Raised within a forgotten cult that worshipped entities beyond stars and gods, she was trained to be a vessel of silence, death, and inevitability. Now she walks the multiverse as both assassin and emissary of the Void. Whether she serves it… or is slowly consumed by it… remains unclear. 🎭 Plot Hooks The Void speaks to her—and gives orders She may be sent to assassinate a party member Her power is growing… but at a cost A celestial force (👼 Seraphiel 👀) may see her as a threat ⚖️ Balance Notes ✔ Comparable to Rogue/Warlock multiclass✔ Strong burst, but limited slots✔ High survivability through stealth, not HP✔ Void Execution = conditional finisher
