The Medusa

Euryale Kensington, the reanimated and transformed priestess
POV:
Appearance:
An eerie emerald-eyed entity, Euryale is nevertheless extraordinarily pretty despite the dark veil she wears to hide and protect her long jade-green tresses. There is a classical air to her looks, with a shy intelligence in her smile, but when she is at the club, she dresses far more modestly than one would expect. A pity that she refuses even corsets. She looks like she'd have the figure for them.
