Milliways Dossier: Lady Margolotta


Threads: (x)

History

  • Lady Margolotta Amaya Katerina Assumpta Crassina von Überwald
  • Vampire who wears pink jumpers with bats on them? What?
  • Lives on the Disc, and has a castle in Überwald
  • Clacks - "Based on semaphore, the machinery consists of a series of towers in sight of each other, each of which contains a grid of eight shutters. By opening and closing these shutters, very complex messages can be coded"
  • Year of the notional serpent, but it's going to be the year of the reciprocating llama soon

Impressions

  • Threat Level: LOW - Lady Margolotta is extremely powerful, but most of her threat lies in her experience with other people - I have a feeling she's a decent manipulator
  • Species on the Disc: human, dwarfs, trolls; vampires, werewolves, zombies; gargolyes, orcs, goblins; golems, elves, feegles, gods
  • "That is the point of vampiric reform: no more blood-drinking! Vampires instead become useful members of society, and everybody can move forwards."
  • The Überwald League of Temperance - vampire reform, drinks cocoa instead
  • Asked if I worked for some sort of newspaper - what?
  • "Your questions are very much to the point, as if you were preparing an article or a dossier"
  • "You may be developing a 'map of the empire on a scale of 1:1' kind of problem there"
  • Knows Rae
  • People write to advice columns "because they think the personal is the same as the important"
  • Just World Fallacy
  • Knows Javert - talked of a vampire victims' support group
  • Owns adorable little fruit bats - "A traveller brought them to me from the coast of the Tezumen empire"
  • "Working on one thing for a decade or two is nothing. Time in which to sneeze"
  • Had an averse reaction to the "b-vurd"
  • Had a similarly averse reaction to ruling the world: "No sane person would want to rule the world. The world is made up of small problems and people who want to complain about the noises their neighbours make at night"
  • No one rules the Disc - "The lines of relative power in a real world don't work like branches, they work like brambles, with many pointy bits, and a mess of which nobody can see where it started"
  • Having a castle and an Igor to serve you is traditional when you're a vampire
  • Vampires are born into existence in the Disc
  • Vampire illnesses - Delusions of grandeur and strange obsessions
  • Her obsessions: Cocoa. Knitting. Learning

Weaknesses

  • None for now.

Scabs

  • How old is she, really?

Opportunities

  • Has offered to teach me knitting!
  • I can learn more about the Disc from her, too, excellent
