Traits
Contractual Boss Resistance: The Adversary is resistant to effects that would rob them of their free will, teleport them, read/detect their thoughts, or nullify this effect unless they allow it. If necessary to translate to mechanics, this counts as two Flaws dice.
Grievous Wounds: This creature inflicts Grievous Wounds with certain attacks. This is a unique condition; when it reaches three stacks, it resets and the target takes 2*Level true damage. Lasts until a short rest.
Actions
Bladework: Major action - Melee weapon attack, veilmetal greatblade, 10 ft. range, up to two targets, 6 damage, inflicts Grievous Wounds, has an additional effect based on the technique used.
Dervish: The attack targets the lower of AC or Reflex, and repeats for an auto-hit against all targets within 10 ft. of attacker at end of target’s next turn.
Black Kaze: The attack targets the lower of AC or Fortitude, and repeats for an auto-hit against all targets more than 10 ft. away from attacker at end of target’s next turn. Veil Depths Blessing: Major action - Psionic ability, the Amazon’s next attack has +1 damage mod and inflicts 1 stack of Grievous Wounds, has additional effect based on the blessing used.
Depths Precision: The Amazon has +3 hit bonus and can Aim freely once per round for 2 rounds.
Depths Clarity: The Amazon has +3 crit range and +1 damage mod on hit for 2 rounds.
Depths Shield: The Amazon has +3 AC/resistances and Aegis (1) for 2 rounds. Agonizer Suite: Special - When the Amazon Assails, they instead deals it as true damage to all targets within 60 feet. Royal Kaze: Special - When the Amazon Aims, they take advantage instead. When they Avert, they impose disadvantage instead. When they Distract, it automatically passes and grants +3 crit range. When they Discern, it automatically passes and they teleport the target 20 feet in a direction of choosing.
Tactics
Fairly straightforward, use switch up between Dervish and Black Kaze to keep the player on their toes. Veil Depths Blessing gives the player room to breathe and prepare for what comes next. Spamming Assail is an option, but combining Blessing with Royal Kaze’s minor action buffs can be devastating.

Description
The Queen is a carapacian herself, is she not? And carapacians are made by ectobiology. What might come forth if that genetic template is reused?
Nothing good, one can be sure.
