Ivy Kimball is a study in contrasts.

Pallid skin painted in exquisitely macabre tattoos.  Twinkling hazel eyes ringed in smokey eyeshadow with lips as black as her hair.  A watchful gaze captivated by unseen phenomena.  Flowing, lacy gowns and silver jewelry paired with leather jackets and combat boots.  A theatrical gothic style for a withdrawn eccentric.  The beauty and slender figure of a young woman, fascinated by cryptic mysteries and sanguine witchcraft.  A dreaming curiosity matched with a sharp intellect.  A softly soothing voice speaking unsettling revelations.  An obsession with knowing every secret, when she scarcely knows herself.

A free-spirited artist and witch, enslaved by the ever-thirsting beast.
