"Sacrifice"

Demona's Second's Mate

Demona's Second's Mate was an unnamed gargoyle in medieval Scotland.

History

Demona's second's mate was an unnamed gargoyle and was probably a member of the Wyvern Clan at one time. She and her mate would produce one of the "Eggs" in the 988 Wyvern rookery that would later hatch on Avalon. It is likely that she and her mate left Wyvern with a group of gargoyles sometime between 988 and 994 to found a new clan.

At some point after that, but before 1020, the new clan was destroyed. This gargoyle, however, managed to survive somehow and by 1020 had joined Demona's Clan.

At the Battle of Rathveramoen, she fought with the rest of her clan against Constantine. When Brother Valmont unleashed his rain of magical arrows, she shielded her mate with her own body, saving him at the cost of her own life.

Characteristics

Demona's second's mate is a small, web-winged gargoyle. Her wings are attached to her arms in a web-like structure, evocative of the wings of a flying squirrel. Like other web-winged gargoyles, her wings are pierced, which allows her to wear her clothes. Her skin is a soft red color, with black coloring on her wings, and she has short black hair.

Behind the Scenes

This character was referred to as "Sacrifice" in the scripts for the comics she appears in. Like "Othello," "Desdemona" and "Iago," it is a non-canon name which is never used in the actual comics. Calling her "Sacrifice" was probably just simpler than calling her "Demona's Second's Mate" when her name had to be typed repeatedly.
