Editing Campaign:Anarchy Group Omega/Smile (section)

=== Background ===
Loving Smile Exalted at the tender age of 25, as expected by the Loom, late in the First Age. She took quickly to her duties, ensuring pleasure and enjoyment to fates that need it (especially the souls of former Solar experiments), and advising her assigned Solar, Ingenious Brilliance in Manufacture, a Cauldronist, and his wife, Demure Coyote Howl. As the years passed, Smile and Coyote grew increasingly close as they grew to fear Brilliance's madness as he railed against his Deliberative. Eventually, the Sidereal and the Lunar made love, an experience Smile still remembers vividly to this day. This continued for exactly 384 years, until the final days before the Usurpation, when Coyote spurned her over Smile's attempts to convince her of the danger Brilliance, and the solars, posed. Smile could barely bring herself to show up to the feast on Calibration, and just looking at Coyote and Brilliance sitting together made her squirm in her seat; why couldn't they just get it over with, every minute they were here would be another minute etched into her psyche, seeing the woman she loved with a madman. She didn't even receive the kindness of killing Brilliance herself, as she was only so powerful, and got stuck with killing the small fries, the newly Exalted Solars or opposing Lunars. <br/><br/>

And then the most horrible thing happened: Coyote was killed. By a ''Dragon-Blooded'' of all things. A coward who could never bring himself to face her equally, to treat her as one would treat a goddess, just a punk kid from some lowly Gens who wouldn't even live to see the end of Calibration. Especially not once Smile took him aside, once the fighting had died down. He was so '''proud of himself''', so ''happy'' to have ended such a powerful, beautiful Exalt. He could barely wipe that sickening little '''''smile''''' off his face as she broke every major bone in his body and then ground herself onto him, in a parody of the way she would with her only love. He died howling in agony, a fitting end for a bastard like him, and all his kind.<br/><br/>

Following the Usurpation, Smile withdrew from most of her peers, too saddened by the sudden uproar of factionalism among her kin to even bother to socialize among them beyond the barest courtesy. She whiled the years by drinking alone in her apartment, reliving every second of the Usurpation and wishing there had been another way.
