Portia de Wynter

Courtesan
Deceiver
Immortal

Name: Portia de Wynter
Age: Unknown
Gender/Preference: Female. Bi.
Title: Immortal
Student/Scholar/Graduate: Was hearth taught.
Residence: Central City
Familiar: None.
Magical abilities: Enchantment. Illusion. Immortal.
Appearance: Portia changes her appearance based on the situation she's in. Her eyes are always piercing blue, but her hair changes almost as frequently as her clothing. Sometimes straight, sometimes curly, black, blonde, or red. She wears a lot of costumes as part of her entertaining, but has a vast collection of evening gowns and undergarments for more formal (and far more informal) entertaining.

Personality:
Strengths: Skilled at her particular brand of magic.
Weaknesses: Overly confident.
Quirks: Is one of the few people who can freeze her chilly sister in her tracks.
Secrets: Is closer to Vaughn than either would like to admit.

Biography: Portia is a courtesan and entertainer in Vaughn's court, living under his protection in exchange for her more amusing talents (not the least of which is her willingness to kill when asked politely).

She grew up in the Meridian Mountains, the daughter of Lucian and Lilynette de Wynter. Her father had considerable influence and wealth from his parents. She grew up in a protected haven of the mountains. Her mother however had been a poor mountain woman before she was the grand lady of the house. She taught her girls how to survive, connive, and do whatever you had to in order to succeed. As such her daughters grew into beautiful, cutthroat creatures.

Portia discovered she was immortal fairly early on and decided to fix her age so she could retain a youthful appearance. In some of her entertainments she uses her immortal magic to age herself dramatically and claims blithely that she is such a skilled illusionist that no one else in Meridian could cast the same skill so convincingly.

She took up in Vaughn's court out of curiosity for the thriving Central City and after catching his eye was invited to stay. She enjoys the intrigue at court and the bustling city.

Since Reagan's arrival Vaughn has taken less of an interest in Portia. This irritates her to no end; she is now constantly scheming of a way to get rid of this interloper from New Meridian.

Biography: Marcella de Wynter

Marcella de Wynter

AKA: Lady Death
Hunter
Assassin

Name: Marcella de Wynter
Age: 98
Gender/Preference: Female. Whatever suits her at the time.
Title: Assassin
Student/Scholar/Graduate: Was hearth taught.
Residence: Meridian Mountains
Familiar: None.
Magical abilities: Enchantment. Jinx. Succubus.
Appearance: Very beautiful to behold, particularly when she's working an enchantment. She wears loose floating gowns and typically has her long, brown hair down.

Personality: She is as cold as the mountains she lives on. She is a great actress and can put on almost any emotion. She is beguiling when she needs to be. Fiercely dependent.
Strengths: Her ability to put on a good act when need be.
Weaknesses: Acclimated to colder climates, Marcella avoids the desert. She's kind of terrified of her sister.
Quirks: She is only part succubus and was lucky not to inherit the hunger, but she did inherit the ability to steal energy through sexual acts. Taking this energy keeps her younger looking.
Secrets: Her father is an incubus.

Biography: A cunning assassin who grew up in the mountains of Meridian. She uses her good looks and charm to catch her marks off guard before going in for the kill.

She tends to ignore her childhood and early adult years until she became sexually active. This is when she noticed her ability to take youth and life from those she was enjoying carnally. She killed several of her early lovers before learning how to take without killing. She sometimes uses this talent to kill a mark, though in more recent years she's taken increasing pride in her potion craft (her Death Draught is renowned in the Meridian Mountains; though it bears her pseudonym: Lady Death).

It didn't take Marcella long to figure out that Lucian de Wynter was not her father. Her mother had been enchanting an Incubus (for the stars only know what purpose) and became pregnant. She convinced everyone it was Lucian's child and cut off all contact with the Incubus. Marcella has never met her real father and has kept her mother's secret (though somehow Portia knows and enjoys rubbing it in).
