Sarah aka Lady of Sorrows aka The Shining Mirror of He Who Is aka Mirror of Glory aka Gloriel aka Sarnark the Horrid Mirror
=======================================================================================
Gloriel
=======
She will not be statted except to say any ability she has should be regarded as 3@10 SAL, and 2@10 BRA unless the character list below is higher.
Her abilities at full-measure include juggling stars, flying the length of the galaxy in an hour, passage to Heaven or any other dimension of the Deep Eternity or Space/time that she wishes.
She has enough power to destroy a solar system in twenty minutes. The system will not be wholly destroyed at that time as it takes time for light from a supernova to fly out to the edge of a solar system and boil a planet to gas.
She is largely invulnerable to mortal weapons that are not at least Annihilative.
Her vocation is to reflect the Glory of the Father about Heaven. As such, she hovers in the third ring about Him when on duty.

Sarah is the temporarily incarnated form of Gloriel the Seraphim. She is wandering various Earths, trying to decide if she should Fall. She is bitter about not gaining more honor in the Courts of the Heavens.
At the same time, she is insatiably curious about every aspect of Humanity and the World. She has not been incarnated before, and so she has a naive directness. She should be played as a "Man From Mars" character.
She will hit upon hypocrisies, and inconsistencies and oddities of human experience. She will delight in her first taste of pie, and in dancing to the beat.
She will be tempted by the adulation she may receive for her good looks. She loves this. She does Veil herself on several levels, and hide behind illusion the full glory of her presence.
She could drop one veil, and show her full beauty. She could drop another, and show her Overawing Glory. She could drop the third Veil, and reassume her status as Gloriel the Seraphim.
At which point, unless she held it back, everyone in a tri-state area would be blinded, and everything within twenty miles would be evaporated. But this is the fourth Veil.
And she is capable of stepping sideways until she is mostly out of the purely material realm, and is thus invisible.

Lady of Sorrows is for when she's already made the evil choice. Sarah has incarnated permanently. Sarah has Fallen. And she has lost much of her power. She has torn off her wings,a nd can no longer cross the dimensional boundaries,a nd ascend to Heaven. Nor can she fly.
But, she is the most powerful being on the planet by a long shot.
And she's been here a long time, several thousand years.
Because after she failed to be turned, she went to another world, early in its Creation, and Fell.
She does drink blood because its one of the few ways to approach the rush of the Glories is to feel the lifeblood beneath her hands as the target dies. At one time, she felt the Glories like sun on her skin. Now, she couldn't stand their presence. But at the same time, she needs that feeling of attention and joy and love. Killing innocents is a poor substitute, but it'll do. Its like how some people need a feeling of power, they need power, and so they take cocaine to give them a feeling of power.
She continues to Fall.
Her greatness diminishes century by century.
At one time, she could have juggle dthe Sun in the palm of her hand. Now, she can't bear its light as it sits in judgment on her.
She has given of her self to make lesser beings called vampires. Loneliness eats away at her. But they offend her with thier greed,adn ambition,a nd she destroys them. This happens several times ove r the millenia--these Reigns of the Dead are known as bad times....the last one occurred during the Black Plague. But their seems to be evidence that she's trying it again....the Century of Slaughter filled with Nazi's and Communists and mountains of the dead seems to have been inspired by some of her creations.
In this world, there are those who worship the Christ, but there are also many who have small shrines to the Lady of Sorrows who is full of self-pity and unbending anger against Heaven. The Lady who cannot admit she made a mistake.
There is some speculation among a very few that she can be redeemed. After all, she has taken on a body, immortal though it be. Most think her a spirit entity,and not actually a breathing component of their life. Most of those who do realize that the ancient tales have large grains of truth in them think her inescapably evil, and in need of destruction. Others think she will only die at the Battle of Armageddon. Some think that a prophecy of a 'woman who holds a sword in her hand, and stands against the Great King for two strokes of his sword before falling to her doom.' (which is in an apocryphal text not accepted as canon) is referring to her. Others think that this refers to the evil, end-time church. Still others say 'apocrypha' and scoff which is a good position since their are other eminently false bits of prophecy in the Testimony of the Seven Witnesses. Some think that the Testimony was created by her as propaganda so that no one would attack her since she is 'invulnerable until Armageddon' or so goes the logic.
Sarnark the Horrid Mirror
=========================
Her final Fall takes her down to Hell. There she assumes the form of a monstrous female who still possesses some attractiveness, but also horror is in her looks, and pain is constant in her body.
She has become one of the Devilish Divas, and is bound to Darkness unless some magi is incautious enough to summon her back.
