CRYPTINA
Matriarch of the Macabre
Cryptina is the bridge between the living and the dead. Existing in the shadows between heartbeats, she opens the gates to the unknown, inviting the living to peek at their fate while keeping the dead from crossing over… usually.

KEEPER OF THE CRYPT
Cryptina is the Keeper of the CRYPT, an entity suspended eternally between the warm pulse of the living and the cold silence of the grave. As the bridge between two worlds, she exists in the fog where reality dissolves into nightmare, holding the keys to the locked doors of the afterlife. She does not just tell stories; she translates the whispers of the dead for the ears of the living, guiding lost souls through the darkness with a wink and a warning.
SHADOW
"Not all cats have nine lives. Some have eternity."
If Cryptina is the voice of the Crypt of Fear, Shadow is its eyes. Shadow is more than just a loyal companion—he is the Crypt’s eternal sentinel. Rarely leaving his mistress's side, he can often be found perched atop crumbling tombstones or weaving through the fog, guiding lost souls (and curious viewers) to their final destination.
The Legend of Shadow According to graveyard lore, Shadow was not born, but summoned. Legend says he appeared on the steps of the Crypt the very night Cryptina awakened, sitting patiently on her tombstone as if waiting for an old friend. He is the only creature who walks freely between the land of the living and the realm of the dead without fear.
It is said that Shadow possesses the "Sight." If you see him staring intently into the empty darkness, do not disturb him—he is likely watching a spirit that you are lucky enough not to see.
