Appearance

Everpresent Diamond Law is a tall woman of austere beauty, with long, rail-straight red hair of deep hue and bright green eyes. She wears a hooded mantle of dark green and purple, the modified attire of her city's judges.

Law has three seperate tattoos engraved on her body, the product of grafted chalcanth of several Demons of the First circle. Her Chrysogona tattoo is a weeping mask amid a wreath of branches splayed across her back; the Angyalkae appears as a two hands with hundreds of weaving tendril fingers reaching from the branches and embracing her abdomen; finally, the silver fires of the Gilymine play down her hips and thighs. The tattoos are covered in her standard attire.

Anima

Caste-mark: Silver Hourglass

Anima: Swirling silver sand around her in a sphere, pluming in front of her like the pupil of an eye. At Iconic levels, she is lit by a halo of prismatic light as crystalline wings spread from her back.
Unwoven Coadjudicator: Agatae. Physical manifestation is truly dazzling sparkling eyes and a slight shimmering quality to her skin.

Anima Power:

Can sacrifice a sentient creature to Cecelyne once per day to desecrate an area. Roll Charisma + Performance (15) with a difficulty of (7 - the Essence of the victim; minimum difficulty of 1); results are an area 100 yards wide per success, difficulty -2 to pray to Yozis (min 1), difficulty -2 to summon demons, difficulty +2 to bind demons. Lasts until a number of successes are gained prayer rolls are made by a priest of a Creation diety equal the successes on the desecration roll, with each roll representing a day of prayers.
Channel 10 motes (or auto activate at 11+ motes display) to illuminate area with green light. Infernal gains bashing and lethal soak equal to her Essence against holy creatures (4). Holy creatures include: all gods (but not elementals) of Creation who have not been corrupted into the service of the Yozis, all Solar Exalted regardless of caste (except those who have become akuma) and all Exalted of any type who know even one Charm with the Holy keyword.
Add Essence to minimum damage against Holy beings (see above). This effectively gives you Essence X2 total minimum damage.
