Effie

Effie is a Wraith from Little Five Points.

Overview

Effie was a precocious child, filled with a love of the world around her. She often sneaked out of her house and explored the neighborhood, despite constant warnings by her parents for her to stay where t was safe. At the age of six, she met a stranger in the area. His name was Jack. For several weeks they played together, despite his being almost 40 years old. Then one day, when Jack came to meet with her in their special place, he brought a new toy. Effie didn't like the knife as much as Jack did, but he made her play anyway. After he was finished, Jack threw Effie's body into a nearby creek and left the area, never to return.

A true little girl lost, Effie's body was never found, nor was her Corpus. She rested inside her Caul for over a century, finally escaping in 1974. Since then she has dwelt in Little Five, generally speaking only to her beloved relic rag doll, Mary. Others, even those she has some small trust for, get only monosyllabic answers and shy smiles.

Lately, Effie has befriended a black cat she call Jack. Jack teaches Effie all sorts of wonderful tricks for defending herself from any wraith who might try to cause her trouble. Jack has even taught her to bring very bad people to her new home in the Blue Crystal, where Jack's friends can help punish them and make sure they never bother Effie again.

Effie is a thin, blonde little girl, apparently only seven years old. Her clothes date back to before the Civil War, and she is never seen without a battered old rag doll in her hands. She seldom smiles, but often hums to herself as she walks through the night-shrouded streets of Little Five Points. On occasion, she presents a more disturbing appearance, waking the streets covered with lacerations and soaked in blood. In her more grisly form, Effie has no eyes, but manages to see through bloody, empty sockets just the same.
