An attractive young lady, who moves with grace and a sparkle in her eyes

Sepsinia is interested in the wider world since her counter with the undead. She is currently quite taken with Kavian who has courted her. She is now much more opinionated in regards to her mother.

Sepsinia's mother tried to link her with the suitor, Opilio, a talented, confident student at the Moost conservatory. While he loved her deeply, Sepsinia couldn’t stand the arrogant, spoiledyoung man. His love turned to loathing at the rejection, even as their parents kept pushing them together, and after several weeks, he attacked Sepsinia in the garden. Certain his reputation and future would be tarnished when Sepsinia reported the attack, Opilio took his own life, and the younger Crabbe never quite figured out how to reveal the boy’s crimes to his mourning parents. Opilio’s secrets weren’t the only thing to haunt Sepsinia. His seething, quiet hatred at his rejection tied his spirit to the living world, and his heart eventually animated as a rare, spiderlike undead known as a lovelorn. Opilio returned to the garden where he attacked Sepsinia and slowly transformed the Crabbes’ hedge maze into a gloomy labyrinth to hide within.

This is how things stood until the characters rescued her by killing the lovelorn and using a potion of love to heal her. While Kavian had at first tried to court her to gain favor with Dame Crabbe, the Tribune has continued the courtship. They began formally courting and there was expectation it would lead to a betrothal. Sepsimia is now running Stachys (with her mother's advice) in Kavian's absence. With Elsa Leaving the group and relinquishing her Tribuneship, Kavian will need the young noble's help.

Now newly married to Kavian, Sepsimia is running the household as is proper head, even when Kavian is present. The Lady Silanius continues her own training with her sword at the school her husband founded, now learning through mentoring others as a teacher.
