## Appearance

### **Physical**

Fiona has pale skin, a braided, white ponytail over her right shoulder, arched, greyish-white eyebrows, and large, black button eyes cross-stitched with light grey thread. Two drops of black mascara are visible under either of her eyes, and she wears dark grey lipstick.

### **Outfit**

Fiona wears a silvery-white, silk nun's robe with a large, round, pale cream collar, shiny, golden hems along the stiff shoulders and two matching stripes down the fitted bodice, long, tapered, billowing sleeves with elbow-length slits, and a flowing, knee-length skirt with side slits, shiny, golden hems, and a symbol of a wheel embroidered in gold on the front. She also wears silver silk stockings over black tights with gold clasps, and shiny, silver heeled ankle boots. A gold choker with a matching, emerald-encrusted, cross-shaped pendant is around her throat, and she wears gold armbands around her elbows. A shiny, gold censer is secured to the left side of the silver belt cinching her waist, silver linen bandages are wrapped around her hands, and she wears round glasses with thick, gold frames. A silvery-white, silk nun's headpiece with a white cloth depicting a black symbol of an open eye across her brow, golden hems, and sharp horns with two golden stripes around their bases jutting straight out covers her head.

### **Holy Key**

The Holy Key is now a glowing, rose gold disc with a symbol of an open eye, curving tendrils, three sharp spikes jutting out of the left, right, and bottom sides, as well as white feathers attached all around the rim, with a pair pointing northeastwards, southeastwards, southwestwards, and northwestwards respectively.

### **Special Effects**

The Holy Key emits white feathers, and a halo of glowing golden light constantly pulsates behind her.
