## Biography

### Appearance

Temptress is a tall, slender earth pony mare with a pink coat and white paints. She has a long pink mane with purple streaks throughout that she keeps lightly curled and tied back in a ponytail. She also has pale purple-blue eyes. Her uniform consists of a cropped red top with a small chest window and connected red fishnet hem that covers her stomach, as well as a dark red shirt with a darker red hem. She also wears a red eye mask that does not modify the colour of her eyes and red braces on her knees. Her power markings manifest in the form of red gradients on her ears.

### Personality

Temptress puts on a seductive and sultry persona, while on the battlefield, leaning into her powers to portray herself as the embodiment of desire. Outside if battle, however, she is shown to be incredibly intelligent and scientific, being one the premier scientists at Delta Labs and a highly accomplished alchemist. She is often quite mischievous and teasing with her teammates, poking fun at them and frequently making jokes at their expense. Despite this, she is quite close with her team and respects them greatly.

### Powers & Abilities

Temptress utilizes a desire manipulation core that allows her to control any opponent's desires. To end a battle quickly, she often expends a large amount of energy in order to increase their desire to lose and decrease their desire to fight. When this is not an option or is not enough to overpower her opponent's will, she will instead decrease their desire to hit or or increase their desire to have her as a romantic partner, allowing them to attack them in their vulnerable state.

### Books

Temptress appears in all versions of the Delta Host Beginner's Herodex, with her most recent entry stating the following:

> *Temptress is the disruptor for the Wings of Delta, and a powerful one at that. Her desire manipulation core allows her to manipulate all desires - the desire to fight, the desire to attack certain targets over others, any desire that exists - or doesn’t! Temptress can will it into existence herself! Unfortunately, due to the massive amount of energy it takes, willing an opponent to give up simply can’t be the solution to every battle, but that doesn’t stop Temptress from working hard to keep everyone safe!*
