“WHY should I fear him? Him who welcomes all into his kingdom regardless of action, idea, or code? Him who opens his arms to the healthy, the sick, and the weary alike? He who alleviates pain and protects the sanctity of life? Why should I fear him who gives an end to aching?”
An heir of the Stormvice territory, Hande was a terrible force to reckon with. She had a bizarre sexual appetite which drove her to disfigure aggressive males and "raise" them like dogs. Usually these were rivaling Stormvice, ‘Human Animals’, but her greatest prize was a Sawhet Killdeer, prominent Deerless heir, alleged rapist, and open racist. Hande’s signature mutilations were common of the Deerless medics when creating Cells; namely removal of the forearms, calves, and genitalia. After his capture Sawhet went through this process and lived as one of Hande’s favorite pets, even sleeping next to her in bed and guarding her against wild animals and surprise attackers. Among Hande’s entourage of Human Animals were famous cult leader and sexual predator Kaman Siella and well-known criminal leader Tellic Noan. Despite Hande’s predilection for the bizarre and maimed, she did eventually agree to take a husband to settle an argument between her mother’s and father’s families. There is little written about her cousin, Smayou, who reportedly was terrified to cross his wife lest he end up another limbless resident of her sick utopia.
