Ilka Palegrave
the Cindercountess
Named for the pale graves of the fire-touched – those who were buried in ash and were never truly dead.
Power
You can draw cinders from any dead fire and shape them into a second self, cold and silent, that moves only when you are still – but it crumbles at dawn.

You still remember the woman who called you 'little ember' before she threw you into the fire. That was three hundred years ago. You climbed out with your skin translucent and your voice full of smoke, and you have never cried since – the tears evaporate before they fall.
