–Metis
Metis is a Raposa created by GuyThatExists that appears in the short story Salem Rose Pt. 1 as a minor character. She also appears in The 35 in 4 out of 105 segments.
After working in Rapocity for some time, Metis met Pheme at Moondrop and the two of them became business partners. She would eventually learn about Virgil's work in Shadow City, attempting to get them a mayor recognized by the world, and she nominates Pheme to run. After being elected, Metis works as Pheme's Deputy until Pheme's assassination, where she becomes Mayor.
Appearance
Currently, Metis' appearance is unknown, but she likely has long ears and orange fur as she is a female Raposa.
Story
Before The 35
At one point in her life, Metis married and had a child named Athena. Eventually, Sigil invited Metis and Athena to join the Followers of Wilfre, an invitation they accepted. Some time later, Metis' spouse would pass, leaving her widowed.
The 35
2013
Metis is first seen in 2013, ordering a coffee and a muffin from Moondrop, where she meets Pheme. After receiving her coffee for free, Metis offers to help Pheme with her finances, and Pheme takes her upstairs to show Metis her vault of Rapo-Coins, Shadite, and Mannequite.
2017
Years later, Metis and Pheme would work at Moondrop together, and Metis served Brontes, who ordered her regular, so she gives it to him on the house. Shortly after, Virgil and his secretaries from Maradyn discuss their goal to open Shadow City to the outside world with Brontes, drawing the attention of everyone in the cafe. Virgil asks the crowd if they had any nominees for who could become the first official mayor of the City, and Metis nominates Pheme.
2019
After Pheme is elected to be mayor, Metis and Pheme celebrate with two Bosses, but an explosion blows the door off Pheme's vault. The two of them run upstairs to investigate, and when they head back downstairs, Metis finds a bullet hole in the wall, having gone through Pheme's Boss. Brontes, who had just appeared, is told to lock the doors by Pheme, who leads the two of them back upstairs, announcing that she was going to be assassinated.
2022
During her tenure as Deputy Mayor, Metis waits with Pheme and Brontes for confirmation that Shadow City would be renamed to Rust City. When they get the email, Metis and Brontes plan to officially get married in Rust City, but as they raise glasses to toast the new name, three shots ring out, one shatters her wine glass and she drops to the ground.
Metis calls out to Brontes and Pheme, but gets no response. After crawling around to where they were standing, she sees their bodies and shrieks, drawing some customers upstairs. She tells them to go to Rapoville and get Dr. Cure, and she attends to Brontes' body, assuming that Pheme would recover due to her rust fur. When Dr. Cure arrives, she begins giving her assistants orders, but as Metis realizes they were both dead, she calls them off and demands to have a Royal Guard assembled to take down the Shadowdwellers.
2026
Years later, Metis meets with Samuel inside the Moondrop, inviting him up to talk about Eos. Comparing their notes on Eos, they discover that Eos was working for the Shadowdwellers, and Samuel admits that he was meeting with Mayor's ghost frequently, implying that the Shadowdwellers ranks were made of ghosts and that they were likely operating on The Wasteland. However, before they can act on this hunch, they see a broadcast about the Lavasteam bombing, which claims that Ruby was responsible. Metis and Samuel note her Shadite armor and believe that Ruby's true identity was Eos, and the two of them head to Lavasteam to help with the relief effort.
Salem Rose Pt. 1
Metis is seen years later during the 10th annual Creator's Alliance meeting, chastising Mari for harboring Wilfre, and making fun of the Monkey King for not understanding the situation. She asks Mari about Aldark's location, prompting Mari to say that she doesn't know where he is. Eventually, after Miles and Russet remove Watersong and Lavasteam from the alliance, Metis follows suit with Shadow City, pulling them out of the alliance.
