanted to fight on the frontlines against angels. It wasn't permitted however and it eventually got into the cooking career. Much to Somnus' surprise it actually greatly enjoyed the activity. Since then not much has changed in her lifestyle. She's been around for a very long time and seen a lot of things happen, but she's still enjoying her cooking and learning new recipes and testing new ingredients.
