THE CRIMSON FLORIST
- Nicknames: The Florist
- Sex: N/A
- Gender: Female
- Species: Sphinx
- Age: About 5000 years old
- Height: 5'00'' at shoulder
- Weight: 280 lbs
- Physical Description: About a foot taller than your average lioness, with silky black fur and wings. Her her hair and tail are white and always braided. She has seven blank white eyes, a frightening maw, and wears a golden neck collar. Her forked tongue is also black. The flowers in her hair slowly die and re-bloom. They always re-bloom as something different from the previous flower but are always red. She has no control over the type of flower but poppies are her favorite.
When she's in Limbo she leaves a trail of red flowers behind her (the same as in her hair) which die at the same rate as those in her hair. However, they do not re-bloom. On Earth, vegetation dies in her vicinity except for flowers which turn the same deep red.
- Personality: Ancient and wise, but with a penchant for cruelty. She sees humans as weak, foolish, hypocritical, etc. and, as a sphinx, naturally enjoys riddles and killing those who fail to answer them correctly. She loves to watch their desperate faces as they realize that they are unable to solve her riddle(s) and that death draws closer with every second.
- Backstory/Ongoing: She likely originated as a Mesopotamian monster or deity but lost most of her power as she was forgotten. Because of the potential danger she poses to humans, the Keepers restrict her from visiting Earth.
