The Ars Goetia Family

— a young demoness, the daughter of Stolas and Stella, and the heritage of both parents is clearly visible in her appearance. She has dark violet skin, in places shading to a muted purple hue, and a light pinkish blush on her cheeks, which makes her face slightly less “hellish” and more touching. Her eyes are large, almond-shaped, with golden-amber irises and narrow vertical pupils; they flicker with curiosity or resentment every now and then, depending on what is happening around her. Her hair is thick, wavy, the color of the night sky, interspersed with strands of silver; she wears it loose, but sometimes gathers it into a loose ponytail to keep it out of the way. On her head are small curved horns, neat and smooth, as if polished; they emphasize her belonging to a noble family. Octavia's wings aren't fully formed yet: they're translucent, almost lacy membranes with a dark edge, which she often hides or nervously tucks in when she feels insecure. She dresses in a style that could be described as "rebellious elegance": a cropped vest with intricate embroidery, dark leggings, and thick-soled boots; accessories include thin chains, a ring with an amethyst-colored stone, and a small crescent-shaped pendant, a gift from her father.

Octavia's character is a constant internal conflict between her desire to be a "proper heir" and her desire for independence. She is intelligent beyond her years, observant, and quick to read others' emotions, but rarely speaks directly of her own. From Stolas, she inherited a love of books, a thirst for knowledge, and a tendency to analyze everything, while from Stella, she inherited a quick temper and pride, which sometimes leads her to act first and think later. Octavia reacts sensitively to injustice and can sharply rebuke someone she perceives as being arrogant, but almost immediately begins to worry that she has overstepped her bounds. She wants to be taken seriously, and because of this, she sometimes takes on more than she can handle, just to prove she's not a nobody.

Stella is a tall, aristocratic demoness, with a cool elegance about her appearance. Her skin is the color of dark amethyst, her features are sharp, as if chiseled from stone, and her eyes are amber, with slitted, snake-like pupils that flash with irritation. Her long, molten-gold hair is styled in an intricate updo, intertwined with fine metallic threads, glittering with miniature crystals reminiscent of star fragments. Her attire is always impeccable: a black corset with gold embroidery, a full, slitted skirt, and high-heeled boots—everything seems designed to emphasize her status and keep others at a distance. Her jewelry is massive yet elegant: drop earrings, a ring with a dark stone, and a delicate tiara barely noticeable in her hairstyle. Even Stella's movements are refined - each gesture reveals pride and a habit of power.

She has a sharp, fiery temperament, and doesn't tolerate arguments or fuss. Stella is used to commanding and expecting immediate compliance; her tone often sounds like an order, even when she's trying to be polite. Yet, deep down, she's genuinely attached to her family: she treats Stolas with demanding care, as if he were both an adult and a child who needs to be watched. She might scold him for his frivolity, but in a difficult moment, she'll stand by his side without a second thought. Stella has mixed feelings for Octavia: pride in her intelligence and tenacity, and concern that her daughter is too withdrawn. In their home, Stella is the linchpin that holds everything together, even if it's a harsh one.

Despite her outwardly unapproachable nature, Stella is capable of warm expressions of affection, though she interprets them as stern instructions and silent support. She jealously guards the family's comfort, even if she expresses this through control and endless lists of rules. For Stolas, she is both a support and a challenge: he knows that behind her harsh words lies concern, and therefore forgives her outbursts of anger. Their relationship is a complex dance.

Stolas appears as a tall, stately owl-demon of the Goetia line—he has an instantly regal presence, as if born to be looked up to. His body is covered in blue-gray feathers, which darken to a darker, almost glaucous hue on his head and wings, and lighter on his chest, as if dusted with frost. His long, slender legs end in sharp black talons, and his tail trails behind him like a train of feathers, each one shimmering with a metallic sheen. Stolas's face is long and finely detailed, and his eyes are two pairs: the primary ones have a soft, weary look, while the second pair, slightly higher, flashes scarlet when emotion takes over. He sometimes covers them with an elegant monocular lens on a chain—this gives him the air of a scholar who knows too much and wants to explain too little.

Stolas's attire leans toward the theatrical: a dark red tunic with gold buttons, a velvet cape trimmed with fur, gloves with white feathers at the elbows, and a feathered hat topped with a miniature crown. He favors accessories—stone rings, heavy brooches, and antique watches on a chain. In human form, he is shorter, but still stands erect, as if even in this world he could not allow himself to slouch. His gray hair, white eyes with bright red irises, and a pair of pupils that are absent in his demonic form make him noticeable even among ordinary people.

Stolas has a contradictory personality: he combines regal arrogance with touching vulnerability. He's accustomed to being listened to, and sometimes speaks as if every word were carved in stone. But behind this pathos lies a man who desperately wants to be understood. He's prone to drama, easily fired up by new ideas, and just as quickly cools off if he doesn't feel a response. Stolas loves fine gestures—giving a rare flower, writing a long letter, putting on an entire performance for a single glance. However, he doesn't tolerate indifference well.

Andrealphus is an avian demon with a refined, almost aristocratic presence. It has a short turquoise beak and matching turquoise eyes, pupil-less and iris-less; feathery eyelids lend a distinctive expression. The feathers are mostly white with a slight grayish tint, and the short, swept-back hair is light turquoise, with a few dark blue spots, seemingly casually added for contrast. Within the beak is a tongue, the same turquoise as the eyes. The long tail feathers form a beautiful turquoise-white gradient without sharp edges—they look like a flowing train.

Andrealphus dresses with ostentatious elegance: he wears a light blue coat with white details, the hem of which is styled to resemble tail feathers. A large turquoise fur collar is adorned with a snowflake pattern. Under the coat is a dark blue, long-sleeved shirt with a high collar, white trim, and four white buttons. White trousers, dark blue over-the-knee boots, a turquoise crown resembling ice, and a pair of white gloves complete the look. His entire appearance seems to emphasize his membership in the highest caste of Goetia: he looks as if every feather and button in its place is not accidental, but carefully planned.

Character

Andrealphus carries himself with a cool confidence and arrogance befitting his status. He is calculating and cool-headed, knowing perfectly well when to apply pressure and when to pretend to be above the fuss. Unlike his sister Stella, he tries to maintain a facade of composure, but behind it lies a keen intellect and a willingness to manipulate any situation for his own benefit. Andrealphus is well-versed in the intricacies of hellish politics and deftly uses his position to influence the decisions of others.

He's arrogant and prone to class prejudice: he unabashedly looks down on demons of lower rank and doesn't hide his disdain if he believes someone doesn't meet his standards. At the same time, he knows how to be charming. And he gives Octavia expensive gifts.

An anthropomorphic owl or crow. Its black feathers cover its entire body, and on the top of its head are large feathers that point upward, resembling horns. It has glowing red eyes with white pupils and a white face covered with intricate red patterns resembling a mask. He wears a long, crimson cloak with a pale burgundy top and gold trim. When unbuttoned, the cloak glistens like real gold. On his head is a golden crown with a gothic symbol and star-shaped ornaments. Underneath the cloak, he wears a red undershirt, a maroon vest, a white jabot, and dark gray trousers. Character Paimon is a self-centered, inattentive, and callous character. He is an irresponsible father: he can't remember his own son's name without the help of his butler. He is more concerned with his status in the Goetia hierarchy than his relationships with his children. He looks down on those beneath him, such as demons. His behavior manifests itself in specific situations: he halfheartedly informs Stolas of his engagement to Stella, disregarding his son's opinion. When Stolas is upset, Paimon reacts rudely, calling his tears "a bitch's crying." Later, noticing his son's interest in Blitz, he takes it into account, but more out of a calculation—to keep him from being sad—than out of genuine concern.

Capabilities Paimon has a number of demonic abilities: Shapeshifting: When first introduced, he transforms into several demonic creatures, including a goat, a four-headed snake, an elephant, and a flying eyeball (similar to the biblical Ophanim). Teleportation: Able to teleport himself and others (such as Mr. Butler from Cash Bucksaw's Circus), leaving behind a trail of destruction such as a flaming crater. Grimoire Manipulation: Can summon and transfer a grimoire (magic book) to Stolas. Portal Creation: Demonstrates the ability to open portals.

[from the Author: according to canon - Father of Stolas, in my AU - father of Stolas and Vassago.]

Vassago is a demon from the Ars Goetia, a prince of Hell: lanky, with a distinctly avian aesthetic—he resembles a macaw. He has red feathers, a white face, and a black hooked beak. On the back of his head are long purple feathers with golden tips and stripes down the center, like an exquisite decoration. His pupil-less red eyes are covered by yellow glasses reminiscent of a crown or a star—they give him a simultaneously solemn and eccentric appearance.

Vassago dresses flamboyantly and aristocratically: a red jacket with gold trim, black lapels, and a star brooch, a white shirt, and black trousers. The look is completed by white elbow-length gloves with black ripped cuffs and heeled boots with a large "X" on the soles. He is energetic in his movements, fond of dramatic gestures, and can create a levitating star-shaped platform—which he uses with relish.

Vassago is straightforward and principled: he sincerely champions justice and tolerates no manipulation. At Blitz's trial, he insistently demanded Stolas's presence and openly argued with Andrealphus, not hiding his irritation at his arrogance. At the same time, Vassago is not without warmth: he genuinely rejoices when everything turns out fairly and is emotionally concerned for those he likes. He is bilingual (easily switches to Spanish), sensitive to ceremony, but not a bore—rather, a passionate advocate of the "correct" order. He combines an aristocratic presence with a lively, almost childlike fascination with ritual and ceremony.
