Personal history
Goldday, Tinkermoon, 1313
The entire House of Underhand attended the Whisper Vote of Vizier Absalom and Viziera Damasque Laureat, and Vizier Kronk Greenskin, all in their creepy birdfaced masks.Eclipseday between Soldiermoon and Sailormoon, 1313
Proserpina was sent to investigate the summons from House Underhand's spider alchemist creatures after they discovered while Hugo Dargent (disguised as Victor Dargent-Laureat) attempted to escape the Underhand Estate. Her mask allowed her to see "Victor" even though he was invisible, and the subsequent fight got so dire that Basil opened the Efreeti Bottle, releasing Viceduke Fentibar the Bonded for the first time. Proserpina was almost immediately Scorching Rayed to death by the Viceduke, who subseqently went on to kill most of the witnesses and burn them all to ashes, so they could not rise as ghouls. The Viceduke then impersonated Proserpina, activating the Crow Traps in the Entrance Hall of the Underhand Estate and temporarily frightening Nycteme and Corvus Underhand into thinking the Thing In the Downstairs Room might have found them.Mental Trauma
"Of those thieves that steal their way through the way through what is rightfully their creator’s. Of them I cannot say so much I’m afraid. Like most of the Thing's creations, their kind do not sleep and so they do not dream. But they do have fears. I know this. I am one."The Man Who Is Not There tells Lindie Asklepa the nightmares of the Noble Court.
Social
Religious Views
Although Doppelgängers are Things That Go Bump In The Night, and are therefore traditionally creatures of the Thing In the Downstairs Room, House Underhand are a family of Doppgängers who were stolen from the Thing by the Thief. It is unclear whether Proserpina was willingly a Thievian, or for that matter, whether any of her family are.
