Gothique

---

Gothique was killed shortly after her ascent into adulthood by an escapee from her prison, thousands of years ago. Quetzalcoatl found her remains during an expedition investigating the emergence of ancient dragons (the same one when he found Copperna) and brought her back to the Wyrmwound, where she was reanimated by Procyon. At the advent of her undeath, Gothique reassessed her previous decisions (and the grief they'd brought her). As a consequence, and after extended discussion with Snedronningen who had been an inmate of the Fortress of Ends, she decided to renounce her former profession and become a goth. She managed to get Tarkovskii to bless her hair with highlights in one of his experiments, as well as help with her general markings.

She's mated to Copperna, but doesn't take him very seriously, constantly calling him the Pumpking and pranking him with pumpkins. Gothique lives a chill life as a rebel trash baby. If she ever got her act together, she might launch a serious attempt to abolish prisons and replace them with community-led restorative justice. Until that day, she'll keep up with the pranks and writing awful angsty poetry about being undead (much to the disdain of the actual bard, Yelena).
