Cary (Age: 215)
Real name: Caroline Easterly; her bestowed name is short for “caryatid” as in “caryatid column.”

An ambulatory statue in the form of a young woman, tasked as guardian of an important artifact in a hidden crypt. Despite her isolation and the nature of her duties, she has remained quite up-to-date on recent trends and fashions through badgering visitors to the artifact and a small illicit radio and television set (she is terrified that the authorities will find out she has not been paying the proper licensing fee). A devoted consumer of American culture, this has led to her speaking in a rather stereotypical California accent at a mile a minute. Despite her naïveté, she is incredibly skilled in combat and nigh-indestructable.

In 1820, she lived in Dublin as the daughter of an Anglo-Irish landlord and member of parliament; a youthful dalliance with a cruel sociopath led to her being kidnapped and sacrificed as part of the ritual needed to create an animated caryatid, which bound her soul within the stone (her companion, Tiddy, was bound in the same manner from an out-of-work governess).
