Survival, in the end, is the only victory worth pursuing.

Surya is a hunter. She prioritizes her own survival above all else and guards her territory with great zeal. In many ways, she's a rather efficient Stygian - she preys on humans in their dreams and kills without hesitation. With how goal-oriented and self-centered she is, she can seem very cold and standoffish. However, she doesn't actively harbour malice towards other Stygians. She just doesn't care about people who are not in her immediate circle. 

Still, it's possible to cooperate with her, or hire her as a mercenary if her goals don't conflict with yours. If she agrees to do something, she will uphold her side of the contract at any cost... and expects the same from the other party. She deals with broken promises the same way as she deals with her prey - brutal execution.

She has a soft spot for younger Stygians, especially those that have potential to become good hunters. She would offer to protect them if they agree to train as her disciple. She can be quite demanding as a teacher but she believes that it's important for them to learn how to survive.
