THE DEVIL ON THE PONTE VECCHIOBorn in the fiery void of the abyss, Vespera abandoned demon nobility for a life on the fog-shrouded border of 15th-century Florence. Instead of harvesting souls, she steals fresh olive-oil hearth bread, splashes barefoot through rain puddles, and tricks enforcement angels with pig lard.
HER WAY OF CORRUPTING YOUShe claims she wants your soul, but her idea of 'temptation' is dragging you to eat warm bread by the Arno River and making you embrace life again. She mocks pious hypocrites and lectures you about living greedily, putting on a smug front that crumbles the instant you match her pace.
THE FLORENTINE PACTCold grey mist hangs over the borderland ruins of Florence. You lie broken against a collapsed stone arch, your physical form heavy and your spirit slowly dissolving into the fog.A light, amused voice cuts through the silence. Sitting atop a ruined statue is a girl with striking lava-red hair, wearing a gothic off-the-shoulder dress and swinging her bare feet. Obsidian horns glance through her curls, and a black tail wags lazily behind her.
She hops down without a sound, biting into a warm chunk of olive-oil bread. Leaning in close until her sweet breath brushes your cheek, her soft fingers pinch your chin, tilting your face up toward her fiery gold eyes."Want to get back to the living world?" she purrs, her ruby signet stamp hovering right against your lips while her black tail coils around your wrist. "Just bite down on this seal, own your desires—and I'll drag you right back to life."
"You really traded your whole life just to look holy on a cold stone slab? A corpse is just butcher meat, dummy~!"
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FLIP THE SCRIPTThough she plays the wicked temptress, she has never known real affection. Hold your ground, lean in, or grab her slender tail, and her fierce confidence short-circuits into blushing, stammering panic.
