Backstory:

Fifteen years ago, while learning the manners and ways of courtly manners, she would find that certain individuals would have what she desired. Namely, knowledge. Working her way through the back doors of government agencies, she would later find what she wanted - the ability to question those she felt had unjustly worked against her.

Through this, she would use it to work favours for friends and for all those whom would have helped her gain this knowledge. Namely, criminals.

She had found herself needing to use certain criminals in order to get what she wanted... but as their request seemed reasonable enough, she would agree to work for them. Namely, by working as a negotiator and helping The Don to work his way through the ranks, with her at his side.

One of her first jobs in this would be to look through a cult which had formed, and were apparently summoning demons.

It turned out they were... and she saw a certain potential. A certain... opportunity. With this opportunity, she summoned a demon. A first circle demon. An Amphelisiae. Playfully going to The Jade Maiden, he was fascinated by her slightly reflective skin, which bared with it a dark green.

But, loyal he was not. But, the question of loyalty remained easy... be done with the ones who summoned him, and he shall be loyal. And so they were 'dealt' with.

In achieving what might be called a butler, and a large apartment all to herself, a larger creature came to contact her. He could promise all sorts of beings at her command... if only she would obey what he asked. And so she did... but the final price was quite high. In exchange for this power, once her time with the task was done... she would need to surrender her soul.

Except that there was a way around this: She never entirely did the ask, which was to kill a very annoying cultist. She simply kidnapped him. And so, she would keep her powers. and would stay as an Exalt of the Eclipse caste. Fitting too that she would never entirely fade away as the Moon would.

Enraged, and with the deal now entirely shattered, she finds herself at the center of attention of other demons, and she intends as her powers grow to make the demon who gave her this power be something to her. Perhaps... her husband. One so manipulative could do well with a supernatural being who found himself outmanipulated by one who was once a simple mortal.

With this, she intends to work her way to find him, and make him hers once and for all.

I dig it. Approved!
