Runes : BELLATOSA

Type : Maimed Hyena Witch

Nature : Selfish

Bellatosa, the Maimed Hyena Witch of Selfishness. She takes on the form of a chained, maimed Hyena, her once-beautiful songs coming out from her jaws all twisted and wrong. She stands on two, and wields sleek black axes or daggers. At around two metres tall, she is not exactly huge for a Witch, but what she lacks in size, she makes up in cunning and agility.

Her body is cut open in several places, and where her heart should be, only a gaping hole is left. When she shakes her body, shed-fur clouds coalesce into her minions, small hyenas, will descend around her and create a meat barrier out of their bodies to shield her from attacks. She is also capable of shadow-shifting, an ability which enables her to move from one spot to another rapidly.

Her barrier is a single, isolated room with nothing in it, leaving no place to hide. There are no handholds, no nooks, no crannies, just plain, open space surrounded by four imposing walls. One would be forced to face the Witch head on. That is, until her other minions, Leenatosa, begin to sing, their eye casting illusory rays around the barrier. This shifts the landscape to accommodate the situation. Various battlegrounds can be conceived by her familiars, and they are all either to her advantage as a deadly Assassin, or would exploit the weaknesses of her enemies.

Minions
Millitosa - The small hyenas that form the meat barrier. They will gladly sacrifice themselves for their mistress.

Leenatosa - Imp-like familiars who sing and emit light from their eyes, casting colourful illusions all around to confuse the foe. They can create very realistic illusions, including beasts and humans alike.
