Electra au Barca
SupportingAlso known as: Electra Agrippina au Barca
Electra au Barca is a pale nine-year-old girl with a narrow, hatchet-like face like that of a sleek hunting dog. Her dusky gold eyes gaze out from beneath heavy lids with an aloof and judging intensity that reveals a deep grimness and feral nature. Exceptionally thin and wiry in frame, taller than her peers but still childlike and uncoordinated before puberty, she often wears a dour expression broken only by the occasional slashing smile, her entire presence evoking the dangerous intensity inherited from her psychotic Gold parents as she grips a razor with focused menace.
Electra au Barca enters the Red Rising Saga in Iron Gold as a feral, razor-wielding nine-year-old whose grim intensity and hatchet-like face immediately mark her as the product of two psychotic Gold parents. By Dark Age she has matured into a fleet-footed combat prodigy who trains alongside Obsidian warriors, her lone crest of dirty-blond hair and predatory grace making her a miniature terror on the battlefield. Across the books, Electra evolves from an emotionally isolated child clinging to her father’s legacy into a confident, battle-hardened adolescent whose lethal skills and unblinking ferocity suggest she may one day eclipse even Sevro’s fearsome reputation.
Physical Description
Electra au Barca is a pale nine-year-old girl with a narrow, hatchet-like face like that of a sleek hunting dog. Her dusky gold eyes gaze out from beneath heavy lids with an aloof and judging intensity that reveals a deep grimness and feral nature. Exceptionally thin and wiry in frame, taller than her peers but still childlike and uncoordinated before puberty, she often wears a dour expression broken only by the occasional slashing smile, her entire presence evoking the dangerous intensity inherited from her psychotic Gold parents as she grips a razor with focused menace. A fierce young girl with fair skin and a prominent lone crest of dirty-blond hair that stands out among white-haired Obsidians. Her narrow eyes gleam with excitement at the prospect of evil and often narrow further in a wrinkled brow or glower, reflecting a hardened spirit that is still somewhat cute in its ferocity. Small and slight of build, she is easily fifty kilos lighter than the towering Obsidian warriors she trains against yet dismantles them with agile grace, always fleet of foot and moving like a restless alley cat fully at home in violent training or gore-soaked harvests.
Evolution
Iron Gold
Electra au Barca is a pale nine-year-old girl with a narrow, hatchet-like face like that of a sleek hunting dog. Her dusky gold eyes gaze out from beneath heavy lids with an aloof and judging intensity that reveals a deep grimness and feral nature.

Dark Age
A fierce young girl with fair skin and a prominent lone crest of dirty-blond hair that stands out among white-haired Obsidians. Her narrow eyes gleam with excitement at the prospect of evil and often narrow further in a wrinkled brow or glower, reflecting a hardened spirit that is still somewhat cute in its ferocity. Small and slight of build, she is easily fifty kilos lighter than the towering Obsidian warriors she trains against yet dismantles them with agile grace, always fleet of foot and moving like a restless alley cat fully at home in violent training or gore-soaked harvests.
- Now a fierce adolescent training with Obsidian warriors, she remains fifty kilos lighter yet dismantles them with agile grace.
- Her lone crest of dirty-blond hair and narrowed, excited eyes mark her growing comfort with violence and gore-soaked harvests.
