Crystal Rose

Crystal's head is spinning. Three years ago, she was doomed to be reduced to a mindless husk, through horrors unimaginable. If that were too dignified, she was then to be sold, to thoughtlessly abase herself until there was nothing left of her. There was nothing she could do about it - her mind and skills were meager at best, and she had no inkling of the arts of war. Like most of the people who survived that trip, she wasn't even let in on Alabaster's plan.

The fighting gave her hope, foolish though it was, that her prayers were answered. She cried out to any god who would listen, for someone or something to aid them.

The Unconquered Sun listened, and gave her Alabaster.

Of course she knows about the Anathema, and that many would call Alabaster one of them. But she's seen monsters in human skin before, and though the Zenith is driven and sometimes cruel, he is also just.

The constant training, drilling, and paper-pushing is beginning to wear on her. At eighteen, she is more skilled than most mortals five times her age could ever hope to be. Her body and mind are so thoroughly infused with Alabaster's training Charms that she has a difficult time remembering just what she is capable of. She certainly doesn't look half as strong - or as sturdy - as she actually is.

Crystal is quick to disabuse others of the notion that she is Exalted. Not everyone believes her, however, and this has not always worked to her advantage. Unless working with one of Alabaster's circle directly, she makes sure she has no less than a fang of bodyguards with her.

While her full name is 'Crystal Rose', she usually just goes by the name Crystal.
