Help me, O Clouds. O Clouds, stay by me. Let no harm come to me. Let me remain healthy and invincible.
Send, O send, you powerful Clouds, ninety cats. I command you, O King of the Cats, I pray you. May you gather them together, even if you are in the mountains, or on the waters, or on the roofs, or on the other side of the ocean.
May these ninety cats appear to tear and destroy the hearts of kings and princes, And in the same way the hearts of teachers and judges, so they shall harm me not.
Holy Trinity, protect me.
~~~The Prayer of Erszébet, adapted from the McNally translation by Dennis Báthory-Kitsz. Zitekné Báthory Zsuzsanna Anasztázia is twenty-three years old. She attended Durmstrang Institute, a school which has been the recipient of the Báthory family's largesse for centuries, but has recently been taken over by the forces of Grindelwald. Her parents are dead and her older sister Dorottya (Vollmanné Báthory Dorottya) was married by force to one of Grindelwald's most trusted men, whom she now claims to love. Zsuzsanna managed to escape with her life, and has been living in Londinium for the past few years. She claims to be married to a pair of brothers, Stepán and Vilém Zitek, whom she has known since she was quite young; they recently appeared in Londinium and promptly took up residence in her household. This is a character journal for the lightning_war RPG. Zsuzsanna is not a real person. Icons are of Romola Garai and have been credited to their makers on the allpics.bml page.

For information about the historical Báthory family, please take a look here. Kindly be aware that since lightning_war is a work of fantasy, in which we have assumed that Báthory Erszébet was a powerful witch, and that we have therefore taken liberties with this information.
