IMPRESSIONS/QUICK REF

Umbra is a strange, transient traveler from the far northern reaches of Eidolon. Her arrival is often preceded by frost creeping over windowpanes and fires burning just a little dimmer. She claims she means no harm - and truly, she doesn't - but it can be hard to believe her when simply standing too close makes the air taste like iron.

No one quite knows what she is - some call her a ghost that never learned she died while others wonder if she's a forgotten handmaiden of an aloof god. All Umbra will ever say about herself is that she's "just passing through." What's certain is that she's lonely - achingly, unbearably so.

Cliffnotes & permissions for meme/cmo/whatever purposes below:

Umbra IS:

A fem-presenting, human-passing person of indeterminate origin and age - appears mid-twenties at a glance, though there's a sense she's been around far longer. About 5'0", short and plump. She's almost always bundled in layers of heavy winter clothing regardless of the weather.
Pretty, but in an uncanny way - she never seems to blink, her skin is pale to the point of looking corpselike and the tips of her fingers, toes, and ears are blackened as if frostbitten.
Always cold to the touch sometimes enough to frost glass or make someone's breath mist just by brushing touching them.
Kind of... hard to be around? Her presence causes anxiety, dizziness, and vertigo in most mortals. Touching her can make people nauseous or faint.
Soft-spoken, fawning, and desperate for connection often to an unsettling degree. She's intensely affectionate to the people who are kind to her, almost worshipful, but never quite understands why it's offputting.
Quiet and mournful and endlessly apologetic for the space she takes up - if she could disappear without hurting anyone, she probably would.

Umbra IS NOT:

Actively malicious or sadistic - her creepiness isn't intentional.
Childlike, naïve, or innocent.
Familiar with modern day culture or technology.
Alive in the usual sense.
