Daemon, She (“She-who-must-be-obeyed”)
“You are not worthy to know her name. You are not worthy to gaze upon her. You are not worthy to even know the She is, and therefore, you shall be no more.” – Chant of the Guardians of She
The scholars say, She is a creatures of pride and cannot abide this incarceration. She seeks to be adored. To have throngs bow before them. She is, after all, perfection personified, and deserves no less. Somehow it will pass, the prophets say, that She will come to the Material Plane.
She will conquer, for the weak hearts of mortals will break to behold them. She, they say, will come with the moon, riding upon a pale horse and winning empires with honeyed words that hide poison. He, it is written, will arrive with the sun, leading an army of mortals to conquest, burning across the earth. And when the world is split between the two ‘the most perfect man and the most perfect woman’ they will turn on one another and the world will end. But what do scholars and prophets know? For now, She is found wandering the halls of her glorious palace, where none may behold her. She will not allow it.
She is five feet, ten inches. She speaks Common, Draconic, Auran, Elven, Abyssal and Infernal.

Combat
She disdains direct conflict, preferring instead to use her extensive magical arsenal to dominate and manipulate her foes, forcing them to kill one another. If pressed, she reveals herself to her foes, striking dead as many as possible. Of those left, she attacks using her envenomed dagger to extract payment from the living. Shes attacks are considered evil in addition to being magical for purposes of overcoming damage reduction.
Unearthly grace (Su): She’s beauty goes beyond the mere physical; it permeates every part of her being. She is so desirable, in fact, that the gods are even smitten with her, bestowing the blessing of unearthly grace upon her. This gift from on high lets She add her Charisma modifier as a bonus to all of her saving throws.
Killing Beauty (Su): Beneath the coverings of exquisite silk is the most beautiful female form ever. If she reveals her naked physique, all humanoids within 30 feet’ regardless of whether or not they are normally attracted to her gender’ must attempt a DC 28 Will save or die.
Those who succeed and are normally attracted to individuals of her gender must attempt a second DC 28 Will save, or become obsessed with her, suffering 1d6 points of permanent Wisdom drain, and 1 point of Wisdom drain each day until either the victim’s Wisdom falls to 0 or the victim is healed through a heal and a remove curse, or wish or miracle.
Even a success on the second save results in the character being confused as the spell for 1d6 rounds. Once the initial save, or both saves if the victim is attracted to females, the victims are immune to all future instances of killing beauty for 24 hours, though they are still haunted by the vision of She.
This ability is Charisma based.
Poison (Ex): She employs a special poison on her dagger attacks. As a free action, She secretes the venom onto the blade. On a successful attack, the target must attempt a DC 17 Fortitude save. A failed save indicates the victim experiences horrific agony as the venom attacks his or her reproductive organs, dealing 1d6 points of permanent Charisma and Constitution drain.
Regardless of whether or not the victim succeeded the first save, the victim must attempt another DC 17 Fortitude save 10 rounds later. If the victim fails this save, his or her reproductive organs are destroyed, dealing an additional 1d6 points of Charisma and Constitution drain and rendering the target unconscious for 1d4 hours. Organs destroyed in this manner can only be healed by a heightened regeneration (9th) or through a wish or miracle. The save DC is Constitution based.
