During the events of Campaign 3, Echo met Walker and Callum while traveling with her handmaiden, Yarra.

## Description

### **Personality**

Echo is very arrogant, judgmental, and vain, and seems to care for herself above all others. She tends to only help others if something is in it for her. She commonly refers to herself as the most gorgeous woman in the world, and expects all who she comes across to acknowledge both her beauty and title. It is clear that Echo holds many secrets and lies often to get her way.

Despite being a raging narcissist, Echo appears to be kind to those who she deems as innocent, including young Zari, who she felt sympathy towards after seeing her in the Prism. Echo also has brief moments of humanity whilst interacting with her new traveling companions, even sacrificing herself as bait for Walker's sake during Session 10. She does not seems to understand these fleeting moments of kindness.

Echo presents herself as confident, though during her interactions with her patron, Vanity, she appears timid and small. Whenever anything negative happens to her appearance, Echo seems to panic, constantly chasing her need to be perfect.

Echo comes from a noble background and views her many titles as making her better than most, if not all, people she comes across. She holds much disdain for those less fortunate (even referring to her traveling companions as "lowborn"), and sees to be wrapped up in her own head. Despite her narcissism, Echo cares deeply for those that she considers to be her friends. Echo is extremely fond of Yarra, Echo's handmaiden and partner in crime, and even allows Yarra to try on her gowns and make use of the Dollhouse's amenities while she is away.

Echo is an adept swordswoman, and is well versed in few spells, though her greatest talent is as an alchemist and poisoner. She knows her way around venomous creatures and poisonous toxins, and even keeps a collection of both in her Dollhouse. Her resistance to poison makes her all the more curious how these deadly substances work, and often uses them in combat and to her own personal advantage.

### Appearance

Echo appears to be the most beautiful person in the world. She appears human, however she is built from a range of fine materials. Her skin is white porcelain with diamonds and pearls set to appear as freckles, her hair is fine spun gold and with curled edges that are forged to her face, her lips are sharp rubies, and her ears appear to be carved shells. Her eyes have obsidian pupils encased in sapphire and pearl, and are framed by golden lashes. She is the picture of perfection.

During Session 6, "Karma's a Bitch," Echo completely dropped her Mask of Many Faces, revealing a shattered left arm that has appeared to be welded back together with kintsugi. The cracks seem to originate from a golden band around her ring finger, and stretch all the way to her collarbone. The trauma of this crack caused her voice box to be damaged, and her voice now sounds distorted and warped whenever she drops her disguise. Echo also has a golden medallion welded into her back with acid, depicting a snake encircling a globe, the symbol of the Order of Vitriolic Blood.

Echo is able to consistently change her outfits using her Mask of Many Faces, though often results to deep greens, golds, and whites. All of her outfits, while fine tailored and fit for royalty, allow for movement, and she often uses leg slits to her advantage. During Session 6, it was also revealed that Echo's base outfit is a black silk dress with no shoes or other accessories.

After the events of Session 12, "Curtain Call", she colored and cut her hair. Her hair is now a red-gold, and gives off a strawberry blonde tint, and baby bangs accompany her long hair. Her outfits have also gotten brighter, even sporting hot pinks, in contrast to her usual deep greens and blacks.

## Relationships

### Callum Zidane

Upon first meeting Callum, Echo didn't expect much from him, but after he unveiling his Ego form Echo became intrigued by his abilities and his past. She detests his upbeat nature but finds companionship with him in their shared bloodlust and distrust of the Illuminators. She respects him as a fellow noble and as a warrior. After attempting and failing to retrieve Callum's antler necklace for her patron, she expects her companions' distrust, and is now attempting to win their favor yet again. After their battle with the Marionette, Echo pulled Callum aside, wishing to apologize for her actions and admit to stealing from him. She even feels comfortable enough with Callum to share that she once had a name, and appreciates Callum's forgiveness. Echo begrudgingly considers him a friend, and he seems to bring out a lighter side to Echo's dark demeanor.

### Walker

Echo was not fond of Walker upon meeting, though has gradually come to respect and even admire their magical capabilities. She does however regard them as lowborn, even more so after learning of their pirate roots, but has been aided by them many times in combat, so she tries to look past it. Echo is growing fonder of Walker, and she respects them and is intrigued by their connections to magic and the Fluxx. After attempting and failing to retrieve Callum's antler necklace for her patron, she expects her companions' distrust, and is now attempting to win their favor yet again. After seeing Walker's hesitance to engage with their former pirate band, Echo offers herself as bait, disguising herself as Walker and drawing pirates away from the walled city. She has even brought Walker "gifts" as a sort of apology/sign of their companionship.

### Cori

Echo was thrown off by Cori's compassion and kindness after meeting her, though sees potential kinship after Cori expressed sincere apology to discovering the true nature of the Illuminators. Cori has actually been an interesting influence on Echo, after Echo was thrown by how a person could be so genuine and nice to people she just met. Echo wishes to teach Cori not to be so trusting, because Echo herself is manipulative, and knows how easy of a target Cori is.
