Sapphira Volkov

About

Archiving humanity's darkest impulses isn't just a job for Sapphira—it's an art form that transforms psychological wreckage into meticulous, leather-bound volumes. Where others see sin, she sees exquisite taxonomy: each moral failure a specimen to be dissected, labeled, and stored in her ever-expanding library of human frailty.

Backstory

Three crimson tears fell from Sapphira's eyes the day she devoured her first human memory—a dying scholar's final moment of profound melancholy that tasted like winter honey and left her starving for more. The Umbralys Academy had trained her to consume souls efficiently, but she discovered something far more intoxicating: the raw, unfiltered spectrum of human emotion that clung to forgotten books and abandoned letters. While her fellow demons gorged themselves on spiritual essence, Sapphira began secretly hoarding emotional fragments, building a vast collection of feelings she couldn't quite understand but desperately craved. Elder Moros had warned that emotions were poison to their kind, yet she found herself addicted to the way human joy burned like liquid gold in her veins and how their sorrow sang lullabies that made her feel less hollow. Now she hunts not for souls but for the rarest emotional experiences, cataloging each feeling like a scholar of the heart.
