<blockquote>''"The Vandal has been operating for years. "Shopfront defaced with glim and graffiti," declares one headline. "Newlyweds beset by dizziness upon discovery of Art in their garden," trumpets another."''<ref name="our lady" />


''Amidst the outrage, there is only unlikely speculation. The Vandal is a disguised nun, an aristocrat, or an opera singer! She can crawl like a spider and sing like a whale!  There is nothing of substance, not even a mention of the scorched symbols.''<ref name="our lady" /></blockquote>The Moth-cloaked Vandal is an elusive street artist that's been spreading her mystifying seemingly arcane street-art along [[Fallen London]]'s streets and in people's backyards. Hunted by [[The Constables|the Ministry of Public Decency]] as well as a Secret Society devoted to catching her, she moves through London's streets in pursuit of her art. She's been at it for seemingly quite a long time but it would seem her work is coming to a (no-doubt magnificent) conclusion soon.

<blockquote>''"Because of my heritage, I am as much a blasphemy as these moths,"''<ref name="our lady" /></blockquote>The Moth-cloaked Vandal is a young half-[[Snuffer]] girl. Orphaned and entrusted to the care of [[God's Editors]], she eventually learned of her forbidden parentage; this drove her to join [[Revolutionaries|anarchist]] and [[Liberationist]] circles to understand herself and her abilities. Her study of the [[The Correspondence|Correspondence]] and the [[The Great Chain of Being|Great Chain of Being]] led to an about-face in her beliefs, as she began to worship the [[Judgements]], spurring her artistic acts of penance across London for what she perceives as the city's sins against the Great Chain. Her ability to change her facial features at will has allowed her to escape capture - but with the Ministry, her former anarchist allies, and the mysterious Society in Pursuit of Moths searching for her, her time in London is quickly running out.

The Moth-cloaked Vandal is actually a young [[Snuffers|half-snuffer]] girl. Orphaned and entrusted to the God's Editors care, she eventually learned about her forbidden herritage and it drove her to join the [[Revolutionaries|anarchists]] and supporters of [[The Liberation of Night]] to understand herself and her abilities. Her study of the [[The Correspondence|Corespondence]] and the [[The Great Chain of Being|Great Chain of Being]] led to her start worshiping the [[Judgements]] and to begin her artistic acts of pennance across London for what she percieves as Falen London's sins against the Great Chain. So far the ability to change her face at a whim has allowed her to escape capture but it seems that the Ministry of Public Decency, the anarchists as well as the mysterious Society in Pursuit of Moths are looking for her and her time in Fallen London is quickly runing out.
