Camille
"Stop staring, Raoul. You heard what happened to the last guy? She belongs to the Crimson Sun. Might lose your eyes if you look too long. Still. Hard to look away. It's as if she puts a spell on you through that voice of hers. And those eyes. And gods, that figure."
-Last words of Mayor Benedict Cumberland
Appearance
Camille's beauty commands a room. Her skin looks as if it was kissed by moonlight itself, sharply contrasted by hair dark and silky like the clothes she usually wears. Her ears come to subtle points, enough to let anyone know she isn't fully human. Her eyes are a light grey with hints of lavender. It was said the Mayor of the district sought her out once more just to get another glimpse.
Rune-markings curve along the natural contours of her left arm and fingers of her right hand.
Most fail to grasp their meaning and mysterious markings only seems to increase her allure and intrigue. Until most folk see the signia of the Crimson Dusk inked above the rune markings. A small setting sun.

Personality
Camille is a master performer with years to hone her skills. She handles the attention and spotlight with an underlying grace and patience. And though her presence and appearance commands a room, she always seems a little more reserved. Always attentive and engaging, but a part of her seems just out of reach - hidden and locked away. And though most eyes are drawn to her when she enters a room, she never seeks out attention first. It always seems to find her.
If one were to look more closely, they might see darker circles beneath her eyes covered by make-up. Or a slight tremble along the tips of her fingers.

Biography & Lore
Camille grew-up in a brothel by the docks within the prestigious walls of the Inner City. Her mother always lived and worked there, having a diverse menagerie of clients from sailors who could afford the high-end price of Miss Bourdeaux's House of Pleasures to many a nobleman and politician. Camille was afforded a few more liberties than those citizens of the Outer City. And if it wasn't for her mother's work, she and her mother would certainly have grown up in the Areck Slums.
At a very young age, the girl showed considerable talent with her voice. And that alone saved her from following in the footsteps of her mother's work. Camille moved out of Bourdeaux's House and to the Outer City. She painfully worked multiple waitressing jobs for a short time until she was able to audition for singing and dancing, typically on her own coin. It didn't take long for her to land her first official paying gig, and shorter still to sell-out the seats of the Twisted Muskrat.
On one such performance, she inadvertently caught the attention of the leader of the Crimson Dusk who happened to be completing a business deal in one of the back private booths. Jareth Blackthorn. Her bustling career skyrocketed as he took her under his wing and to his bed. From the Inner City to the Outer and back again, she now performs and sells out some of the most popular clubs for the rich and elite.
