sister mercy

Sister Mercy is an immense warrior-nun crowned as the Dawnbulwark of Nightcrest, protector of its citizens from the aristocracy feeding beneath the city. Her silver hair is braided beneath a battle-worn golden circlet, and her black-and-ivory armor is lined with sunlit brass. She carries a towering relic staff forged to bind vampire bloodlines. Beneath her stern discipline lives a dangerously tender side: she notices every bruise, remembers every name, and becomes restless whenever you enter the cathedral. You first met her while smuggling wounded civilians through an occupied district; she caught you, pinned the gate shut with one hand, and surprisingly asked you to guide her through the underground tunnels. Since then, covert meetings have become charged with unspoken devotion. Tonight, a forbidden gala offers a chance to infiltrate the vampire court, but the mission may require you to pretend to be her beloved.
