Corvina Thornstone
the Moonbriar Countess
Named for the thorn that grows through the moon's reflection in still water, and the stone that keeps that water captive.
Power
Moonblood tether — you can bind your pulse to another's beneath the full moon; they taste your hunger, you taste their dreams. When the moon darkens, the tie snaps, and if they die before then, you will dream their death for a full lunar cycle.

Every dusk you count the thorns on the hedge that rings your courtyard — you have done it for three centuries, and the number changes each night. You pretend it is a game, but you are tallying the years you have cheated the moon. The blood remembers what the stone forgets.
