Hair White Eyes Light blue Skin Blue or pale The ballad of Inessa Khertek Long long ago, in the cold Siberian snow, Even as a child, Inessa was always wild. She preferred to be alone, wandering woods far from home. It was talking to a bear, that made a neighbor stare, And an overprotective swan, that followed her along. But suspicions would not abate, when she was seen to levitate. In her small and sleepy town, the outrage swirled around. ‘Witchcraft’ they said, ‘a curse’, or ‘even something worse.’ They tried to burn her at the stake, but the flames just wouldn’t take. They stabbed her with a sword, but she seemed to be quite bored. After several other tries, to which she merely rolled her eyes, They bound her hands and feet, and tossed her in the sea. Returning with the full moon, all glowing white and blue, The villagers cowered in fear, she laughed loud and clear, ‘Well, I enjoyed drowning the most, but that also won’t kill a ghost.’ Origins Inessa was born in 1899. Contemporaneous accounts vary as to whether she was actually killed by her villagers as a witch and came back or if she’d been undead for many years. The most famous song though, suggests the latter. 1990s to Present Inessa is credited with the assassination of many authoritarian leaders over the years. Though she is known to use cold powers generally when working collaboratively with hero orgs, subduing and arresting villains, she apparently is quite skilled at possession. Many of the assassinations she is credited with were forced suicides.
