| Name: Araxie Atramentum
Representative of: Codex Gigas
Gender: Female
Age: Human Age: 18 years old Place Age: 788 years old
Brief personality: Araxie is an odd yet creative girl who has the tendency to act pretty creepy, be it describing things in gory details to drawing stuff that would make a grown man turn his head in fear. She enjoys playing pranks as well as hang around the few friends she has in hell, though there are times she likes to be alone in her own little world. There are times she is actually quite timid but that is usually when she meets people she has never met before so it is pretty rare to see her like this. She is said to be pretty manipulative when it comes to getting things she wants but she at times will do it without even realizing it. She isn't really one to back down from a fight unless it's against someone she knows she cannot beat.
Brief physical description: Araxie is the average height of 5'7"; her hair colored a purple color that is styled so that one side is shorter than the other, and her eyes are a golden color whilst the scleras are a gray color. Her skin is pale and smooth almost like a porceline doll, though her legs from the knee down fade to a pitch black color much like her left arm that looks more skeletal. On her righ arm is a pentagram like tattoo as well that will sometimes drip ink. Araxie's attire consists of a gray tank top that covers a dull pink sports bra along with red short shorts, She is also seen wearing unique purple knee highs and a black collar. She has sharp teeth and a pitch black tongue, along with a black crown that floats over her head.

Brief history: According to legend, the Codex was created by Herman the Recluse in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice near Chrudim in the Czech Republic. The monastery was destroyed sometime in the 15th century during the Hussite Revolution. Records in the codex end in the year 1229. The codex was later pledged to the Cistercians Sedlec Monastery and then bought by the Benedictine monastery in Břevnov. From 1477 to 1593, it was kept in the library of a monastery in Broumov until it was taken to Prague in 1594 to form a part of the collections of the Emperor Rudolf II.
At the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648, the entire collection was taken as war booty by the Swedish army. From 1649 to 2007, the manuscript was kept in the Swedish Royal Library in Stockholm. The site of its creation is marked by a maquette in the town museum of Chrast.
On Friday, 7 May 1697, a fierce fire broke out at the royal castle in Stockholm, and the Royal Library suffered very badly. The codex was rescued from the flames by being thrown out of a window. This damaged the binding and knocked loose some pages which are still missing today. According to the vicar Johann Erichsons, the codex landed on and injured a bystander. In September 2007, after 359 years, the Codex Gigas returned to Prague on loan from Sweden until January 2008, and was on display at the Czech National Library.
A National Geographic documentary included interviews with manuscript experts who argued that certain evidence (handwriting analysis and a credit to Hermann Inclusus – "Herman the Recluse") indicates the manuscript was indeed the work of just one scribe.
