Orianne Casteras is an Ancient, a copy of humans made by Kespeth Montauk, the "daughter" and Heiress of Sophia Atalar and the best friend, turned girlfriend, of Ciemno Nihifaere.

## Biography

Orianne was made by Kespeth Montauk in 315, a few years after becoming head scientist of the Holy-Kingdom of Levigm, she was created out of deep boredom and using Kespeth's own cells and magic like all Ancients but also with Sophia Atalar's cells making of her a heir of Sophia Atalar and so a candidate for Natas' rulership in the future, like all Ancients, Orianne has a, latent in her case unlike others' patent, variation of the Whispering Plague.

She was "raised" by Kespeth Montauk, at some point asked him what Nihifaere meant, Kespeth answering with silence, sighing and explaining that they were discriminated people but that they were very brave, and one day, as a child, found the frozen body of Varim Casteras that she freed, Varim escaped after thanking her, when Kespeth noticed this, he thought about how this would play out and, a few months later, having heared of Varim's new reputation as an architect and medical man, sent the young Orianne to Varim, presenting her as his younger sister.

It was quick for Varim to discover that, like him, Orianne had an Autility, hers wasn't defined by Kespeth and being extreme regeneration, like all Ancients, she was also unable to die through natural means and able to use magic without having to worshipp Heka.

She lived four centuries and was stated to have links with Satan's sealing within respectively the Black Stone. She is also described to having learned most kinds of magic, even the forbidden magic of Nothingness, once possessed the Blade of Zazgarius and been, so, purified of her Whispering plague. She established in Levigm possessing her own shop close to her brother's hospital selling magic tools.

She met Ciemno a few after he asked something from her shop returning from his fight against Marauer a few weeks before the Blizzard's offensive, learning of his last name, remembering Kespeth's answer and kept the guards away from him. The two met some time after once more and discussed, Ciemno thanking Orianne for what she did and her getting informations on his life. They became close spending most of their free time together, Varim noticing but always claiming to be oblivious to his sister's actions.

When Ciemno learned of his heritage as Ayin's host, the first person he talked to was, when returning to Levigm, was Orianne to make her aware that he was dangerous and asking her if she had some way of controlling it. They became even closer and eventually confessed to each other, becoming a couple.

## Personnality

Orianne is cunning and clever, like any Whispered, a trait she kept, like her manipulative side, even after her purification, she is uncaring to most things like death, something normal as she lived for more than four centuries, she is however loving and protective of the things that get her affection like Ciemno or Varim. A few beings managed to deserve her hatred and Kespeth is the first, Orianne even mentionning that, while purified, killing Kespeth will give her joy.

She is not prideful but is described as self-confident, being perfectly aware of her status as the best witch of the continent of Lucifa, if not of all Sipherion. Like her creator, she seems to be better behind the scenes than acting directly though doing it more often and with better results than Kespeth.
