Larissa, Warrior Princess
Bearer of Nighthread (200 pt version)
This princess of Amber brings mystery with her to the Eternal City. Strangely neutral of expression-- yet with compelling violet eyes. Her manner seems to hold you back, or is this the way that she deals with everyone?
No. In fact with most people, she is more forgiving. But you have the blood of Amber in your veins-- and that mark has brought mostly misery to Larissa.
And she doesn't know the half of it.
For her Father is so obsessed with the destruction of Amber, that he has mixed his own blood with the Demons of Chaos to produce his daughter. Larissa's mother is a demon, one still alive and waiting the fruition of certain plans. There is a pact concerning Larissa, one of which she is unaware, that promises freedom for the Demons from the yoke of the Courts of Chaos. Freedom for them, and doom for Amber.
Dalt just needs for the rest of the plan to fall into place.
Current Objectives: Larissa has a wary relationship with her father, Dalt. Most of what he has told her of Amber needs to be carefully verified. Dalt is a hard man and an even tougher father. Larissa makes up her own mind about things, and she is in Amber to find the truth.

Tips for Playing Larissa
Larissa has strong values that her Father would rather she didn't. Her upbringing has involved her with men of honor and men of cruel minds. Unfortunately for Dalt, Larissa has seen the worth of the former.
She is of a mixed heritage that gives her strange abilities. She has much of Dalt's potential, but she exceeds him in some areas and is still learning. She is tender with those who can not defend themselves. Merciless with the oppressors.
Yet, she has not yet realized her true background.
Will it crush her spirit to learn that both her father and her mother are manipulating her for the downfall of Amber? That many of the powers and friends she does have are demons and demonspawn jockeying for positions of power with the Chosen One?
Larissa as Mother
Larissa would never enter into motherhood unless she truely knew that the man would be a good father. This is her criteria for motherhood. If she was betrayed in this, it would mean someone's life.
Her children would be able to look up to her. She would try to pass on the values that she learned so dearly at the side of Troy.
Larissa as a Player of the Family Games
From Larissa's point of view, the Family Game is a awful reminder of her Father's worst qualities. She has no patience for it. She will not stand to be manipulated by the Elders or anyone else.
Allies and Enemies: She has more allies than she knows. A conspiracy of demons has been waiting for the chance that Dalt has offered them. These demons would do almost anything to be free of the powers of Chaos.
If she knew, how would she react?
She would never submit to their schemes willingly. That means her allies will someday become her unstoppable enemies.
