* AndIMustScream[=/=]FateWorseThanDeath: She likes dishing these out to those who trespass. Being turned to mulch is the least of what happens: she can bind your still-aware spirit/soul to your physical remains until you do become compost over centuries.

In Sine Die 14.6, she states that she has lived in the same place, and performed the same actions, for ''nine million days,'' making her the oldest character in the story by far save for Faysal Anwar-even Isadora is only in the four-digit years.
