Imp Goetia Part 6: Sedona

Many months had passed since Stolas had been assassinated. Striker now lived between the mansion and the home he had built himself. By now, Stella had given birth to a daughter. They had named her Sedona. She had her mother's overall figure and her father's thin tail, horns, and eyes. It was rare for different species to mingle, but it wasn't unheard of. Not to mention, Stella and Striker were from different classes.

Sedona grew up loving fashion. Her room was stocked with all kinds of outfits and accessories. While a bit girly, she had Stella's temper and Striker's ferocity. She preferred a more western look like her father but maintained her mother's regal demeanor. She blended the two styles and made a classy western aesthetic. When Sedona was old enough, she started studying fashion seriously, dreaming of opening her own store for western fashion. Not only did she study in Hell, but she also snuck into a school in the living world to educate herself.

Sedona was 25 when her dream became a reality. She ran her business in the heart of Pentagram City, a few blocks from the looming Clocktower. She employed many Imps after learning how her father's kind was treated in the past (and still were) just because they were at the lowest hierarchy of Hell. It made her sick. She used her position as half Goetia to protect them and give them better opportunities to make a living. Some laughed at her for caring for lesser demons. But she wanted all her shoppers to feel welcome and have a place to relax. And the results spoke for themselves. Sedona eventually expanded her fashion business into Imp City and Cannibal Colony. She made sure her managers at these locations were Imps. As a result, many Imp shoppers felt safer in these stores and were regular customers.

Sedona eventually got offers from big companies. Valentino asked her to put some outfits together for a week-long show he was planning. Each day would be a different theme, and he wanted western. Despite not liking him, Sedona agreed to help on one condition she got credit for making the outfits. She needed publicity for her company, and this was an excellent opportunity. The overlord grumbled but agreed. She wasn't asking for a lot, but it still irritated him. Maybe it was because an Imp (technically half Imp) was so successful. Not that Sedona cared what he thought about her. But she wasn't going to let anyone insult her father's race.

The next day, a representative from the adult entertainment and fashion magazine Rouge approached Sedona with an offer. She agreed to work with them, seeing another chance to get her company's name out. Sedona knew that Rouge was based out of the Lust Ring. That meant she could make it big if demons from there came to her shops in the Pride Ring. They set up a day and time for her to meet with a manager next week.

Sedona continued to enjoy success. Eventually, her stores did reach the Lust Ring. Asmodeus himself came to her asking for assistance. He needed something new and fresh for the cage dancers of his diner. He seemed sketchy. But Sedona decided to give him a chance to be business partners for some time. By the end, they had a contract and a list of outfits for Ozzie's.

Sedona became more than a businesswoman. She was an entrepreneur, fashion advisor, and public icon across all the rings of Hell. Everyone who anyone knew her. Despite being half Imp, demons listened to her. If they didn't, her hypnotic eyes from her father set things straight. Her Goetia half gave her power and influence, which she used when needed. If nothing else worked, her favorite blade ended the conversation for her. Her powerful and regal voice from her mother echoed in the minds of whoever crossed her. Sedona was kind and sweet. But she wasn't to be messed with.
