Shukra

History
Shukra was born ugly, with a gruesome smile and skin riddled with scats. Yet, he was a good king, what he could not perfect in my body he tried to perfect in my mind. However, for many years Shukra was ashamed to show himself to my subjects, so chose to rule from the shadows. Yet, when his bride first looked upon him, her smile never wavered. She held her palm to his cheek and said, “Our love is what will make us beautiful.” This was true as Shukra slowly began to become handsome. After four years he was as resplendent as his wife.

But Shukra wanted more, for his wife beauty went hand in hand with joy. He installed mirrors everywhere, even in the floors. He made checklists by which he might daily appraise my altering visage. He was continually discarding my clothes and trying new outfits. Shukra began to neglect his people, even his wife. He was furious that she was more beautiful then him. One day, he asked if she still loved him I asked, but she says he has changed. Before she could finish what she was saying, Shukra killed her. He doesn't remember how he did, but he couldn't get rid of the beauty he received from her. So he destroyed everything that gives off reflection but couldn't escape the truth he lost.

Appearance
Shukra was tall and dark-skinned, his hair a shock of silver. His eyes were like blue chips of ice. His jacket and pants were an unnaturally bright shade of white.

Five mirrors floated around him. One over his head, one below his feet, one on his right, and one on his left. Another floated at chest level, high enough that he would only need to tilt his chin down to see his reflection.
