The Brewer of Hues, the master of Poppets; she is the Witch Verminia. Seemingly rendered colourblind by death, Verminia relies on the auras of the afterlife to sniff her way around. Assuredly, this hinders not her impeccable taste in fashion.

Lore

"‘Neath fold of night and cloak of rats, the witch brews hues in cauldron vats." - Sigil, during Brewer of Hues

Verminia was once a witch of The Coven, and was known by many names: The Witch Verminia, Verminia of the Coven, Master of Poppets, or - of course - the Brewer of Hues.

Like most other members of her coven, Verminia was hunted down and killed for reasons unknown - in Verminia's case, she was drowned, leaving her able to taste naught but the bitter salt of the ice-cold water filling her lungs in her grey, dismal afterlife.

Yet the Envoy might help her to taste colour yet. In life, Verminia experienced synesthesia - manifesting in her as an ability to 'taste' colours. By brewing new Palettes, the Envoy may aid Verminia in experiencing the joy of the rainbow once more.

Poppets

A significant aspect of Verminia's character is her love for rats - or, as she calls them, her Poppets. Dozens of Poppets adorn her body like a fur cloak, and two stand atop her head like hair extensions. Several Poppets can also be seen resting around Verminia's station in the Nightfold.

The Envoy meets their first Poppet during Brewer of Hues, where they must free it from a cage in a small ruin near Sidae's Stake, and follow it to first meet Verminia in the ravine.

The Poppets are said by Verminia to possess some level of prophetic foresight.^[1] It is also implied that the poppets carved the

Sap Tap

with their teeth, due to its jagged edges.^[2]

Trivia

Verminia is voiced by French actress Kim Bonifay.^[3]

Verminia's design is inspired by French culture; both using French words in her dialogue, and with her soundtrack featuring a motif reminiscent of traditional French music, which utilises French instrumentation.^[4]

The term 'Poppet' is inspired by the real-life Poppet; a doll made in the image of a person for the purpose of casting magic upon them, much like a voodoo doll.

↑ "Oh, Envoy! 'Fore you go, my Poppets have wish to tell... how you say... something unsavoury. They squeak of red moaning in the Choral Glen. Of saccharine odours that waft from his den. His bell tolls. Its echoes taste faintly of black. Of torn barks, of claw marks, Of drip, drip, drip. SAP!" - Verminia, during Brewer of Hues
