THE ORPHAN
RAISED AND TRAINED BY ASSASSINS
Her identity as Neera Morgane is so carefully protected that very few people have ever seen what she actually looks like; when meeting clients, she always wears a mask that covers her mouth and nose or a cloak with a hood that hides her face completely, gloves, and black clothing, all of which reveals only her gender. Though her face is either completely hidden by the shadows of her hood or partly hidden by a black mask, her weapons has earned a reputation of their own. The distinctive weapons thus announce her reputation to anyone too foolish to know who they are dealing with.
“She’d learned the only skills that could keep her safe. To escape death, she’d become death.”
― Sarah J. Maas -

October 23rd – November 21st
“There was darkness in her heart, and it spread like wildfire.”
— Celia McMahon
Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It lies between Libra to the west and Sagittarius to the east. It is a large constellation located in the southern hemisphere near the center of the Milky Way. In Greek mythology, the constellation Scorpius was identified with the scorpion that killed Orion, the mythical hunter. Scorpius was significantly larger and comprised of two halves, one with the scorpion's body and the sting, and one containing the claws. The latter was called Chelae, or 'claws' later turned into a separate constellation, Libra, the Scales.
P L U T O
Pluto is called 'The Great Renewer', and is considered to represent the part of a person that destroys in order to renew. A commonly used keyword for Pluto is transformation.
Greek deity: Hades.W A T E R
Each sign is associated with one of four classical elements. Scorpio's element is Water, associated with emotion, empathy and sensitivity. Water signs are also considered to be negative or introverted feminine signs.S C O R P I O N
Scorpions are thought to be rather cunning, sometimes revengeful, and are not afraid of getting their hands dirty. However, with their perceptiveness, they have the potential to see things more clearly than most people.
“But he had no idea what sort of darkness lurked inside her, or what sort of monster she was willing to become in order to make things right.”

POWER & ABILITIES
DE M I – F A E
THE ASSASSIN
“She was a whirling cloud of death, a queen of shadows, and these men were already carrion.”
— Sarah J. Maas
The Demi-Fae are a mix of a Fae and a Human. Demi-Fae are generally seen as lesser and are not welcomed in the Fae city in Wendlyn, Doranelle, unless they prove themselves. Demi-Fae usually retain the Fae traits of enhanced strength, speed, heightened senses, and healing. Some Demi-Fae can also obtain Fae immortality by going through the Settling.
Due to not being completely Fae, some Demi-Fae are born with little to no magical abilities, while some are born with magical abilities. Those who are born with will possess a natural affinity for magic just as the Fae. A Fae or Demi-Fae's magic usually manifests itself in an elemental form; ice, fire, wind, darkness, or magic such as oracle sight or healing. Some Demi-Fae still retain the ability to shift into a mortal form as Fae usually have the magical ability to transform into another form, that being of an animal of some sort.
⎨ASSASSIN⎬As an assassin, Neera is trained to lie, deceive, sneak, and kill by the Assassin's Guild. On one hand, she can be as cold as she trains herself to be, and if need be, will never take her emotions into her work or missions; on the other, she can be rather charismatic (though only when it suits her), usually talking her way into or out of deals – she knows many languages, including Latin and ancient Fae.
Due to her extensive assassin training, Neera is highly athletic and agile, capable of complex acrobatic maneuvers and has excellent climbing skills and body coordination. She also has a gift for stealth, never making any sound as she moves and enabling her to easily slip in and out of areas undetected.
She is thus known for disappearing, quietly, without a trace as nothing more than a shadow on the wind before appearing suddenly again when you least expect it. Her ability to disappear helps her blend into any crowd as well.
With her skills, Neera is considered a valuable asset to the Assassins Guild and an even more deadly opponent with her proficiency in multiple weapons (dual-wield swords, daggers, throwing knives, in particular).
⎨FIRE MAGIC⎬Fire is the main type of magic Neera can wield strongly which stems from her Velaryon heritage. She can generate, shape, and control fire, mostly for combat purposes but she also has the ability to heal herself by using flames/fire. Neera can even control the temperature of the fire at will, thus making her immune to the touch of fire as it will not burn her. Neera was able to manifest flame at an early age, although she had little to no control over it– as she accidentally burnt a part of Orynth's Grand Library. Her control is no better today, as she lacks the training that comes with it due to the unfortunate circumstances that involved the murder of her entire family.
⎨FAE PHYSIOLOGY⎬Due to her Fae heritage, Neera is able to shift between two different forms. Her primary form is her Fae form, and her secondary form is her human body which acts as her animal form. Though essentially humanoid in physical build, the Fae have an unearthly grace and beauty that enhance their features.
As Demi-Fae, Neera has inherited this ethereal beauty, both in regard to her Fae form and human body. Her appearance does not change much when shifting between forms, as she still has her white-gold hair and turquoise eyes with a core of gold around the pupil. However, in her Fae form, Neera has pointed ears and elongated canines, whilst also possessing the Fae traits of enhanced strength, speed, agility, heightened senses, and swift healing.
⎨IMMORTALITY⎬All pureblooded Fae and some Demi-Fae go through the Settling – a time when their bodies are attempting to be locked into immortal youth. It is a rough process, their bodies and magic needing months to adjust to the sudden freezing and reordering of strength and ageing.
As a Demi-Fae, Neera is entitled to go through the Settling which will determine whether she becomes immortal and loses/retains her magic. When she goes through the Settling, Neera will retain her full magic, her full Fae gifts, her shifting abilities, and the full extended life of the Fae due to her great-grandmother's blood flowing through her veins – so that her descendants will successfully transition into Fae when Settling.
