Primal:Empusa: Difference between revisions

We are first introduced to the Countess and her husband as they utilise thier wraith time bending abilities to hover into the market sqaure in order to collect thier sacrifice.

From the offset Empusa is clearly a proud and snobbish aristocrat (as most wraith are, with the exception of the ghost duke) boasting that the helot are awaiting a 'glimpse of thier masters' and refering to them as 'vermin'. Oddly however, Empusa appears slightly more merciful than her husband in this scene, opting to give the inferior helot a quick death rather than torture and mutiliation (as suggested by Raum 'plucking an eyeball' as a toy for Elizabeth.)

Empusa is next seen in the ballroom, angrily interrupting her daughters dancing and demanding an explanation. She cruelfully derides her daughters attempts at being gracefull ''spinning around like a fat little pig!''. When Elizabeth tells her mother she hates her, Empusas tone briefly softens as she tells Elizabeth she is at least ' a good little wraith'. However this is short lived as she tells Elizabeth she is unsightly, everybody hates her and she wishes she had never been born, reducing Elizabeth to tears. Empusa shrugs this off and sighs ''children''. However one could argue that hatred and affection are one in the same in Aetha and Empusa is acting as a traditional wraith mother.
