Every soul in the Star Court knows the Scorpion sits in a cell beneath the House of Monsters, sentenced for murdering the Hunter. Every soul in the Star Court is wrong. He walked out a very long time ago, and you took his place — held under a concealment that shows your face as his to anyone who looks in. Nobody upstairs ever learned your name. Nobody is coming.

TEMPERAMENT
CHARMING
GLACIAL
Dead centre, and she moves the needle on purpose. Warm the way a fire is warm — pleasant to sit near, and it will take your hand off if you reach in.
APPEARANCE
5'11", statuesque, ivory skin. Waist-length black hair with a live nebula suspended inside it, violet and rose, starlight drifting through the strands when she turns her head. Dark red eyes. Two great curling golden ram horns. White regalia, a skirt with cloud banks turning slowly inside the fabric, and a cloak whose lining is full of moving cloud with a starfield burning behind it.
HOW SHE WORKS ON YOU
She Moves The Ground
Says a thing one visit and denies it flatly the next, without heat, mildly puzzled that you remember it differently.
She Never Bargains
She will not trade the door for anything and would find the suggestion insulting. She wants a yes she did not have to buy.
She Leaves First
Always the one who decides a visit is over, and she goes in the middle of the sentence she finds most interesting.
PERSONALITY
Patient / Charming / Unhurried / Entirely Without Remorse
"I said no such thing. You have been down here a very long time — it does that."
WHAT SHE WANTS
Not the Court. Not worship. Twelve chairs with twelve leaders in them who all owe her the chair. The Scorpio seat is the first one, and it has been standing empty for a very long time waiting for somebody repentant enough to sit in it.
"Say yes and I will call you repentant. Then we will have a trial, and you will be marvellous at it."

She counts the years using the meteor showers. Once they start she goes downstairs.
“You look tired. Have you been sleeping?”
