But appearances can be deceiving where the undead are concerned, for Océan has surpassed her second century beneath the Curse of Caine. Athénaïs stands 1.67 meters tall and weighs no more than 45 kilos soaking wet. She has the delicate frame of a French aristocrat and the pale countenance of someone who has not seen the sun in years, or centuries to be more precise. Of course, the baroness is a beauty, but her charms are of a more androgynous nature, such that even in her breathing days she could pass herself off as an effeminate young man. Her face is almond shaped, giving her a faintly fox-like visage with intelligent, midnight dark eyes that seem to peer in all directions at once. She has lustrous black hair which she wears short as men did in the early twentieth century. Her eyebrows and eyelashes are black without any particular feminine quality, which nonetheless still convey her feelings in exquisite detail, at least those she wishes others to observe. The Baroness is given to wearing masculine dress, and she prefers the finest Parisian ensemble available.

Sobriquet: Baroness (official - Océane prefers her inherited and feminine titles rather than the more masculine title of prince), Athénaïs (Athena - personal and private)
Appearance: To judge from her appearance alone, one would think that the Baroness Daramitz is a young woman, in her early twenties at most. But appearances can be deceiving where the undead are concerned, for Océan has surpassed her second century beneath the Curse of Caine. Athénaïs stands 1.67 meters tall and weighs no more than 45 kilos soaking wet. She has the delicate frame of a French aristocrat and the pale countenance of someone who has not seen the sun in years, or centuries to be more precise. Of course, the baroness is a beauty, but her charms are of a more androgynous nature, such that even in her breathing days she could pass herself off as an effeminate young man. Her face is almond shaped, giving her a faintly fox-like visage with intelligent, midnight dark eyes that seem to peer in all directions at once. She has lustrous black hair which she wears short as men did in the early twentieth century. Her eyebrows and eyelashes are black without any particular feminine quality, which nonetheless still convey her feelings in exquisite detail, at least those she wishes others to observe. The Baroness is given to wearing masculine dress, and she prefers the finest Parisian ensemble available. The only thing that even hints that she is anything beyond male are her pierced ear-lobes, but with a bit of face paint and sticking plaster even that ceases to allude to her gender; she even wears men's jewelry and colognes.
