—The Mistress inquiring of the kingdom to Cheza
**Vivienne Stillson,** more commonly referred to as **"The Mistress",** is a current Unbound wolf. She is played by **JustVibing#8513.**

## Description

The Mistress is an averagely, if not elegantly built she-wolf with a mostly tan-brown color pattern, and a snowy white, thin tufty tail. Her back and winding neck have darker stripes in the style of a turtle neck, while her lean face is covered in symmetrical, ornate designs and markings.  Her eyebrows and muzzle are white, and her piercing eyes are dual-colored , her left greenish cyan and her right violet.  Covering the back of the neck is a darker mane, the same color as the sheath of her tail. Her soft paws and underbelly are also white, and her back paws have distinct tufts  around her ankles. She almost always wears a golden mask with white feathers and various colored flowers in some way. She is not particularly muscular on any part of her body, although not unfit either, and her fur is soft like that of a newborn wolf.

## Personality

In spite of her best efforts, it's clear The Mistress doesn’t take herself too seriously around others. On any given day, she can come off as vague, apathetic and narcissistic, ready to put down others with witty remarks and cruel jabs.  From the smallest pup to the largest beast, The Mistress will not be silenced by anyone. Still, what past she has come to the conclusion of having she keeps locked shut, and not much can be pried out of her.  If she allows it, The Mistress can be surprisingly relatable and friendly, although not enough to get too deep in her own past. With no conscious alignment, she can be drawn onto either side of the coin, although only doing it for her own benefit- or amusement.  The Mistress is ready to burn millions of bridges in her path, or build billions if it so suits her. In a nutshell, the damsel is a flighty,  snarky, cold woman of stone whose demeanor can switch on a dime.

## Non-Elemental Abilities

1. Masquerade
	* A passive ability only available once The Mistress’s mask is fully equipped; (Both eyes are in the sockets). Once adorned, anyone who sees her face directly will experience a temporary lapse of judgement, her face becoming unrecognizable, any memory of her forgotten, and reasons for antagonizing her becoming muddy. Any attempt to recall these memories will result in a greater degree of mental fog and confusion. This effect can only be broken by looking away, or after several seconds of prolonged  staring, at which point it will wear off and all memories will return. If the victim sees her face again, the effect will return.
	* This ability strengthens and weakens by distance, and will become less effective every subsequent time the victim looks at The Mistress’s face. At critical range the victim is completely stunned until their disillusion is broken by a third party, or The Mistress backs away. Eye contact is not necessary, with the only criteria being that the victim is looking at 85% + of her face. On that note, this ability is completely dependent on the mask that The Mistress wears. If it is broken, lost, or not completely in place the effect will not work and it can’t be replicated by any other mask that she might wear. Any part of the mask other than the base can be damaged for it to still function.

## Strengths

* Possesses a remarkable intelligence and ability to stay cool under pressure.  With her sweet tongue, charming looks and manipulation, she can get what she wants without lifting a paw. With a wide perspective, she can understand and notice the smallest details in people, and is good at problem- solving and quick thinking.  She can hardly be broken mentally, and takes most verbal jabs with a pinch of salt. Has a lanky body, and thus can fit into small spaces, hide well, and run decently.

## Weaknesses

* With no moral or physical alliance, The Mistress can run her mouth often and make enemies without knowing it; she hardly can apologize either. In spite of her appearance of peak physique, the wolf is hardly a warrior, with low stamina and fighting capability.
* Other than her masquerade ability, The Mistress has no powers and is about as strong and capable  as a normal wolf, using her wits to escape trouble. Her memory loss didn’t solely affect her long-term memory, leading her to also have somewhat lesser short-term memory, being bad at remembering names—not that she really cares.

## Trivia

* As suggested by most of the backstory, her real name is *Vivienne Stillson,* which she forgot on impact, instead dubbing herself The Mistress.
* Her mask was one that she would often wear at public appearances, which the public thought was a fashion choice. Instead, it was to make herself more comfortable in front of cameras.
* The Mistress feels dirty and monstrous in her own fur, but hides said feelings rather well.
* The Mistress will exercise her disrespectful tendencies on anyone except for elders and children, until they annoy her. Then all bets are off.
