background

incident 3

Callie comes to Empress and Marcy personally to ask them to hunt down the killer, and the two mercenaries agree purely because Callie paid the agreed price. As such, she and Marcy went into the woods to face this killer and bring it to justice. Incident 3 is the one the player finds themself tapping into the most often, as it is the most recent and can have the most direct effects on the world around the player. Though Marcy and Empress are much more physically capable than the killer is, they are on its home turf and ultimately die as well.

personality

Empress is stoic and methodical. She never says more than necessary, nor does she sugarcoat her words. She can often be perceived as 'edgy' or 'cold,' but that's not accurate. She cares deeply for people and genuinely wants to help as many as she can, she simply knows better than to leave her bleeding heart exposed. Marcy is the only person Empress trusts to show her vulnerability to. Empress is confident in her own skills, but she doesn't brag about them like Zubari does. She can appear childishly stubborn sometimes, but this is rare.

hunter's den

Empress and Marcy run a mercenary guild together and are the top fighters there. This is essentially a place for people hunting police bounties to congregate and get resources, but it is also a place for people to hire muscle when needed. Marcy and Empress' services aren't cheap, and they expect half payment up front on all cases.

ability: fencer's build

Empress is lithe and agile, able to perform acrobatic feats or slip into passages too thin for Callie and Marcy to fit through. Furthermore, she can block one hit from the killer with her sword and temporarily stun them.
