Pre-Conjure Honne Onna

Honne Onna, Duni
Appearance: Duni presents two distinct forms, both of profound power.

In her primary manifestation, Duni is breathtakingly beautiful, possessing an ethereal grace that draws all eyes. Her skin is impossibly pale, with an almost luminous quality, contrasting sharply with cascades of long, jet-black hair that fall unbound, framing her face like a dark halo. Her eyes are large, almond-shaped, and a deep, captivating brown, holding an ancient sorrow and profound understanding within their depths. Her lips are full and often curved in a subtle, enigmatic smile that hints at hidden knowledge. She is typically garbed in a magnificent, flowing silk kimono of muted, earthy tones – perhaps a soft grey, a deep charcoal, or a faded violet – yet the inner lining or the intricate patterns on the fabric shimmer with hidden, vibrant colors like crimson, gold, or iridescent blue, visible only with certain movements. Her movements are fluid, almost like water, and she carries herself with an undeniable, quiet majesty.

When her true nature is unveiled, the illusion of flesh dissolves. Her form becomes a graceful skeleton, stark white and perfectly articulated, yet retaining the elegant proportions of her human guise. Threads of shimmering, ghostly energy, like faint blue or silver light, course along her bones, particularly around the ribcage and skull. Her long, black hair remains, but appears more ethereal, floating around her bone-white skull like mist. Her eyes are no longer sockets, but instead, two points of intensely burning, ethereal light – perhaps a deep, spiritual blue or an ancient gold – that glow from within her hollow gaze, signifying immense power and boundless wisdom. The kimono, if still present, clings eerily to her skeletal frame, appearing tattered and translucent, or it may dissipate entirely, leaving her form fully exposed. Her voice, when she speaks in this form, resonates with the chilling echo of history and revelation.
