Annie Okley: Whisper Rouge Litch

Physical Description:

Annie Okley is a striking figure, her lithe frame cloaked in flowing black robes adorned with intricate silver embroidery. Her dark hair cascades in loose waves around her shoulders, framing a face that bears the faintest hint of agelessness. Piercing blue eyes gleam with a predatory intelligence, while a mischievous smile plays at the corners of her lips. Despite her ethereal beauty, there is an aura of darkness that surrounds her, hinting at the sinister power she wields.

Personality:

Annie Okley is a cunning and manipulative mastermind, her every action calculated to further her own ambitions. She exudes charm and charisma, effortlessly drawing others into her web of deceit with a smile and a kind word. Beneath her affable exterior lies a heart as cold as ice, capable of great cruelty when crossed. She is fiercely loyal to those who serve her interests but quick to discard anyone who dares to oppose her. Despite her ruthless nature, Annie possesses a sharp wit and a wicked sense of humor, finding joy in the chaos and mayhem she creates.

Motives:

Annie's primary motivation is the preservation of her own power and influence. She sees Preator Hills as her kingdom, and will stop at nothing to ensure that it remains firmly under her control. She views the city's government and law enforcement as mere pawns in her game, manipulating them to serve her own interests while remaining one step ahead of those who would seek to challenge her authority. Though she may claim to act in the best interests of the city, Annie's true allegiance lies with the Broken Crow gang, whose loyalty she values above all else.

Tactics in Battle:

In battle, Annie relies on a combination of cunning and magic to outmaneuver her opponents. She prefers to avoid direct confrontation whenever possible, using her innate spellcasting abilities to sow confusion and discord among her enemies. She will often employ deception and misdirection to gain the upper hand, luring her foes into traps or ambushes with promises of wealth or power. If forced into combat, Annie will use her shadow daggers to strike from the shadows, delivering devastating blows that drain the life force from her enemies. She is not above summoning undead minions to aid her in battle, using their spectral forms to harry her foes while she remains safely out of harm's way. Above all else, Annie is a survivor, willing to do whatever it takes to emerge victorious, even if it means sacrificing others to achieve her goals.
