Nuira Wingrave

Wraith from a Distant Past

Ringdoll Julia

A disembodied soul with a grudge so great that she not only failed to renounce her hatred, she actually turned against the forces trying to redeem her. After breaking free of the Liminal Rooms (Purgatory), the person now named "Nuira Wingrave" plots to do whatever she can to wreak havoc on the parallel worlds and sate her thirst for vengeance, if only out of spite for the life she never had.

Traits: Sweet at first glance but actually obsessive, conniving, deceitful and somewhat sadistic. Best avoided if possible.
Personality: Nuira is a horribly twisted person, the inner workings of her mind so bizarre that no one can ever predict what she’ll do next, whether it’s to sweet-talk an unsuspecting victim or outright attack them to claim their body. She puts up the front of a cutesy, slightly airheaded teenage girl, often complimenting Missionaries on their personality or appearance, but this is only to draw them close to her so that they may manipulate them for her own gain.

She favors emotionally vulnerable individuals as her prey, taking immense pleasure in making their lives miserable through the power of suggestion. While she may pretend to be your closest friend, it's far more likely that she's actually your worst enemy, and should be held at arm's length.

And while Nuira is by no stretch of the imagination a good person, she still seems to harbor a desire for love and acceptance, although her attempts to gain as much are sadly twisted by her paranoia and desire for control.

Likes: Small feathers, cloudy weather, scissors, being with her "beloved"
Dislikes: Detractors from herself, people who anger her (which isn't hard to do)
Hobbies: Birdwatching...? Maybe?

Abilities

World-Hopping and Body-Snatching

As Nuira no longer possesses a physical body, she moves across the parallel worlds by inhabiting the bodies of Pyranoscope’s Missionaries while they travel in any of the Liminal Rooms. She remains dormant most of the time, allowing the host soul to remain conscious and in control, but her presence greatly suppresses their personality. Nuira can gain the ability to materialize an apparition of her own form by gradually stealing life from her "beloved" host, with her own soul still hidden inside the host’s body. The host will end up dying should Nuira stay too long, but she seldom departs early since it requires her to escape the present world and hijack a passing Room, where she must inhabit an entirely new traveler altogether. Despite what it entails, she chooses to use up her "beloved" until the bitter end, just so she doesn’t have to leave any unfinished business behind.
