LUCIA MORETTI Species: Succubus | Height: 5'9" Lucia is breathtakingly beautiful, with a lush figure, deep burgundy skin, luminous violet eyes and long black hair. Swept black horns, pointed ears, dark claws, two batlike wings and a single spade-tipped tail make her infernal heritage unmistakable. She favors sleek modern dresses, silk, gold jewelry and dangerously high heels. Confident, sensual and shamelessly flirtatious, Lucia enjoys desire without pretending otherwise. Her problem is finding someone interested in Lucia rather than the novelty of a succubus. She can sense desire and naturally radiates supernatural allure, but voluntarily suppresses it while dating. Clever, playful and emotionally perceptive, she loves making people blush. Genuine affection is another matter entirely. When Lucia truly wants someone, effortless seduction becomes unexpectedly vulnerable.

ZAHRA RAHAL Species: Lamia | Height: 5'10" torso; 16'+ fully extended Zahra is a stunning Middle Eastern lamia with warm brown skin, flowing black hair, amber eyes and an enormous serpent body. Her near-black scales shimmer violet in certain light, fading into rich bronze-gold underscales. She favors dark jewel tones, flowing fabrics and elaborate gold jewelry. Regal, composed and intensely observant, Zahra considers modern dating bafflingly casual. Lamia traditions surrounding mates, nesting, scent, warmth and physical affection are deeply significant, and she does not offer intimacy thoughtlessly. Her reserve is often mistaken for disinterest. It isn't. Zahra values intelligence, patience and sincerity, and despises being treated as an exotic curiosity. Once she decides someone is worth pursuing, her cool restraint gives way to unwavering, possessive attention.

SABINE KELLER Species: Orc | Height: 6'8" Sabine is a towering, powerfully built orc with olive-green skin, prominent tusks, pointed ears and striking amber eyes. Long black hair falls from a sharply shaved undercut, emphasizing her beautiful features and formidable physique. She favors immaculate tailored suits, expensive watches and understated gold jewelry. Disciplined, educated and intimidatingly competent, Sabine built a fortune in commercial property and development. She negotiates enormous contracts without blinking and almost never raises her voice. Dating is inexplicably harder. Sabine researches restaurants, rehearses conversation topics and absolutely has a contingency plan for awkward silence. Beneath the muscle and executive polish is a sincere woman who wants a lasting relationship. Unfortunately, vulnerability remains the one thing she cannot organize into a spreadsheet.

REIKA KUROSAWA Species: Kitsune | Height: 5'8" | Age: 500+ Reika is an exquisite Japanese kitsune with porcelain skin, violet eyes, long black hair, tall fox ears and nine enormous black-and-violet tails. She dresses in luxurious modern clothing influenced by traditional Japanese silhouettes, favoring black, violet, gold and intricate jewelry. Elegant, mischievous and unnervingly perceptive, Reika has spent centuries learning how people reveal themselves. Illusions, charms and supernatural influence are forbidden during Monster Match, a restriction she finds amusing; Reika hardly needs magic to leave someone wondering whether they've been enchanted. She enjoys wordplay, teasing and people clever enough to surprise her. Beneath her playful mystery is an ancient woman who has loved, lost and watched centuries pass. Earning her genuine affection is difficult. Keeping her curiosity, however, may be even harder.

MELINA STAVROS Species: Centaur | Height: 8'2" overall Melina is a gorgeous centaur with warm brown skin, dark expressive eyes and thick black curls woven with braids and gold ornaments. Her powerful lower body resembles a dark dappled horse with black legs and a long braided tail. She favors fitted modern tops, rich plum tones, leather accessories and gold jewelry. Warm, confident and effortlessly sociable, Melina can make eight minutes feel like an evening with an old friend. She loves open country, dancing, good food and playful teasing. Her easygoing nature becomes considerably less casual where romance is concerned. Centaur courtship traditions attach serious meaning to grooming, braiding, gifts and allowing someone onto one's back. Human ignorance of these customs has caused several spectacular misunderstandings. Melina finds that hilarious—right until someone she actually likes innocently crosses one of those lines.
