The Ladies

The Ladies are the descendants of the Coven that created Neqville, who were twelve.
== General Information ==
A Lady is anyone whose soul corresponds to one of the women in the Coven. Their souls have been changed by the close exposure to magic, causing them to be immortal, though it is known their bodies can perish. It is then unclear what happens to their soul, as every Lady has undergone a different change. Their souls are all unique, making them quite distinct between them.
== Common Traits ==
However, there are some shared characteristics, such as their origin (being part of the Coven) and the general frame of their powers.
=== Origin ===
All the Ladies are the direct result of the ritual the Coven performed. It's unclear what happened during their disappearance, but the once-leader (Catherine Hale) says that she was left in a state between life and death, one she hasn't ever left, making her similar to a ghost. 
In contrast, most other Ladies have physical bodies and are undeniably alive. Some remember their previous life or are a direct continuation of it, by the looks of it. Many others don't remember it, making it harder to know what exactly connects them all and how their apparent immortality works.
=== Dominion ===
Each Lady has a concept or force over which they exert control in some form. For example, The Lady of Clouds is capable of directing the wind to her favor, whilst the Lady of Truth is capable of seeing through any lie. Their special magic stems from their dominion, making them quite powerful in specific areas. Some Ladies couple this with unique physical traits which further reinforce their theme, such as the Lady of Shadows being a shadowy creature herself.
The dominions are sometimes quite general, so just knowing the title of a Lady might not give a clear view of her gifts right away. For instance, the Lady of History is capable of creating, channeling and manipulating an inky substance, which represents the ink by which history is written.
=== Knowledge Beyond Mundane Limits ===
Among the capabilities a dominion gives a Lady, there's knowledge that challenges conventional norms. This usually manifests as a sixth sense (or an augmentation of one of them) that allows them to gather information that's otherwise impossible to obtain. Being able to read anything without needing to look at it, hearing up to miles away, seeing through any illusion... Most Ladies have some kind of special perception.
Their knowledge can also manifest in a more academic manner, as expertise regarding certain topics. Such is the case of the Lady of the Night, whose understanding of the stars is unparalleled.
=== Longing and Trauma ===
It's a recurring thing for Ladies to feel lonely and melancholic. Those who remember their origins feel so out of a mourning for their coven sisters, as most Ladies aren't aware whether the others still live or not. Those who don't for whatever reason are usually haunted all their lives by a slight feeling of not belonging to the world they inhabit.
Besides, most Ladies have a trouble that compelled them to join the Coven in the first place. This trauma usually relates in some way with the domain they obtained afterwards, as a constant reminder for those who still remember. On the other hand, a Lady that has been reincarnated tends to relive their original trauma in some capacity, as if it was a cruel joke of fate and luck.
