Prostitute

A prostitute is a person who has sex with others for payment.  Prostitutes are common in the Lower City of Mélusine. Felix Harrowgate is the most well-known prostitute in the Doctrine of Labyrinths, and resumes the job voluntarily during Corambis.

==== Melusine ====
Prostitutes are common in the Lower City of Melusine, and many are raised to it non-consensually, often forced into child sexual labour and slavery by Keepers before they become adult prostitutes. They can fetch higher prices if they are martyrs (masochists), and then additional high prices if they have indicators of what they can take, such as scarring. In Melusine, clients are often known as 'gulls.' 
==== Corambis ====
Prostitutes are known as jezebels in Corambis and Bernatha, where it is a legal and flourishing profession. In Bernatha most jezebels are pledged to a House, such as the House of Chastity, and then affiliated with a pledged brothel (Corbie affiliates with the Brocade Mouse). As a result, jezebels are generally treated with respect and can lay charges with the House of Honesty and the Honest-Men (police) if they are mistreated. 
They have an instantly recognisable dress code, in that they tend to wear bright colours, where most Corambins prefer greys and browns in their clothing. In Corambis, clients are often known as 'fish.'
