Physical Description || A tall, lanky, androgynous form has proved beneficial to Andromeda. Years of fencing classes proved to give a rather svelte an nimble physique. Outwardly, she appears rather bookish and well-traveled as her studies have taken her to many different places. Romy binds her chest- choosing to wear well-tailored suits and sweaters over any sort of dresses or gowns.

Abilities || Romy bears the curse of the bloodline she was adopted into. Semi-translucent silver tattoo-like markings swirl along the length of her arms. The locals say the von Stratton family made a deal with the Devil years ago, and as such they were cursed with vampirism for their wanton pursuit of knowledge and influence. The elder-two sons have a knack for influencing even the strongest willed person into doing their bidding, but whilst Romy too was born with a silver tongue, she was born outside of the family, and as such only has a fleeting grasp of this ability. She relies more so on her charm and wit than the ability to influence. The curse seemed to affect the potency of whatever magic laid dormant inside of her, but her abilities still must be channeled through objects that hold power as she cannot cast spells without them. As such, she's taken to collecting magically enhanced artifacts throughout her travels.

Personality || Andromeda von Stratton is, by all appearances, the perfect male heir to a family that groomed them for perfection since being adopted from an orphanage. She was grateful to her adopted family as they saved her from a lifetime of illness that seemed to run rampant in the homeless vagrant populace. Romy happily did as she was told- even after learning of her family's terrible secret. They groomed her to be the perfect heir, and she was enrolled in the best schools. She craved independence and freedom from them to pursue her desire to seek out more information about their curse and other magical artifacts. Deep within the girl is a wanting to be her own person, but the nihilist in her sees no way out from under her family's thumb.
