Written by Chris Wichtendahl. Art by Jeff Zugale. Rachel Danara is a former stage actress, who moved to Pagan City in the early 90's to pursue a career in the theater. A few years later, at the height of her fame, Rachel was attacked by vampires and her long-dormant powers were violently awakened. Rachel later discovered she was the incarnation of an ancient mystic empress, who ruled the Benevolent Empire millennia ago. She possesses near limitless strength and speed and is nigh-invulnerable to injury and disease. She alone among the magic-users can tap the source of all magic directly, and can channel that source through herself as a devastating beam of pure energy. Vast though er powers are, Rachel still has yet to use them to her fullest potential. She is brash, impulsive, and prone to sarcasm, though her heart is noble and full of valor. 24 pgs, B&W illustrations. Cover price $2.95.
