"Man tells his aspiration in his God; but in his demon he shows his depth of experience."
-- Margaret Fuller
Deep down in Louisiana, there was a gluttonous man. They say he imagined her in a state of desperate madness. She stood before him; whispering melodious tales of the infinite knowledge, treasures, and power that she could offer him.
Oh, how sweet that sounded and so he agreed.
Her sickly cold fingertips cradled his face, caressing along the creases of his sunken eyes. In a lashing fit, her void-like eyes rolled back as she sputtered hoarsely in tongues. Sinking her claws into him as she clutched him between clammy palms, while blood trickled down the length of her trembling forearms-- his guttural screams filled the air.
They never learn. There is a price to pay, there is always a price to pay.
█████ hex, bless, conjure ████████████████████
While there is an intense darkness that surrounds Cabra, her usage of magic is fairly neutral or "gray". If she feels compelled to, she may use it for more sinister purposes--likewise, she may use it to benefit someone positively. It all depends on her mood, which changes on a whim.
She does not produce "magic" without the necessary ritual. Her magic is only created and effective when she has the exact ingredients and incantation, her abilities are something else entirely.Her concentration in magic stems mostly from the surrounding area in which she was conjured, including predominantly Afro-Caribbean folk magic (hoodoo). Within these, her specialization is communing with the dead, lesser demons, and devils.
-> Santeria
-> Haitian Vodou
-> Louisiana Voodoo
████████████████████ lure, bind, consume █████
Cabra, with the help of the sigils branded on her palms, has the ability to manipulate spirits--even demons in a way. While she consumes food just like any other living being, her real sustenance is through the consumption of spiritual entities. The inverted 7th Seal (Sun) of King Solomon on her left palm is used to imprison or bind the spiritual entity to her, and inverted 3rd Seal (Jupiter) of King Solomon on her right palm welcomes or lures spiritual entities to her. Once she binds a spiritual entity to her being, and finds no further use for it, she will consume it. There is no limit on how many spiritual entities she can hold within herself at one time, and because she cannot control when or how many entities she lures to her, it means those within her vicinity are more susceptible to possession. She is a literal lightening rod for dark spiritual energy.
███████████████ morph, change, transmog ███████████████
Due to the fact that Cabra is not technically a tangible sentient being of this world, as in she was not born as a mammal would, her corporeal body can and does change to appear in any way she finds most suitable per the occasion. That being said, the little chimera does show favoritism for specific forms.
Cabra has been known to take on multiple forms, from haggard old crones to more animalistic, feral manifestations. She is partial to transmogrifying into the appearance of a beastly all-black goat for those more puritanical in their beliefs. However, her two normal forms are as follows:
-> Female. Petite frame. 5'5".
-> Male. Lean, athletic frame. 6'5".
