Mahrata Quote: “Hmmm, I saw a need for strong leadership to pull those around me out of the pitfalls of ruin and inertia.”
Address: Mystic Steeples, Severance, Hoopenfangia. Mystic Steeples is an enormous castle that surrounds Mystic City, forming a seemingly impenetrable barrier, locking the city into another dimension far removed from the rest of Hoopenfangia. Urbanne and his wife, Mahrata, reside in a majestic palace overlooking Mystic Square on the tenth floor inside Mystic Steeples.
Date & Place of Birth: With the assistance of a blind midwife, Mahrata was born in her parents’ estate and has a wealthy and powerful bloodline.
Height/Weight/Physical Description: She is 5'7'' and slightly overweight with thin eyebrows over bewitching, unnerving eyes, thin lips, an average nose, and a medium complexion. When not wearing her headpiece, she piles her dark hair high over her round and slightly wrinkled face. With fading looks and in need of glasses, she wears chocolate-brow lipstick and heavy eye powder in earth tones.
Her movements are economical and leisurely, and she teeters a little.
Mahrata’s Sanguinati Crown: When Mahrata addresses the convocation, she often wears her Sanguinati crown that consists of two tail-entwined dragons under her chin with their wings extending up each side of her face into her crown, topped by two tongue-entwined leviathans. The winged dragon is a symbol of the duality of the philosopher’s stone.
When the dragons entwine their tails and the leviathans, their tongues, they attain solidity between the dualistic energies of one’s inner being.
Citizenship/Ethnic Origin: Hoopenfangia / Caucasian / English Ancestry.
Political Beliefs/Affiliations: Traditional Sanguinati.
Hobbies/Recreations: Prying into private affairs. Mahrata Quotes: “Hmmm, life holds no room for humor after Ambergis died and Banzalta became a Wiggiwami. I need to prepare a strong heir to the throne.” Mystic Needles: Also known as needle torture. Those aren’t just hairpins in Mahrata’s hair.
Mahrata Quote: “My magic defenses include Mystic Steeples and my loyal subordinates. Parents' Names & Occupations: Mahrata’s father was Candombram Candlewicke. “I should’ve been there for Ambergis when she became pregnant by Piron DaDovie.”
Spouse or Lover: Urbanne LaRock.
Mahrata Quotes: “I was disposed to trust the LaRocks, and I admire Urbanne’s manly leadership. We have much in common with the direction we want to lead the Sanguinati. Urbanne can’t handle my moods at times.”
“We’ve been married an eternity, it seems, but I keep getting a vision of Urbanne leaving me.” Magic Specialties:
Mahrata Quotes: “My parents worked hard to provide us a home and place in the Sanguinati. I respect them more now than ever.” “I, haaa, had to grow up faster than most young female witches. I had to take care of my ailing parents, hmmm, so I became a no-nonsense woman.”

“We’ve been married an eternity, it seems, but I keep getting a vision of Urbanne leaving me.” Magic Specialties:
- Materialization: Magister-level spell. Mahrata likes to “pop in” while others are whispering.
- Magiscope: Enchanted binoculars. Once, when caught aiming the magiscope out of her bedroom window around midnight, Mahrata claimed she was bird watching.

There are, haaa, so many sneaky snakes.” “I despise it when the Sanguinati come to me for things — handouts — favors.” Job-Related Skills: Instructing, teaching, managing business affairs, and delegating the duties of Mystic Ministry: including the vespercestors, theurgists, stargazers, mesmerists, soothsayers, snake handlers, etc. Tastes:
Voice: Making presuppositions, Mahrata speaks in a slow, cautious manner and with a disappointed tone. She sighs in a bored manner: “Hmm…haaa….” She often clears her throat and makes moist, sticky sounds when talking. She likes to put her will in others’ mouths.
