Shapiffany

Shapiffany is a human living in service to the Lich King in De-Kadia.
== Background ==
Shapiffany was born in disputed territory between the borders of the Bird Empire and the Lich Kingdom to average parents. Life at the borders was incredibly difficult due to the Northern armies of the Bird Emperor plundering the land for resources and the Undead Hordes from the South killing every human in sight.
== History ==
Shapiffany's parents were killed in a raid by the Horde forcing her to flee for her life. For several weeks she fled deeper and deeper into Lich Kingdom territory only to encounter the palanquin carrying the otherwise bored Trevor. Recognizing the danger of the man before her but wishing for the suffering to end, she approached and offered herself to be killed, on the request that she die quickly. Trevor was taken aback by this odd request. After a moment he decided to take the child as prisoner, an unheard of action for the Lord of the undead.
Shapiffany was taken back as spoils of war to the Antarctic fortress capital of the Lich Kingdom. Trevor instructed the girl that since her life belonged to him she would make herself useful to him. Trevor instructed her to serve as a sort of seeing eye-dog to assist his movement. (At this point, Trevor lost all sense of direction due to the effect of Thomas's Stand).
Shapiffany eventually took to her role, guiding the Lich King by means of her leash and helping him to manage his arcane library. Eventually she took to listening to the Lich King's philosophy and after a time, she became the first convert of a human-formed religion surrounding Lich. Since conversion, Shapiffany happily applies herself to her servitude, believing it to be an honor to personally obey the whims of a god.
Shapiffany was present and watching over Trevor's unconscious form during a covert attack by Anthony and Merry as well as the Resistance Leaders, Lilly and Gay Aizen. The attackers initially planned to rescue her from slavery, not realizing that Shapiffany willingly served the Lich King. She was ultimately restrained and taken hostage by the Resistance movement. She is currently held prisoner by the Resistance but psychotherapy does not seem to be assisting her in breaking free of her indoctrination.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Shapiffany seems to be a normal human in almost every way, but she does host a few notable abilities.
* Basic Comprehension of Magic: Having personal access to Trevor's Arcane Library, Shapiffany is capable of the most basic spells. She uses these spells during her daily tasks.
* Fear Immunity: Shapiffany seems to have been born with a natural resistance to magical fear as she was capable of approaching the world's most powerful Lich without going into shock. While serving under Trevor she has developed a complete immunity, though this is possibly because she has lost her fear of Death.
== Trivia ==
* Contrary to popular belief, there is a Shapiffany
* Shapiffany is one of few living humans allowed to live within the borders of the Lich Kingdom. She is also the only human allowed within the confines of Trevor's inner sanctum
