Aspity

Aspity (Оспина Ospina) is the owner of a hospice which harbors fugitives from the Order.

Description
The Order calls her "Sahba-ötün", she calls herself "Aspae-inun", and the locals quickly corrupted that name to "Aspity". She describes herself as a spirit created by the Earth to fulfill the will of the Law: to destroy "the vile Utopia" which should not exist. She describes herself as a spirit of revenge and the subtle dread of changing times. During The Marble Nest, she also describes herself as a "dream teller," and declares herself "souvilag'sh:" "The one who teaches how to walk."

She is sardonic and snide, fears no one, and seems to hate almost all people.

Background
She is often called an evil spirit and a product of the Earth; a mysterious creature. No one knows where she came from—only that she appeared during the First Outbreak.

Katerina's take on her:
«However odd, Aspity is a good person. She talks about death all the time. She asked me once why there was no Subarova Tomb at the Stone Yard cape and when it was about to appear—and she looked so innocent. She respects me as a Mistress, and that is something I cannot simply brush aside, especially since my followers abandon and betray me with each passing day...»

Sticky's take:
«Such a mysterious creature. No one knows how she came to be in the town. Unlike others, she's not in danger because she's immortal like Simon. They also say that after Simon had cast off all that was evil in his heart, the Steppe provided bones for her body, and that's how Aspity was born.»
