Special Rite: Lynoure can steal Essence from a victim by terrifying him, as described below.
A dark-haired, beautiful young woman, the Demon of Shadow Shapes is one of Beleth's favored Servitors. Her Word grants her the power to enthrall a victim, someone to whom she's attuned. As his mind drifts off to sleep at night, she can make a Will roll to freeze him in place, unable to make a sound. She may be up to three blocks away. The victim may resist with a Will roll.
After pinning her victim, Lynoure can manifest in the room in the form of shadows, cast on the walls from an outside window or formed in an open closet door. She cannot manifest in a room with opaqued windows and closed closet doors.
If undisturbed for an hour, Lynoure will rob the victim of any Essence he has; he will stay awake the rest of the night in fear, having taken 2 hits to his Will. If he had no Essence, she gains 1 from the Symphony anyway, as terrifying lonely people in the dark is her own Rite.
She loves to menace children, and in doing so has recently attracted the attention of Ishmael, a Servitor of Blandine. Lynoure knows this, and has been leading him closer and closer to her, one child at a time, leaving messages for him with each victim. If he confronts her alone, she'll probably finish him off -- if she doesn't take a liking to him first.
Lynoure is a developed character, suitable as a patroness, rival or adversary. As a Word-bound servant of Beleth, she probably has a little domain of her own in the Marches; there may be more to Lynoure than meets the eye.
