__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description and some history
A tall and beautiful woman, with powerful legs and curves, the woman of many names was definitely born to be seductive. Her mother had been a courtesan, and fell in love with one of her patrons. Though their love couldn't be sealed by marriage since the man was already tied to his wife and his own children and life style as a lesser duke in Connlaoth, when she had gotten pregnant, the man paid to have her removed to the other side of the country for safe keeping and has ever since, sent money to help pay for the child.
So this is how Winifred had came to be. She has pale skin and thick, luscious lips, normally always painted red, with a strong jaw and face. She has long reddish-brown hair that's thick and wavy and goes down to her thighs in length. When she's in assassin mode, she pulls her hair up in a thick braid, so that during the day time, her hair has a beautiful wave to it when flowing free.  Her eyebrows are sharp, her eyes are green, and a smile is always seen gracing her lips.  She has a perfect face, a perfect body, and very skillful, deft hands.
While growing up, Winifred had learned much from her mother, and as it came to be, she eventually became a courtesan herself. Though one thing lead to another, and one of the men who took interest in her had much darker intents than simply aiming to find a woman to keep him company. No, he wanted a beauty to do his dirty work, so after studying her for a time in silence at open occasions, Wylestia eventually approached this man, knowing full well he had been eyeing her for many months.  It was this keen eye and the way she talked, the way she handled herself that made him want her. And so that night he made her his, and Wylestia became his Scarlet Bird, his secret killer in the night.
One notable marking Winifred was born with was a mole on the lower right side of her chin and right temple, one just above her left breast near her shoulder, and another on her lower back, near her ass, normally hidden by her clothes. She also has the imprint of a bird pressed into her flesh. It's small and almost not noticeable, but it's on her lower back, also near her ass by the mole on her flesh. This was her branding mark from her master.

When she becomes the Scarlet Bird, she wears a red-leather dress, with a bustle down the back, skirts cut to reveal all of her legs, a tight corset, a cuff with a draped gold heart at the center, and a red leather mask with tufts of feathers on either side. She also wears red leather gloves that come up just past her elbow and boots almost up to her thigh. Feathers fringe here and there, which lend some weight to her name sake of the scarlet bird.

Personality
Winifred hadn't expected much from her life. She was born and raised to really become just one thing, so dreams of anything else were barely ever allowed to come to the surface. But like all women, she always dreamed of something more, of romance and true love, and was surprised to find it only after her life had taken a turn for the worse.  Winifred, Wylestia, Helena or even the Scarlet Bird, who ever you come to meet, tends to keep all of her emotions in reserve. Though she's certainly got a sharp wit about her, that comes out in quick spurts of dialogue, she does not divulge many of her inner most secrets, which has since helped her to tie lie into lie into lie seamlessly to hide traces of each alter ego of herself. Winifred has long since been dead, her ego having changed into Wylestia, the courtesan, and the perfect vision of a woman of beauty, mind and bed.  When her master took hold of her, she becomes the Scarlet Bird for him, and when she had gotten married and dared to live out another dream, she turned herself into Helena Rhyas, a sweet and naive woman only beginning to dream, where she was finally beginning to let her real self show.  But for the most part, she will always be guarding of herself, of her heart, of the true identity within. Her husband, after all, had no idea she had lead a double life before they had gotten married.

As the Scarlet Bird, she is ruthless, a real trained killer. Cold and mission driven, she will stop at nothing until her mark is set, obeying each string her master pulls upon her like a marionette, marking the world for him like a trained bird.  There is nothing but the surface world about her, as her soul and personality become buried within, her eyes turning cold and without feeling, like a doll moving about the streets, trained to kill.

Magic/Abilities
The Scarlet Bird has many skills that help aid her in her assassination and murder attempts. She is stealthy, fast, strong; with skills in throwing knives, fan blades and a unique set of steel string that she can bind around the room, use to cut off people's heads and bind her victims until pulling the string tightly and watching them turn into chunks and pieces of flesh upon the floor. Sometimes she ties an iron weight to the end of her steel string, which helps her toss the thin and deadly string around during a fight.

Relationships and a little bit of History...
Damien- (her 'master') A tall and powerful mage, one who has the unique ability to cage another person's soul and use that person as a puppet for his grand schemes. His magics are possessive in nature, so where as he can't personally attack another with his power, he can use his power to manipulate, bend wills and create, in a sense, a person as a slave to do his bidding. He literally will keep your soul in a bird cage, leaving a branded mark on his victim to know they are his. But this does not entirely keep them beneath his power.  Winifred had eventually found a way to escape her master and went on the run, only to find herself stumbling into an unknown scenario and falling in love.  Assuming she had thwarted any pursuit by her master, she believed i twas ok to start another life, so she ended up marrying the man known as Bishop until her master tracked her down and the men that found them killed her daughter, 'killed' herself, and nearly killed her husband.  Taken back into his possession, her master used his powers to seal away her memories from that time into a heart shaped locket, one he cleverly keeps around her neck.  However, love is a strong thing, so whenever a memory stirs, she feels it like a heart beat, hearing it crying and wishing to be free. Sometimes the memories seep out, but the hold upon her is quite strong this time, so any flashes of memories have her terribly confused, especially ones of a certain handsome gentleman she had used to call her husband. It gives her chills when his memory flashes to her on lonely nights.
Right now she has no recollection of being Winifred or Helena, just recalling she is Wylestia by day, and the Scarlet Bird by night, and her master uses the excuse her husband is her enemy, which is why she recalls his face but nothing more, and that she is to avoid him at all costs. Though if the pair should ever cross paths, he told her to simply kill him, lest she herself fall to his blade.

Chagall- a former associate. He also tried to kill her and her entire family, yet somehow; both her and her husband survived.
