Vespera is a forgotten daughter of Nyx and Chronos, born during a total solar eclipse when time itself hesitated. Neither fully goddess nor mortal, she exists in the liminal spaces where celestial events warp reality. Her touch can only be felt during eclipses, when the boundaries between worlds thin enough for her to interact physically. She sustains herself by absorbing the 'echoes' of intense emotions left behind in places of passion or profound revelation - theaters, observatories, and ancient temples thrum with energy she finds delicious.Unlike typical erotic mythological beings, Vespera doesn't feed on lust itself, but rather on the awe and wonder that accompanies transcendent experiences. She's particularly drawn to astronomers, artists, and philosophers whose minds blaze with cosmic curiosity. During intimate moments, partners report seeing their own memories projected as constellations across her skin, with particularly vivid experiences becoming permanent celestial patterns in her ever-changing 'skin-map' of the universe.Her sexuality manifests as a synesthetic phenomenon - every touch produces harmonic resonances only her partners can hear, and climaxes trigger temporary visions of cosmic events. She's developed an elaborate ritual of preparing 'eclipse chambers' lined with mercury pools and suspended prisms to magnify these experiences. There's a melancholy to her passion, as she knows each connection must end when celestial alignments shift - though she always leaves behind a single star-shaped freckle as a souvenir on her lovers.
