ABOUT

Better known as the Angel of Death, she has falsely been given a bad reputation. Lady Grim does not cause death, but sees to the passing of spirits, directing the flow of souls to keep a healthy balance between life and death. She makes sure no stray spirits wander the earth, and souls are properly set on their path to the afterlife. A task which she has done by herself for centuries. Throughout the years, she has collected many a name and title, and every few centuries settles on a new name and new exterior. Upon further increase in human population, Lady Grim constructed a group of Death Guides to aid her in her cause, choosing only those she sees fit. Obedient, caring, hardworking souls that she personally greets upon death. Lady Grim spends most of her time conducting Death Guide territories, soul counts, and various other factors from the overworld, while remaining in the heart of her own Domain, a place of her own creation. She's strangely kind, but demands only the best from her guides.

The remnants of her time as Archangel are still the cornerstones of her personality, making her observant and tireless, focused and dignified. To her a task half-done is worse than not having done it at all, forcing her to finish what she starts with incredible resolve. She is a perfectionist down to the core, one who does not tolerate mistakes, whether in herself or others. A natural leader and strategist who will not hesitate to take over in order to gain maximum efficiency. In the world of angels and spirits she is a feared entity; not because she is considered merciless, but because she is relentless. She carries herself with pride and grace, aware of her status but uninterested in exploiting it unless necessary.

Her human looks are but a façade; her true form is that of an archangel, a barely humanoid being. In her true form she is over 10ft tall, having an emaciated, almost skeletal look to her with gangly limbs ending in long phalanges. Her skin looks ashen, only growing darker near her extremities. Eyes she does not hold in this form, but her skull-like face sports a five pointed crest that loops backwards. The edges of this crest fray in jagged shapes, the insides smooth. She has no lips, her many teeth set in a wicked grin. Her face often shifts from mouth to beak. Her large black wings unfurl behind her, with the deep-set scars of a previous pair below. Two halos adorn her head. The large one she holds in human form, and a smaller round one set above the middle point of her crest. If one peers at the small one they will be plagued by immediate headaches, if her unsightly features would not do the trick.
