Rho (witch)

The woman only known as Rho (b. Unknown) is a witch hosting a powerful, yet low-class divine spirit. Her true age is unknown, but she first appears in the records of the magical community in the late 9th century BCE. She can only be found in the depths of the reverse-side location Defiled Labyrinth.

Rho appears to be a Carthage magician judging from her appearance, and she potentially wields incredible magic on her own. She is apparently immortal with eternal youth, untouched by the ravages of time.

History
The earliest mention of Rho's existence is a fragmentary record dated to the late 9th century BCE from northern Africa. The record only mentions her in passing, remarking on her strong magical abilities, though it is unknown whether her strong skills were related to her status as a Carthage magician or as a witch.

She disappeared from the magical record in the early 3rd century BCE and is believed to have entered the Defiled Labyrinth through an unknown entrance. Rho has not returned to the near-side since that time.

Divine Spirit
The name of the divinity within Rho is unknown, but many of its attributes have been determined through the centuries of her existence. The divinity is closely tied to blood and appears to be a low-class yet incredibly powerful divinity.

Abilities
Rho appears to be immortal and eternally young. Her body has ceased aging long ago, giving her the appearance of a young woman in her early 20s, though her highly decorated clothing and veils obscure this face. Despite her incredible youth and immortality, her body matches that of a human. She does have enhanced strength and durability and is easily able to break out of steel restraints.

Many of Rho's spells utilize blood to execute their effects. The blood must be fresh but does not have to be contained within a human body. She is capable of manipulating blood in her environment to create tools and weapons.

Rho is able to create illusory clones of herself throughout the Defiled Labyrinth and potentially to the near-side, though there are no confirmed records of this. Various reports from explorers within the Defiled Labyrinth have noted encounters with her, even away from her known abode.
