Garments/Armor: Wears a backless white dress at most times but may wear a black robe with strange markings on it. She wears two rings on either ring finger. On her right hand is a ring as clear as glass. Within the confinements of the glass are shadows spinning and writhing, on her left hand is a black obsidian ring smooth with no markings. Both seem connected somehow.

Other: On the palm of her right hand is a tattoo of a black hand with a white flame in the center. On her upper right shoulder is a similar tattoo. These mark her as a member of the Syndicate of the Black hand. Saphrina is always smoking a cigarette though not many know that she smokes cigarettes made from a certain powder that amplifies shadow magic if consumed. The cigarettes get Saphrina on a slight "high" amplifying her shadow abilities for the duration.

Personality: Dark, Grim, Evil, Sly.

History
Saphrina Ayls was born on a small farm in northern Westfall, at the age of eight her parents were both killed by bandits that destroyed her home. (It is taken for granted her brother (14 at the time) was also killed in this attack though no body was ever recovered.)

After her parents' death, Saphrina was taken in by the church and taught the light. Little is known of her life from age 9-18 but what is known is that weekly Saphrina would sneak out of the church and meet with a cloaked man named Lord Xarrax whom would tutor her in the ways of Shadow Magic. When Saphrina was 15, she began testing mind control and attack techniques on herself, it is at this time that it is believed that Saphrina lost some of her sanity and humanity to the Shadow. At 18, Saphrina Ayls was cast out of the church and disappeared into the northern lands of Azeroth. She returned at 28 with a full arsenal of Shadow tricks and founded the Syndicate of the Black Hand. Since then, Saphrina has embedded herself in the underworld of Stormwind creating a large criminal record and many enemies.
