```

**Sabella Devi** is the fourth child of the late Aisling DeAngelis and an on-again-off-again member of the LaCroix Affiliate. Staking claim as being the leading necrokinetic throughout the mythical world, she is appropriately considered to be the reincarnate of the Fourth Horsemen.

She is married to Zuzanna Devi and has one child, Cora Devi, who lives between their permanent home in France and her father's ship.

Her official faceclaim is Hailee Steinfeld.

## Appearance

Having returned to her true body after months of regeneration, Sabella is sure to turn heads upon entering a room. Her complexion, olive but easily tanned and neutral-toned, is unmarked by tattoos and bears only two scars: one faint claw-like shape at the base of her neck, and a small circle in the center of her chest, just over her heart. Like her mother her hair is a deep oaken color and quite thick, but it's waves come from her fathers side of the family. She often wears makeup, though the amount varies day-to-day.

Easily her most recognizable feature, Sabella has heterochromia iridium. Like the old divise vampirics from ages past, her right iris reflects a mossy green coloring while her left is the traditional violet. Being a demonic raised from Hell, Sabella can force her eyes to become black when she finds the need, but she seldom does this as it causes her some pain.

In terms of wardrobe, Sabella follows modern trends while keeping most of her closet monochromatic. Sabella takes inspiration from those she group up around; her sense of style could be considered 'business casual'. Blocky, heeled shoes and large watches are staples in her day-to-day outfits.

## Species

Born a divise *(psionic-sanguine)* vampiric with incredible necromantic abilities, after Sabella's death she was reborn as a **reaper**, a special sort of demon *(or angel)* that serves Hell. She assists in maintaining The Natural Order and is able to both manifest and take human for on Earth or possess a human host. Most recently, she was appointed as a Knight of Hell, a specially-ranked demon in Hell's hierarchy that works directly under and for the reigning monarch.

Although it's a rarity to see her use the latter, Sabella does have two physical forms: her human form, and her 'true' form. Typically, her true form is only taken on in Hell, but she does have the ability to call upon it whenever she feels necessary.

### Abilities

* **Necromancy** - *the ability to utilize magic involving the dead, life-force, or souls. This includes death inducement, death sense, divination, necrokinesis, resurrection, and banishment and summoning.*
* **Occlumency** *- the ability to be highly resistant to any/all mental intrusion, including psychic or empathic powers, hypnosis, illusions, deception, etc.*
* **Demon Physiology** *- the power to use the abilities of demons: pyrokinesis, decelerated aging, mediumship, and possession.*
* **Tele-Transportation** *- the ability to move instantaneously from one location to another without physically occupying the space in between.*
* **Access to Hell** *- the ability to easily teleport ones self back and forth between Earth and Hell, without the need for any complex summoning ritual or assistance.*

### Weaknesses

* **Exorcism** - *to be removed from one's host via ritual, thus forced back to Hell.*
* **Hallowed Ground** - *demons are unable to walk upon ground or into places which have been blessed by a religious official. this includes churches, some cemeteries, and parts of Enoch.*
* **Iron** - *most demons can't touch iron without their skin burning or cross it if it is used to erect a barrier.*
* **Physical Damage** - *though demons themselves cannot be harmed by conventional means, unlike angels, most demons are unable to heal their vessels. as such, if the vessel accumulates too much damage, the demon will be forced to vacate its host and search for a new vessel.*
* **Seraph Blades** - *when a seraph blade is used to kill a demon, intense *(red, in Sabella's case*) light explodes from the vessel, leaving the body withered.*

## Personality

    If you can't bare to keep up, then don't even bother her. Sabella isn't very forgiving, merciful, or caring if you find yourself on the wrong end of her job. Although nurturing and even maternal in nature towards those she considers herself close with, the once-timid brunette has a cold heart hardened through years of emotionally taxing work. Sabella has always felt as though she's had to be the strong one, ignoring her own issues and sorrows so that she could better help her broken family. When she decided she wanted to train for the Enochian Royal Guard, her ability to conceal her true emotions came in handy, but she's since found trying to keep up with these facades is only harming her relationships with her colleagues and family, and so is trying to be more vocal with how she feels about things.

Ruled by emotions and intuition, her life is centered around becoming who she wants to be and how to get there. Her secrets keep her quiet, but she is always listening. She is calm, cool, and collected but she is also hungry, and she won’t let go of the things she wants anymore. Too many of them have slipped away from her, and now that she has the ability to get what she wants, she will.

## Family & Relationships

Cora DeAngelisAisling DeAngelisMadrigal Morgan
### Daughter; Cora DeAngelis

She loves me, she loves me not. While some may think Sabella and her daughter aren't close, since they aren't living with one another, that's the furthest thing from the truth. Sabella wants Cora to have some stability in her life and Cora understands that; Sabella visits her daughter every moment that she's able to do so. Cora saved her life and Sabella is determined to give her a better upbringing than what she got from Aisling.

### Mother; Aisling DeAngelis

Fragments of her mother’s memory hangs proudly in her home. The blessings she bestowed upon her take physical form in the dewdrop of sunlight hung proud just above her nightstand. She’s enchanted a jewelry box to store Aislings' expansive collection, and with every pearl necklace looped around her neck, she can almost feel her mother’s long nails scraping against her top vertebrae as she clasps the chains together. Her business card is hidden behind a snakeskin pouch in a navy Michael Kors wallet. The goldleafed letters forming a crisp “DeAngelis Estates” before listing off some disconnected number, one she sometimes wishes she could call.

### Godmother; Madrigal Morgan

She's the only one, Sabella will whisper, cool bathroom tile resting against flushed cheeks, retching on the floor. Madrigal knows her - she understands her problems, and she’s the only one who cares. The only one who worries when she doesn't come home. Maybe she doesn't, she realizes, because Margra isn’t here to pick up her messes, but sometimes she forgets that.

## **History**

Sabella had been as intelligent as could be as a young girl. She learned to read and write at an early age and always watched as her aunts did their work. But she wasn’t interested in clinic duties or the historical novella in Black Manor as much as the promises of the music room and the almost ethereal sounds produced behind those walls. Sabella spent the majority of her time there, watching and learning the various instruments they had to offer. As she became older, the other children in Alabaster thought she was eccentric for the things she was interested in and the odd encounters that seemed to follow her. Eventually, she began spending more time in Black Manor, reading anything and everything she could find in the extensive library, rather than spending time with other kids her age.

The Palace was a whole new sort of adventure for Sabella. She was adventurous and charismatic, and she was daring, always ready to explore places she probably shouldn’t have. She had heard many things of the castle, but nothing was like actually being there. On Whole Court days, when she was allowed to take a break from both work and studies, Sabella often found herself roaming the halls in search of new and exciting experiences. Some days she was allowed to sit in Queen Alessandra's library with Karou for hours on end, the only sound passing between them the occasional laugh or gasp in regards to their books. Other days, she took her horse out from the royal stable and rode up and down the beach until the salt water matted her hair and stung her eyes. When she felt a bit more gutsy than usual, she'd sneak into Cassandra's room to steal her cigarettes and would then find her way to the tallest tower in the castle, where she'd sit and watch The Hill.
Friends came and went, but Sabella found her best friend and partner in crime in Aaron Poole, the younger brother of the Second Captain of the Royal Guard. They were inseparable, often sneaking each other into the opposite's bedroom or classroom so that they could be together. Unfortunately, it was this reliance that got them into serious trouble with Alessandra when they toppled over and broke a rather expensive display of Celestial War relics. Given their reckless behavior as of late, the pair were given a choice: do six months of volunteer work cleaning The Pit, or train with the newest class of Royal Guard inductees. At the time, Sabella found this quite unfair and excessive, but she did come to realize years later that this was the families idea of 'scaring them straight'.

Having made her choice, Sabella was soon brought into the program, under the condition that she would not receive any special treatment despite her affiliation with the Morgans.
As her aunts were members of the Royal Guard, Sabella knew more about the training system than the common twelve year old. Margra would tell her stories about wayward inductees when she was little, whenever Cassandra was too busy or tired to talk to her about it, and though the program never truly caught her interest at the time, the disappearance of her mother caused her to think about it quite often – in the sense that she wondered what her life would have been like if she had been born in Enoch; if she had attended a normal school with normal girls, mourning the loss of her mother in normal way. Sabella realized that she’d never get that experience of normalcy, and while she'd grown content with it, she still felt jealous of the Enochian children and how simple their lives must have been up until they signed up.
Although she was somewhat initially disliked by some her peers at the start, and was comparatively weak in terms of physical prowess, Sabella slowly and painfully pulled herself up the ranking until she reached the top. She stood there for a moment on shaky legs like a newborn giraffe *(a sharp contrast to her aunts, who she had once seen sword-fight in six inch heels)* and basked in the reflected glory. She earned the attention of another trainee, Zuzanna Blackwater, whom she had long-since been enthralled with; the two began a romantic relationship outside of their training, but it was short-lived, due to their competitiveness towards one another. When it came time for the final trials, Sabella was one of the top remaining inductees and was well-liked by her peers.

## Headcanons & Drabbles

* Being that she has the persona of the quintessential bad boy with a couple of tricks up her sleeve to add her own personal spin on it, she has dabbled quite a bit in the world of drugs. She tried cocaine once, wasn’t a fan, and then stuck to softer drugs.
* Sabella likes to walk with her hands in her pockets and with body bent slightly forward. Perhaps abnormally tall, she has found it easier to always be just a tad bent as to not be hit in the face by leaves or other hanging objects.
* Her biological aunt, uncle, and siblings are actually really quite wealthy; her aunt and uncle take up residence in the DeAngelis Estate in Milan, where she regularly visits. Her siblings, meanwhile, live quietly in Isadora, blissfully ignorant of their little sisters existence. The only time she has heard of her extended family is when their situation was explained to her by Akiva.
