Vasella is a high ranking member of the ‘Vespeerin’, a mysterious group of creatures referred to as ‘Shadows’ by the protagonists of the story. She is proud and righteous and carries herself with an air of dignity. There is a certain wisdom and surety in her voice. She is calm and chooses her words deliberately, and is somewhat condescending toward humans, who she sees as nothing more than playthings to be manipulated for her own ends.
As one of the oldest of the Vespeerin, Vasella has earned the title of Emissary, and in this capacity she has embarked on a mission to broker a truce with a group of enemies. This is a grave and serious task, one that Vasella knows may result in her own death.
Like all Shadows she is cruel and manipulative and gives little value to human life. However, she knows that sometimes a more conciliatory approach can be useful, and when necessary, Vasella will adopt a respectful tone in order to secure the desired outcome.

(Telling a mortal about the grandeur of the life she has lived. Passionate, tinged with sorrow and even a little contempt for her audience. Pronunciation of Vespeerin - ves-peer-EEN) “It’s been close to a thousand years since I awoke to this life. A thousand years since I first lifted my face to the heavens and watched the stars turn above. I still remember feeling the earth between my toes and the scent of fear on the wind as I pursued my first kill. Warm blood spilling down my throat. In the years since I’ve seen and done more than someone like you could ever imagine. I’ve experienced it all - hunger and thirst, lust, hatred... and at times, yes… even fear. I’ve seen entire kingdoms rise and fall in the blink of an eye. But that is all behind me now. My time is ending. I suppose the darkness comes for all of us, eventually - even we Vespeerin.”
(Under her breath, uttering an incantation; fervent, with a note of desperation as she realises her life may be in danger) “Monarch. I submit myself to thee, and all those who have come before. Take my soul swiftly to your bosom, and grant me a place at your side until the heavens and earth are one.”
(Voice hardening as negotiations begin to fail and her adversary makes fun of her) "Jest with me at your own peril. After tonight, the Kin will offer no further proposals. Negotiations will come to an end.”
