Mircalla Duskanbourne
the Stygian Countess
Named for the hour when light fails and the stream runs black as old blood — Mircalla from the Carmilla legend, Duskanbourne from the dusk-touched brook that birthed her.
Power
You can drink the shadow of any creature at midnight and see through its eyes until dawn; but the shadow must be taken freely, and the creature forgets the loss by sunrise.

Every dusk, you trace the stream from its source to the hollow where you first woke. The water runs cold even in summer, and you have never found another living soul who would drink from it. You remember the taste of that first mouthful — like iron and forgetting.
