[edit] sever the line to the guilty past;
Lost Rainbow Maiden was the daughter of a now-deceased Terrestial goddess, a rogue calendar god, throughly corrupt, born of an illicit liaison with a handsome mortal man who caught theg goddess's fancy (who she took, regardless of wishes, and cast him aside when her fancy faded), and the daughter born of that union never even knew her father's name or what even happened to him. She was raised by the goddess, a throughly strange childhood, in which she was her mother's pretty doll, a plaything to simultaneously amuse and be neglected, and all the while she watched the stars.
She Exalted when she was fourteen, while tending her mother's garden, and realized that all the plants were diseased, despite all their outward appearances. She tore them all up, and was punished for it, and did not realize just what had happened to her, until agents of the Bureau of Destiny came for her.
And that, as they say, was that. While the Bureau of Heaven had been building a case against the rogue calendar goddess for quite some time, after she was taken away to heaven and placed into training, Lost Rainbow Maiden provided evidence against her mother that was the final damning nail in her coffin. Literally. She was executed for corruption: both because she was throughly corrupt, and would likely have done something truly terrible in her thirst for power, but also to make an example of her, a warning. Her star was forged into the Foe-Clearing Halberd that Lost Rainbow Maiden bears to this day.
Once she completed her year and a day training, Lost Rainbow Maiden was recruited into the Internal Affairs division, and proved quite adept and eager at the job-too eager in some ways, in fact, but that was a totally different story-and as the years went by, hunted down corrupt gods, until she was, in fact, given the position as the Auspicious Auditor of Divine Judgment, tasked with hunting down corrupt gods like her mother.
Lost Rainbow Maiden loves her job. Admittedly, she is well and truly practically married to her job, and her past youthful attempts to try to socialize and fit in are well behind her, even though she is still young for a Sidereal, if past the first blush of inexperience. Her personal life is as stark and bleak and pure and cold as the first snowfall at the Elemental Pole of Air, and perhaps she likes it better that way. Years ago, when she was still fairly new at being a Sidereal by the standards of heaven, she dated a young Chosen of Secrets named Xiadou Mei, the Regulator of the Archives of Revelry. But she didn't understand the way that normal relationships worked, and perhaps she was not ready for that type of intimacy yet, coming from such a strange childhood (and perhaps her heart was simply just ice, as some gossip), and maybe she was just a little too clingy and possessive, and had her newly-warming heart broken by a brief fling her lover had with a young Chosen of Serenity.
And that, as they say, is that, and the resulting fight not only ended that relationship, but also spread some bad blood between them. And Lost Rainbow Maiden has never trusted another living soul again.
Until all she has is her duty.
[edit] like some law unto myself;
Lost Rainbow Maiden, above all, is cold. She cares little for people: a childhood spent isolated in the company of a mad terrestrial goddess, plus heartbreak just when she was trying to reach out, pretty well sealed the bargain. She is logical and precise and driven, cold as the heart of winter, and extremely intimidating as well, bitter and sarcastic and just all in all, something of a loose cannon as well. Uptight and humorless, as well as just not quite getting how things work, she is just overall very menacing, and grumpy. Very very grumpy. And brooding.
Even years later, she is haunted by the memories of her childhood, of what she witnessed, and this, more then anything, has influenced her development. It is why she is so passionate about hunting down and punishing the corrupt: it is why she longs to cleanse the corruption from the Celestial Bureaucracy. Even now, she resents her mother: she loved her, as well as hated her, and even years later, cannot seem to reconcile this.
[edit] shadows fell on futile games;
Lost Rainbow Maiden is a rather tall-about 6'2"-young-appearing woman, slender, lithe, and athletic, with pale porcelain skin, long and flowing black hair that she wears loose, and the star-flecked deep violet eyes of a Chosen of Endings, strikingly beautiful in a delicate, cool way. She is perpetually frowning or scowling, and she carries herself with perfect, flowing, grace, yet somehow efficient, and favors wearing long and flowing sleeveless dresses of the deepest violet, carrying her Foe-Clearing Halberd with her.
No matter what she does, she always has an air of menace surrounding her. Which she doesn't even try to do anything about.
