Drusilla Agrippina Lucillus (21) a striking yet odd looking young woman with dark hair and mismatched eyes, one being blue, the other green. An orphan, raised in The Pens, a collective training camp for orphaned, unwanted or kidnapped children of the Republic, she had been forced to fight from the second she was weaned. The children were not fed one by one, instead food was placed into each 'pen' of similar aged children, perhaps 50 or so per pen, and they had to fight to get it. The weak ones were slowly weeded out, until the strong moved onto the next pen, and the next round of harsh training.
Only 1/10 were deemed worthy and grew to adulthood. Drusilla was a vicious child and grew into an even more psychopathic young woman, who cared nothing for anyone (but her brother in previous) and delighted in petty cruelties. She was selected, perhaps unsurprisingly, for the task of an inquisitor to the Emperor himself, where she delighted in torturing those thought to be concealing things.
However, she was uncontrollable and often ended up killing those she was supposed to get information from before said info could be collected. Still, she was better chained and used than unleashed...Who knows what she might do if bored. Someone like her had to be kept busy...Or else she might turn those blades upon any random person who annoyed her.
To add to her strangeness, Drusilla appeared to have rather a creative streak in other ways...It was her whim to, when the bodies of her victims were discarded, collect bones from them, clean and boil them, and then pain them any number of lavish colours to decorate her rooms, making decorations from them. This...hobby, if it could be called that, hardly endeared her to others, but the Emperor had a strange affection for his savage little monster and never made any move to contain her more than necessary...
Besides, he might have need of such a creature in time. There is talk of rebellion in the Senate and armies...
