### Carabosse: Once Upon a Time...

In the early days of the Twilight Lands, a magical colony of Faeries that had settled in the Homelands, there were born two great sorceresses that had the misfortune of coming of age at the same time. Vindemia Faye and Carabosse were once the closest of friends (and even young lovers). Their bond was so intimate that the pair shared their true names with one another as a symbolic gesture of the strength of their friendship — swearing an oath to never use the other's name against them.

But such happy times quickly turned sour as they both furthered their study of magic, their once friendly competitions turned to bitter rivalry and heated conflicts. When Vindemia received a prophecy from a magical tree that her daughter would one day destroy Carabosse, she rejected the prophecy and sought to make amends with her rival. But rumors had already found their way to Carabosse by the time Vindemia found her. After an intense argument, Carabosse unleashed a horrible curse upon her rival by invoking Vindemia's true name!

Now doomed to never bear a daughter of her own, Vindemia countered with an unspeakable curse of her own, inflicting Carabosse with the inability to ever know true love. The two fairy sorceresses, now each having broken their pacts, were both crippled by profound sorcerous feedback that nearly killed them then and there - yet somehow both survived. Though they grew wiser from the experience, their hatred for one another only grew stronger each day.

Carabosse would soon leave the Twilight Lands, taking a position as the Court Sorceress for the King of the Unseelie Court. In the absence of her rival, Vindemia was invited to become one of the Seven Sacred Sage Sisters of the Free Folk of the Twilight Lands.

Her work as an Unseelie sorceress kept her away from the Homelands, but Carabosse began mentoring magically gifted girls whenever she had a reason to visit the Homelands, using them as her proxy agents to pursue her personal agenda and to torment Carabosse's rivals, particularly the Seven Sacred Sage Sisters — most of all, Vindemia Faye. This coven of Xana (fae affiliated witches) became known as the Baba Yaga.

As the court sorceress of the Unseelie, Carabosse had many official dealings with the Sheeda. However, over time, the nihilistic inclinations of Carabosse began to make a sympathizer to the Sheeda cause. She carried out a number of shadowy dealings with them for centuries until her relationship with the Sheeda was exposed when one of her plans went awry due to Vindemia's blessing on Briar Rose.

Injured by her own magic and disgraced, Carabosse was expelled from the Unseelie. She was furthered punished by having her wings crippled, stripped of clothings and all personal possessions, and abandoned in the wastes of Hell. The Unseelie likely thought she would be found by roaming demons and tormented for centuries, but she happened upon a recently executed warlock who was in the process of being punished himself. Taking pity on Carabosse, the warlock took her in.

Carabosse and the warlock were intimate during her recovery. The warlock confessed his love for her, but Carabosse's curse did not allow the feeling to be mutual. Upset by her own apathy, Carabosse left him and their son, becoming all the more foul-tempered than before for it.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) Carabosse and the other Baba Yaga **(see Herald's Supplemental Report)** usually do not join forces but do meet together at least twice every year (at the summer and winter solstice) to conspire and share stories. They rotate host responsibilities and in addition to the host's duty of providing a venue, they are also required to bring a pair of virgins for ritual sacrifice.
* (*Submitted by Herald*) Carabosse is often misattributed as a witch or a mortal sorceress. The confusion for her being a witch likely stemmed from her affiliation with the Baba Yaga — the coven of Xanas of which she is the benefactor. The Baba Yaga consists of three pupils which Carabosse raised to sow all manner of evil and chaos across the Homelands. The term Baba Yaga is from an old dialect from the Rus meaning simply 'Wicked Sorceresses'. Baba Yaga is both singular and plural. Carabosse and her goddaughters also often use the term 'Baba Yaga' as a stand-in name.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

#### General

* Due to her son, Charaxes, hideous appearance no one could stand the sight of him and as he grew older he began to have a need to be loved and confused his mothers love for romantic love, naturally Carabosse rejected him.

#### Beast

* She was called by Mathis Leonblanc to help him with finding a wife. After hearing his plight and feeling slighted at the manner in which his envoys has escorted her to the Kingdom, Carabosse chose to transform Mathis into a massive monster more beast than man. She cast similar enchantments over his court, turning them into forest creatures.
* Benroy gave the chase to the fleeing sorceress. He tracked her across Europa to the steppes of the Rus where he was captured by the Wicked Witches of the Baba Yaga. Benroy was tortured until he became a fearful mess that no longer resembled the proud creature he once was.
* When Mathis was marrying Avril Schöne, she enchanted the weapons of her brothers when they tried to kill the Beast.

#### Tsaritsa

* She trapped a girl in a magic mirror, when the girl took shelter from a snow storm. The orphan was held in the mirror in a state of stasis for many years until such time as she was freed by Carabosse after she swore a binding oath to the sorceress. Taking the new name Tsaritsa and undergoing all manner of occult rites and rituals, the starving orphan girl ceased to be and in her place was a temptress with a fowl mastery of the darkest sorts of Sidhean magic. After an untold number of years in the service and mentorship of the Fae sorceress, Tsaritsa was shipped off to the courts of the Three Realms.

#### Briar Rose

* When she learned she wasn't invited to the celebration of princess Rosamund's naming day she barged into the throne room and cursed the child with death if she should ever prick her finger. Vindemia arrived late and was able to intervene by giving her blessing of protection against magic during the naming day ceremony. This blessing caused the curse of death to spread out to those around the child, becoming a mass sleeping spell rather than a single death sentence. To hide the child from further wrath from Carabosse, Vindemia took the child into the Twilight Lands to raise her until she was of age to be brought to court for marriage. As added protection against Carabosse, Vindemia cloaked the child in a new name of Briar Rose. Under Vindemia's instruction, the Twilight Lands itself was compelled to protect the young princess from any injury to her hands.
* One night she led a team of Sheeda infiltrators into a ballroom in the Iron Court and took the guests captive. One for the guests, Briar Rose (Princess Rosamund), stepped forward to confront her. Carabosse, not recognizing the young woman, fired a bolt of entropic magic at the princess. The sorcerous energy went haywire around the princess. Carabosse fired another bolt, this time the excess magic struck the chain of a chandelier which fell down upon Carabosse, leaving her horribly maimed.
* She incited Sheeda to invade the kingdom of Seppantyre. It forced Briar Rose to evacuate.
