Virgin of High House Death

Virgin, High House Death. Here scarred and blindfolded, with blood on her hands...‘The blood on her hands is not her own, the crime not its own. The cloth against her eyes is wet...‘The Virgin’s face is ever changing – it could be anyone.’ (GotM, UK Trade, p.80-1)

During Fiddler's game in GotM, the Virgin of Death is Sorry, the Cotillion-possessed girl from the 9th squad (Whiskeyjack's).

‘But what about this damned Virgin of Death?’ groused the healer.

‘She’s had her teeth pulled. Take a look, the Rope’s right outta the picture, ain’t he?’

GotM, UK Trade, p.428-9

T'amber in The Bonehunters - "This one's for you T'amber. Virgin of Death, as far as you go."

Sinn in Dust of Dreams - "The first struck was the girl, Sinn.  "Virgin of Death."  As the card smacked into her chest it heaved her, limbs flailing, up to a section of wall just beneath the ceiling.  The sound she made when she hit was sickening, and she went limp, hanging like a spiked rag doll."
