The witcher is working.

[gauntermetaverse]

Do you remember the story of Alina and Celina in the first Witcher? And the broken mirror? That was a quest object. Not an ordinary one. The mirror of Nehaleni, a magical artefact with oracular abilities. When it comes to mirrors I become very suspicious. Gaunter described himself to Geralt as a former merchant of mirrors, and that was not just a fable, he might indeed put his special mirrors at markets, and then, isn't it a perfect way to watch, to play, to mock?

The Monster Deck welcomes a night wraith.

A still flame veiled over the hearth, suspended in an anxious inhale amongst the wheatdust gloom.

A single beat of iron-scraping step; a flicker peering into the slender shadow cast across the floor.

Poludnitsa

Poludnitsa is a character common to the various Slavic countries of Eastern Europe. She is referred to as Południca in Polish, Полудница (Poludnitsa) in Serbian, Bulgarian and Russian, Polednice in Czech, Poludnica in Slovak, Připołdnica in Upper Sorbian, and Полознича (Poloznicha) in Komi, Chirtel Ma in Yiddish. The plural form of this word is poludnitsy (or poludnici). Poludnitsa is a noon demon in Slavic mythology. She can be referred to in English as "Lady Midday", "Noonwraith" or "Noon Witch". She was usually pictured as a young woman dressed in white that roamed field bounds. She assailed folk working at noon causing heatstrokes and aches in the neck, sometimes she even caused madness.

In some accounts, she symbolizes the midday star, thereby being the sister of Zarya-Zarenitsa (the morning star; also called Utrenica), Vechorka (the evening star; also called Wieczornica/Vechernitsa) and Kupalnitsa (the night star; also called Nocnica/Nochnitsa); Poludnitsa is the second youngest among the sisters, with Zarya-Zarenitsa being the youngest and Kupalnitsa being the oldest.

Poludnitsa, who makes herself evident in the middle of hot summer days, takes the form of whirling dust clouds and carries a scythe, sickle or shears; most likely the shears would be of an older style, not akin to modern scissors. She will stop people in the field to ask them difficult questions or engage them in conversation. If anyone fails to answer a question or tries to change the subject, she will cut off their head or strike them with illness. She may appear as an old hag, a beautiful woman, or a 12-year-old girl, and she was useful in scaring children away from valuable crops. She is only seen on the hottest part of the day and is a personification of a sun-stroke.

According to some northern Russian regions, Poludnitsa has a giant frying pan in her hands, with which she either blocks the rye from the scorching sun's rays, or burns the rye along with the herbs during the flowering period. She may also appear at midnight and show a person how to find a flower that can make them invisible, as was believed in the Arkhangelsk Governorate.

Poludnitsa, according to beliefs, loves to dance. If she sees a girl lying down to rest in the field, she will wake her up and begin to persuade her to dance. If the girl agrees, she will be forced to dance until the evening dawn. Poludnitsa cannot be beaten in dancing; however, if such a girl is found, the noon spirit will present her with a rich dowry.

My Hazbin Hotel Overlord OC (tw: lots of blood)

Her name is Carol Lily and she died in 1952 when her fiance cheated on her with her sister on their wedding day then went on a rampage when both of their families sided with him and didn't even comfort her, killing them all then herself. I decided to base her design on Noonwraiths as they are the ghosts of brides that died violently on their weddings. Her industry is fashion as sewing was the only thing that calmed her. She is friends with Rosie as dispite being a matchmaker she understands that she is still hurting from the betrayal and doesn't want to risk that again. She always wears the dress she died in as the blood fused it to her skin and has permanent tear stains. What do you guys think?
