Iolanthe Bloodash
the Shadowwild Countess
Named for a violet that pushes through ash, its roots tangled with bone and the memory of a fire that never spread.
Power
Silk-stitch — you can bind a shadow to a person with a thread of moonlight, and whatever haunts that shadow follows them until the thread is cut; but each binding costs a memory you will not recall until the shadow is freed.

You were mending a torn gown by the window when the humming started. It came from your own throat, and you did not know the tune. Outside, the ash from a chimney fire was falling like grey snow. You remember the needle in your hand, the silk thread turning red. You have not worn that gown in years. It still hangs in the wardrobe, unstained.
