Emp is the bastard child of a Breeding Imp of Shadow and Nerisai Tülverin. Conceived within Shadow’s domain during Nerisai’s period of captivity and coercion, Emp exists as both living proof of her subjugation and an unwanted tether binding her to her former master. Named by Shadow himself, the imp was forced upon Nerisai and thereafter followed her relentlessly, a reminder she could neither deny nor destroy without consequence.

Emp is a small, wiry imp with a lean, sinewed frame and elongated limbs that give it an unsettling, predatory grace. Its skin is leathery and dark, marked by faint ridges and scars that suggest infernal breeding rather than natural birth although its skin is a lot lighter than normal Imps, and its eyes, a vivid Green, matched its mothers. Long, hooked horns rise from its brow and curve backward, framing sharp, luminous eyes that glow faintly in low light.

Membranous wings sprout from its back, ragged at the edges yet strong enough for short, darting flights. A thin tail trails behind it, expressive and constantly in motion. Emp often carries scraps of parchment, trinkets, or tokens clutched possessively.

Emp is sly, observant, and unnervingly attentive. It speaks rarely unless prompted, preferring to watch and listen, filing away information for reasons that are not always clear. While it shows a warped loyalty to Shadow’s will, its attachment to Nerisai is more complex, a mixture of dependency, motherly need, and possessive fixation.

It delights in reminding Nerisai of her past humiliation, not out of malice alone, but because that memory defines its own existence. Despite this, Emp is not mindlessly cruel. It can be cunning, patient, and even protective in moments where its own survival aligns with hers. Its humour is dark and mocking, learned from the environment in which it was raised.
