(1543-1575) Born into immensewealth, Lady Ravanelli narrowly escaped the Rot Plague of 1553 with scarring to the bulb. Nevertheless, Ravanelli was considered to be the most enchanting woman in all of Raphania, and her appearance influenced beauty standards around the known world. Still, her scars haunted her, and she was known to have an obsession with wearing the finest silks and consuming as much water as she could in an attempt to hydrate and conceal her common, fading flesh. It was said that she once spent a full week in the baths. Unfortunately, this overexposure to hydration caused her bulb to hollow out and harden, and she fell out of favor in the courts. She died soon after among the common folk, and her collection of silks were eaten by moths and lost to time.
