(a) Vert is related, distantly, to the spirits that spoke to the Oracle at Delphi. Absinthe is a relatively new gig for her, so she comes at it with the relish of the recently converted. She's not nearly as nice and sweet as people like to make her out to be. And she really would like a flesh body at some point.

(b) She's madness, personified. She's also the hardest pup I have to write, because of the heavy atmospherics.

(c) She hasn't driven anyone mad yet. I would love for her to do that. Hell, she doesn't barely have any devotees in the bar. This makes her sad. She should hand out free sugar cubes or something.

(d) She doesn't understand ships, but she would like to.
