Match-Girl

Match-Girl is role-played by Orion's Dagger.

History
Once, there was a poor girl named Ainsley Lancaster. A poor girl, her only job was selling matchsticks on the street. Time passed, and she sat in the winter snow, the city around her filled with glowing homes as she sat at the edge of the alley; a full matchbox in her hand. No one had bought any that day. No one would even look at her. She was starving and cold, and so she lit a match, but such small light was not enough to warm her, and it snuffed out quickly.

Then, she was approached by a cloaked figure who's eyes glew. The figure offered her a small box of matches, and promised that these would warm her. They promised that they would never run out, and she could use them as long as she liked. Desparate for warmth, Ainsley took the matches without a second thought.

In the matches' indigo flames, she saw dreams. She saw her furtive wishes came true. After one died out, the flame licker her fingers, she tossed the blacked stick into the snow and lit another. And as she burned her heart and soul away, time passed. She is no longer herself, and something is in control.

Now, there is the Match-Girl. She wanders all over, offering a matches to children she meets; so that they may see their greatest hopes, even as their soul burns away. In the end, the children would no longer have spirit, no longer have hopes and dreams. They wouldn't even know the difference between the illusions they'd caught themselves in and reality. And the Match-Girl would move on, unpreturbed. The child, lost between truth and lies, would lose themselves and be burned into the indigo light.

She has more daydreams to share.

Appearance
She appears to be a 13-year-old girl. Her long hair has been long burned into the indigo of her matchsticks' fires, her indigo eyes are hidden by the brim of her grey cap. She wears a grey coat, burned blue at the sleeves, and a grey scarf billows around her neck. The skirt of her black wool dress can be seen above her striped blue and white stockings. She walks around on charcoal black shoes.

As an apparition, she is slightly transparent.
