The Duke of Spring, Crisanto dar Migliore

Every Power of Spring is the grandfather of the one that came before. When Spring the First, Carminae dar Migliore, was slain in battle, she bequeathed her ancestors' deaths to her Imperator Ythom. Ythom, in keeping with his Code, balanced this gift with a terrible vow, and in that manner, all those who bear Carminae's blood may someday carry the banner of Spring, when Ythom can no longer reach into yesteryear to enNoble her forebears.

Crisanto is the third Power of Spring of Carminae's line, or so he has been told. A horticulturist in mortal life, he now considers himself the curator of a particularly precious heirloom, and like Carminae and Nunzio before him, Crisanto's soul resonates with the clear note of one who exists only for a higher purpose.

Crisanto's Design is a flowering cherry tree with exposed roots; entwined around them and its lower trunk are creepers of Indian jasmine.

Gifts & Virtues
 Elemental (Comprehensive)Because of Carminae's legacy, the essence of Spring suffuses all her family; the Powers of Spring are all able to take Elemental forms. Crisanto's interpratation of the Estate predisposes him to take forms such as inflorescences of plants, figures composed of zephyrs and pollen, or masses of anonymous youth, but he has access to the full flexibility of this Gift, being able to take the form of anything that may fall under the purview of his Domain.
 Glorious (Normal Invocation)By spending 1 AMP, Crisanto can perform a gesture or speak a syllable that embodies the energy of renewal. All those who witness this are deeply moved, and any jaded feeling and scarring of their hearts is removed; the friends of Spring are as fresh and wonder-filled as children.
 ImmutableLike a tree in April, Crisanto is continually bursting into bloom. Though he ages slowly, he needs no external sustenance.
 Virtue: CaretakerCrisanto's attentions are not spared casually, but underneath them, the things he cares for will always thrive. He has an instinct for the most beneficial thing to do for one of his charges, and no force or trickery will make him bring them harm.
Limits & Restrictions
 Cannot KillAs part of his personal code of honor, Crisanto will not kill.
 CeremonialAs a Power of one of the four seasons, Crisanto must participate in certain rites at the Equinoxes and Solstices, where the seasonal Powers of Earth exchange dominion over the weather.
 Must Be Deceitful In the Face Of Symbols Of DeclineAn ongoing feud with the Power of Autumn has made Crisanto pathologically false in the presence of his rival's standards.
