Character Spotlight: Chateau (Patreon)

    There are countless vessels specialized in housecleaning and janitorial services, but Chateau and her sisters lean more towards the fictionalized ideal of a maid. Though her fantastical armor and massive bardiche may seem at home in the Frontier, they're merely components of her costume. Having more in common with a maid cafe employee than their Victorian counterpart, she tirelessly every day to put a smile on her customers' faces. In addition to her other duties, she has a particular affinity for sweets and is a skilled patissiere. 

    Vessels, along with all other seed-based lifeforms, have the mysterious ability to metabolize and absorb the bodies of others of their kind almost perfectly. In practice, this means that digesting other seed-based lifeforms will result in little change to their mass relative to their meal's size. Eating any other form of food, however, will cause them to gain weight normally, and they must then also work it off in the normal way. Chateau's strange quirk does not actually affect her metabolism, only her ability to absorb other seed-based lifeforms, resulting in her body gaining a much more "reasonable" amount of weight for each prey digested.
