History
Museum Heist
Shortly before her death, Fauna Faust planned to steal the enchanted artefacts of John Domingo from St. Cyprian's museum of the macabre. Using her magic to teleport into the museum, Fauna began lifting up the artefacts and transporting them through a rift she had opened. Towards the end of the operation she was caught by the security guards who attempted to apprehend her, however she was able to escape through her rift with her prize. Upon reaching her hideout on the other side Fauna began transporting her goods into her abode. Before she could celebrate her success however she was intercepted by a Shadow Rider, a spectral arcane hunter, who beheaded her with a scythe.[1]
Personality
During her life time Fauna displayed herself to be very self confident, believing she was greater in the mystic arts then any of her ancestors. She also seemed to enjoy the attention that came with being a super-criminal, however she never attempted to seek it out.[1]
