Physical description: Ithea always wears black or blue robes. Her hair is down to her hips and is worn either in two braids or loose. If braided, blood red ribbons are braided into it. Her face is almost always painted white, with black and red accents. Her true appearance is known only to her slaves.
Personality: Ithea is cold and unfeeling. Like most Dark Witches of her sect, she is renowned for her cruelty. She is more so to men then women but despises weakness in any. She is more likely to kill a woman crying then a man any day. Her goal is to rule her sect one day, but to do that, she must gain much more reputation and power. One day, she will challenge for this position.
Background:
Ithea was born on the planet of the Dark Witches. Her sect was renown for the raising of its daughters, only one in four lived to take her tests. Ithea's mother was a lower witch, laughed at and living on the fringes of their society.
While her mother had passed her test, she had never succeeded much beyond that.
Ithea, however, had been her mother's dream. The girl had shown promise from the time she was very young. She had a knack, even as a small child, for knowing what people were thinking. She began to have visions by the time she was six. Tass was sure her daughter would be a witch to contend with.
However, the girl had one failing, she was too soft. More then once, Tass had caught Ithea giving mercy to a slave boy. She had found her with a kitten. The girl had a need for love that worried her mother. Soon, however, her mother found it a strength. She realized that Ithea's need for love could be the very thing to turn her fully to the darkside.
When she was fourteen, her mother gave her a handsome slave boy. The boy made even an older woman's heart race. Ithea soon was enchanted with her new toy and took him everywhere. Tass knew the boy had a fondness for other boys. A fact that made him useless to most darkwitches and perfect to her task.
As Ithea tried harder and harder to win the love of her slave and bring him to her bed, Tass began to question Ithea's abilities to ever attract any man. Ithea became jealous if another girl even looked at the boy. It resulted in the death of two other compound girls. Ithea began to harden towards her sister witches. Tass pushed it one step further. She encouraged the lad to find a lover and then led Ithea to them. Ithea, on seeing her slave with another boy, killed her love outright in hatred and anger. Not only did she realize that she could not win his love, but that he would prefer a man to her only strengthened the idea that no man would love her. The circle became complete. Ithea remained possessive of her slaves, never sharing them but she did not mate with the either. Tass did not worry, when the right man came along, Tass would mate. Until then the circle of love and hate fueled her dark powers.
Ithea became a NightSister when she was 19. Her mother had looked forward to that night with great joy. However, Ithea's task had been to kill her mother. All Tass' work had been for a great success, but she had not lived to see it.
The Mistress of the Night began to fear Ithea's power. She sent other witches against her only to see them fall. She knew the day was coming when the girl would challenge her. They both knew it. It was there, burning in Ithea's eyes every time she looked at the Mistress. So the Mistress sent Ithea to a planet beyond Belkidan, near the corporate sector to pick up a cargo of new slaves. The slaves were to bring new blood into the brood.
The Captain had been paid to get lost while in hyperspace and crash his ship into an unoccupied planet far from Dushoulle. The planet was in the Tireen sector. The witch would never return and the Mistress would not have to face her. Since Ithea had no piloting skills, even if she lived, she would never get home.
