Origin: Greco-Roman |
A Fury is a Fae that has the ability to create insanity in others by staring into their eyes; the insanity grows in intensity until the victim dies. When she activates her power, her eyes glow red. A Fury requires eye contact in order to use her powers, but once a Fury has "inflicted" her victim with insanity there is no known way of stopping it. This applies also to themselves, as even the reflection of their own gaze can drive them mad.
Furies were supposed to punish Fae who disobey the rules of the Fae World.
Furies are always female and always the result of a multiple birth.
Mythology[]
In Greek mythology the Erinyes (Ἐρινύες, pl. of Ἐρινύς, Erinys; literally "the angry ones") or Eumenides (Εὐμενίδες, pl. of Εὐμενίς; literally "the gracious ones" but also translated as "Kind-hearted Ones" or "Kindly Ones"), or Furies or Dirae in Roman mythology, were female chthonic deities of vengeance, or supernatural personifications of the anger of the dead.
