Personality:
Spunky and deft on her feet, Guillotine is more than suited for her mission. She believes in perserverance and is almost always cheerful in her own ghastly way. She prefers the nights to days and is more likely to scare others than get scared by them. If you try to fight her or get in the way of her sacred mission, you'll find out soon enough just how tough she really is underneath that smile.
Backstory:
Guillotine was born in a strange sector of the Kawani lands into a herd that reveled in the night of Samhain. Everyday was Halloween to the herd. Anomalies that other herds would consider imperfections or "creepy" were prized amongst the herd. The more unique and frightening, the higher standing a member would have.
Celebrating the unique and strange, the herd celebrated even more so on the actual night of Samhain--even having a custom of offering a pumpkin to the Great Pumpkin King in honor of the night, and in hopes to be chosen to be blessed.
Born and raised in the Halloweentown herd, Guillotine daily frolicked on the tombstones of the ancient human graveyard the herd resided on. In the lower class of the herd--without any Halloweentown twists, Guillotine did not expect to be blessed or chosen by the Great Pumpkin King.
However, on the Celebration of Samhain, Guillotine was chosen by the Great Pumpkin King to both be blessed and given a mission. She was to go out in the Kawani lands alone and explore the world and it's customs to bring back to her people, along with a certain artifact.
Chosen, she waited for her gift to reveal itself. In the light of the moon, the scenes of her home spilled out over her skin, a permanent reminder of where she came from and what she loved to take with her on the long journey while she looked for the "Storyteller" in order to claim the books he carried and carry them back to the Great Pumpkin King. (Or so the legend goes)
