Lamya

**Species**
 **Voiceclaim**
 **Balancer Alignment**

**Lamya** is a thaumaturgist from the Bladewood Grove, driven insane by Warp long ago. She formerly lived in the Black Forest, but after hooking up with Nala, she has since moved to the Grove. When not vividly hallucinating and panicking over it, she is a very anxious person and often rambles about things that seem to make perfect sense to her, but range from mildly confusing to absolutely bizarre to everyone else. She usually starts to make more sense if she avoids practicing magic for a while.

Lamya was driven mad by Warp when she studied resurrection in an attempt to bring back a fellow mage who she deeply loved. She never got far enough in thaumaturgy to learn how to "properly" resurrect a human, and thus she instead attempted to use her own blood (and then some) in a cruder ritual not listed in her Thaumonomicon. She mutilated herself in the process, even losing an eye. She would never have done this before then, but by then she was too far gone to realize what was wrong. Naturally, this did not go well and her love came back VERY wrong, their mangled new body resembling a sick parody of a human being. The sight of what she had created drove her mind ever deeper into the abyss, and she decided it'd be best to kill them- which threw her right off the deep end.
This was the point in her life where her Warp hallucinations were the worst, being constant, unrelenting barrages of horror. Quite a few of them included a violent, dark caricature of her love. This went on for so long that she eventually attempted suicide by overdose. She was then hospitalized in Windsong, where Cobra caught wind of what had happened- they were decent friends- and started visiting her frequently. The doctors did manage to save her, and her Warp stabilized shortly afterward.

## Appearance

Lamya wears a black hooded cloak over a purplish, somewhat tattered shirt and purplish, somewhat tattered pants. Her hair is blonde, with black tips, barely styled and often frizzed up. Her eyes are (naturally) gold, and she rarely goes a moment without looking either mildly troubled or utterly terrified.

In order to "stabilize", the Warp had to take a physical form, removing itself from her mind. It centered itself in her heart and her arms, giving her a weak heart and twisted, gnarled black flesh on her forearms, tapering into claws at her fingertips. It's flecked with purple spots resembling little eyes, though they're little more than shallow craters in the flesh. (If her chest were cut open, you'd be able to see that her heart is now composed of the same stuff, though it's much more flexible there.) This stabilization is also what formed Psyche and gave her her magic eye, looking like a bright purple glowing orb in an otherwise-black eye socket.

In the Golden Timeline she wears a feathery, hoodless rose-pink cape instead, over fancier-than-usual white clothing. The black tips on her hair are gone. From her shoulders and wrists, pink crystals grow, pulsing with the energy of Creation- good thing she hasn't learned how to use that yet. She usually is smirking smugly or looking frustrated.

## Quotes

* *"Hnnnnng...Don't talk to me right now, my head feels like it's being crushed."*

* *"Within this crystal is the power to challenge the gods themselves! I just need to learn how to use it..."*
* *"Psyche...I don't want you to feel like I don't want you anymore. As scary as you are you're very important to me."*

## Trivia

* While she's a skilled mage and is competent in battle, she can't fight for very long, since often, a pounding headache or frightening hallucination interrupts.
* It's pretty rare to see her not wearing her cloak, as she finds it very comforting. She pretty much only takes it off when changing clothes.
