the koschei in the slavic tales was an immortal old wizard who kidnapped wives for shits and giggles. well, that’s not completely untrue. except koschei is a creepy old she-devil with the mindset of an eight year old who likes to peel the wings off of butterflies. there was a limit to what her library could impart her, and she outgrew them quickly.

the only real consistency in the tales is her tendency to run off with pretty wives in the middle of the night. it's more fun that way. no point in running off with a poor wench that nobody will notice went missing the next day. koschei was certainly attracted to a few of these women, but mostly she just wanted to keep them locked up in a pretty cage like a songbird. build a collection like a dragon hoard. sometimes she would remove a limb or two from her captives whenever her castle got too quiet. which was rather often, actually. even the most sheltered of women will fall into silence once they stop hoping to be rescued.

honestly, it's more fun to put them on the dissection table. sometimes, she talks to the women. sometimes they don't tell her things, so koschei just has to force it out of them, whether it is magical or by her own brand of persuasion.

it also became a little apparent that the married women were more likely to send prince ivans and alexeis and such running to her door. to her door. instead of away from her door. which is completely counterintuitive to the typical reactions of someone who had stumbled upon her creepy old castle. pretty wives eventually became among her favorite "guests".

eventually, ivan number 2389432 came along.

[attr="class","field"]Describe their personality. If sentences are too hard for you, go ahead and list positive/negative traits. Be sure to include your character's wish for the Holy Grail or explain why they don't have a wish.

• Describe what your character can do in combat, detailing their strengths and weaknesses. Don't forget to list their powers and spells! Every mage should have enough built-in weaknesses that they can be defeated. However, death slot mages can have far more strengths than they do weaknesses.
• You can either list out strengths and weaknesses separately, or you can list by powers, discussing each power's strengths and weaknesses.

  The Death of Koschei - The Immortal Soul. Koschei's soul is stored inside a needle, which is inside an egg, which is inside a duck, inside a hare, inside an iron chest, buried under an oaken tree, on an island in the ocean. Unless her soul is destroyed, Koschei will always regenerate her health and prana.

  ▬ ▬ ▬ C
  Bones - The Spectral Horse. A gift from Baba Yaga, Koschei can conjure up a skeletal steed that radiates magic. It leaves a clear prana trail in its wake for anyone magic savvy to follow, but it can phase through time and space, bringing its riders to a target destination faster than humanly possible.

  ▬ ▬ ▬ C
  Twelve Fetters - Chains of Marya's Dungeon. Twelve chains that, when all twelve are tied to one person, prevents movement and magic usage. The chains are powerless if not all twelve are secured. Whoever is trapped in the chains does not need food or drink, nor do they age.
• [attr="class","stat"]PRESENCE CONCEALMENT
  ▬ ▬ ▬ C
  If she wants to, she can fade into the background, such that only those that know she's there or are looking for her will notice her. Alternatively, she conceal her prana, appearing to be just a normal human being. Suitable for spying.
• [attr="class","stat"]MAGECRAFT
  ▬ ▬ ▬ C
  As a mage, Koschei's comparable to a well-learned and talented magus of modern day. She's not immensely skilled, but she has knowledge of and can practice basic spells from most schools of magic.
• [attr="class","stat"]ALTERNATE PRANA SOURCE
  ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ B
  Koschei can restore prana and heal her wounds by drinking water. For most injuries (any that would genuinely trouble a servant), this requires copious amounts of water.
• [attr="class","stat"]EYE FOR WOMEN
  ▬ ▬ ▬ C
  Perhaps not a skill to be proud of, Koschei has uncanny perception when it comes to women. She can discern bits and pieces of their life stories, identifying points of pride and emotional weaknesses.
