Locket

She/her specifically in the way you refer to a ship :)

"The star of glory," "the blood-fueled machine," "the light you see before you die."

Locket is a prized war machine, made by an unknown dragon. Ever since her sudden appearance, she's wreaked havoc upon others, shredding whatever she pleases. This has brought her many rumors - one being that no one knows if she's plated with gold or entirely made of it, as no one has ever broken her skin.

The lantern on her tail and her eyes glow with Plague magic, which she uses to weaken and confuse her prey. She fights mercilessly - even more brutally to those who show fear. Each kill is scavenged for materials, food, apparel, or anything else she may want.

Some say her machinery runs on their blood, and others say her gold looks permanently stained by it. She's shrouded in rumors, none proven or disproven.

Notes: She speaks in morse code and is trying to learn sign language (hard when you're a renowned killing machine).

Long ago, she had just one name: "The Serpentine." Back when she was nothing of her own - just a prize piece for those who created her. Their precious statue.

She still fought back then, but only rarely. It was more of a disciplined dance: boring, pretentious, and still. Still, the way the world was in The Order... the world she was fighting for.

They imbued her very gears with Plague and Fire. They did not expect that flame to burst? For the Plague to wreak its havoc? It's only natural - that's exactly how they made her!

They created a war machine. They should have known she would never fight for peace.
