Victoria

Ever since she was a young girl, Malvina was always fascinated by ghosts and spirits. Like all the women of her line, she could sense the denizens of the spirit layer, though compared to some of her foremothers her spirit senses, sight and a vague feeling around her, might seem a bit lacking. But Malvina was a very curious, inventive, and quite frankly odd girl, and merely observing the forest spirit life around her childhood home wasn't enough. She devised ways to catch small spirits, then vivisect them, then to put the pieces together in new, better ways.

Her odd behavior didn't win her many, or, well, *any* friends, but she fed her loneliness into her work. Her first major success with spirit creation started as a spider-like spirit, and ended up as a puppeteer that she slaved to her will and installed in her own head. With that, she was able to control her spirit creations, her servitors, directly, and share their senses. From there, her creations grew more ambitious and varied, from scouts that could sneak around and observe, to hunters built to capture other spirits, to her bodyguard which could harm spirit and mundane beings alike.

Finally, when Malvina was a woman grown, she was heavily encouraged by her mother to leave home and seek her fortune elsewhere. Somewhere well away from the local spirit life that'd suffered her depredations for so long. And so, with a letter of recommendation addressed to an aunt working in the Department of Unusual Events, she set forth.

Her long hair conceals a number of surgical scars on the back of her head and neck, and wears her hair long and loose to conceal them.
