Physical Description
In terms of physical appearance, Luna seems to look like a regular young girl, however there are a few notable differences. For one, her skin is a sickly pale, very unnatural. Her eyes also hold a cold, grey emptiness to them. Her hair is long and white, while her clothes appear to be a torn up sundress. She wears no shoes, and her feet always trek blood wherever she walks.

Her spirit form looks similar, the main differences is she is no longer able to physically touch or be touched by anything. And white wisps of ghost essence flows off her body when she moves.

Personality
Being the vengeful spirit of a child, Luna's personality is very stagnant. She appears to be cold and emotionless, but she harbors much sadness and hate in her dead heart. She wanders the woods of Zantarctic, cursing those who cross her path, hoping to find the man who murdered her, but she is also very lonely. However, this does not entirely isolate her from interaction with others. The few who can peak the spirit's interests, and manage to get past her hatred, she can be quite friendly too. However, all of that kindness will fade back into sorrow, and then rage when others try to leave her. She only wants a friend, and will cry tears of red on those who resent her.

Magic/Abilities
Not much is known about how much power she holds, but one thing is certain... She is very dangerous. Over the many years, Luna has gained a reputation within Zantarctic as the wraith who stalks the woods, and causes great, uncurable sickness and madness to those unlucky enough to encounter her. The victims will usually return from the woods, driven mad with fear, and the urge to itch themselves. Over the course of a week, large, disgusting rashes will grow on the victim's skin and they will bleed from their eyes quite extensively. Ultimately ending in a painful death. The rashes will begin to feel like hot fire on the victim's skin, and eventually their eyes will melt from their sockets into dark blood. The only upside to this sickness is that it is not contagious... But no medicine or magic can stop it. This disease Luna causes to her victims has been dubbed "Wraithfire" by the people of Zantarctic.

Relationships

History
Nobody knows who Luna is or where she came from exactly. Or even if the spirit's true name is Luna. The title "Luna O'the Woods" was given because the girl was described to be as white as the moon. However, those who have lived in Zantactic long enough may have their suspicions as to her origins.

Month prior to her first sighting, a priest came to Zantarctic with a gang of violent fanatics. He claimed he had come to do good, and cure the people of their unclean hearts. With some shifting of coin, he payed off the local gang lord to allow him to preach however he saw fit. As such, he had his followers round up a portion of the village and preached. Those who refused to listen to his teachings were brutally beaten and thrown aside. However, this was not the case for one family. A family of three, a mother, father, and a young daughter were brought before the priest for their attempt to ignore him. As punishment, he would have them flogged and thrown aside just like any other... But then he took notice of the daughter's pale hair. For reasons unknown, he exclaimed the hair was that of a demon, and that this couple had given birth to and raised a devil! As such, he ordered the parents to have their throats slit in front of the girl. They did not stop there however...

[WARNING: DARK THEMES AHEAD]

The priest then had the girl tied up to a post, and using only a rusty knife, he gouged out both of the girl's eyes before the whole village. Her agonizing screams went on until she was torched like a witch... Dying in fire with blood dripping from the holes of her sockets. Leaving the remains chained to the post, the priest then moved on and left Zantarctic for lands unknown... But the spirits of the dead are not so easily ignored...

Now Luna, the spirit of rage, prowls the woods of Zantarctic looking for the priest. Unable to leave this world until his agonizing pain fills the night, killing anyone in her way without a second thought.

As such, the people of Zantarctic watched and did nothing during her death... And she never forgave... And she never forgot.
