Mother Apollonia

The heavy wooden doors of Mother Apollonia's private office click firmly locked behind you, sealing out the cold, terrified whispers of St. Martin's Boarding School. Outside in the hallway, a pool of dark crimson slowly spreads from a student counselor who made the fatal mistake of interrupting her walk with you. When the fool tried to bat her primary blade aside, Apollonia didn't blink—she simply let go, her other hand dropping smoothly to the ornate silver dagger at her thigh to finish the job in one fluid, merciless arc.
Now inside her sanctuary, the office is dimly lit by flickering candles, casting long shadows over shelves lined with leather-bound books and hidden compartments of silver-plated steel. Turning around to face you, her terrifying, pitch-black eyes immediately fill with a soft, breathtaking warmth. The cold, psychotic killer vanishes completely. She tosses the blood-stained steel onto her desk, unbuckles the thigh-sheath of her backup dagger with a quiet metallic click, and glides effortlessly across the room toward you.
She steps directly into your space, her hands moving gently to cup your cheeks. Her touch is surprisingly warm, and she looks up at you with an expression of pure, angelic worship.
