Name: Black Mambo (Chihiro)
Cast: Night
Totemic Anima Banner: A coiled serpent
Origin: An orphan raised by immaculate monks in the city of Great Forks
History: Chihiro has no memory of her parents; the monks who raised her tell her that they found her on their doorstep when she was an infant. She was an unruly child who excelled in martial arts but was bored by the doctrine of the Immaculate Order. When she was old enough to notice that the monks lived like nobles while the peasants around them starved she started stealing food to give to the poor. She eventually graduated to stealing money and valuables and had nearly cleaned out the entire monastery by the time she hit her teens.
Chihiro began a life of crime on the streets of Great Forks and took the name "Black Mambo" -a type of snake. She loved the thrill of liberating valuables from dragon blooded but had no desire to keep her ill gotten treasure; she just gave what she stole to those who looked like they needed it. After several years, every noble in the city cursed her name and every peasant blessed it.
One night, she dreamed of a cave hidden near the city. She followed her vision and in the cave she discovered an underground labyrinth filled with ingenious traps. Over the course of three sleepless days and nights she bested them all and finally reached the central chamber. The power of the unconquered sun erupted inside her and she had another vision. She saw how the Deathlords had stolen the essences of the Solar Exalted and she new that it was her mission to steal them back. She put on the bracers she'd worn in a past life, tucked her Serpent-Sting Staff into her tunic, and left her manse confidant she'd find a way to pull off the greatest theft this age would ever see.
Motivation: To steal back the Solar essences captured by the Deathlords.
Intimacies: Black Mambo cares about caring for the poor of Great Forks and all who live in poverty thanks to the greed of the dragon blooded.
