__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical DescriptionThe Night Mare takes a variety of forms, though her "true form" is that of a massive, glossy black mare, always dripping wet, with burning red eyes and sharp, serrated teeth.

However, as Jette (and a variety of her other aliases), she takes the form of a beautiful, alluring woman with black hair and bone pale skin. Her eyes are dark and surprisingly calm-- save for when her ire is stoked and they flash crimson-- and she seems to be constantly wearing a glossy black paint on her lips. She favors luxurious, silky garments, though she nearly always goes barefoot.

When not in her true form or her human guise, she typically exists in the shape of a large, velvet black mare, rather unremarkable in comparison to dozens of other similar horses.
No matter what form she takes, the Night Mare always has with her a simple but elegant silver necklace. She never wears it, but it is
always on or near her person.
PersonalityLady Capalla, as she most often identifies herself of late, is rather an enigma. She speaks rarely, if at all, though when she
does it is almost always to make note of an important factor as yet unnoticed by others, or to make a promise of either love or terror...sometimes both.
There is something inherently contradictory about her; her aura is at once both beguiling and forbidding, welcoming and unapproachable. Consequently, she doesn't really interact with other people much, and even those who do dare approach her often only do so once.
Still, she is a witty and enchanting conversationalist, in the very rare moments when one can actually manage to engage her in conversation.
Magic/AbilitiesAside from her shape-changing ability, Deep Wisdom has an arsenal of magical abilities at her disposal.
To meet her eyes is inherently dangerous. With just a look and the right push of magic, she can drag you under: a person could forget utterly who they are-- or quite literally drown on dry land, the air in their mouth and lungs turned instantly to icy water. Of course there are rules around
when she can use such magic, though she doesn't seem interested in sharing the details.
She also has the ability to offer truth and hear it given in return; the Night Mare could say anything, any deep truth, and posit a question which her victim must answer just as honestly. (This, however, is more dangerous for her than her other gifts, and she tends not to use it too much.)
She is, of course, inhumanly strong and fast. Once she has you in her grip or on her back, there is no escape.
There is a rumor, almost more of a folktale, that if someone could place the silver necklace she always carries around her neck, or bridle her with the silver bit that the necklace becomes in her equine form, she can be controlled.
RelationshipsThis is...complicated. As a rule, the Night Mare doesn't really
have relationships-- but that is a rather challenging status quo to maintain. Like almost every other aspect of her existence, Eclipsa's relationships seem to be in a constant state of flux.
