velvet priestess of partings

Shannon von death

THE VOICE BEHIND THE VIEL

not everyone hears her but

you did

She appears when the room goes quiet. When the words dry up. When something sacred is ending.

Shannon Von Death is the velvet priestess of partings - half woman, half shadow, here to help you face what most refuse to name. She doesn’t chase death. She prepares the path. Candles lit. Roses placed. Rituals ready.

By her side you’ll often find Belladonna, a black cat with a rose collar and a gaze that sees what’s unspoken. Belladonna is her familiar, her poetic shadow, her ritual keeper. When Shannon speaks, Belladonna listens. And sometimes, purrs.

Together, they walk with you toward a beautiful goodbye. Shannon was born not to mourn the end, but to beautify it. Born to help you craft the farewell you’ll be proud of. To make space for laughter in the grief, clarity in the chaos, and truth in the final lines.

Whether she’s guiding you through your Final Portrait, scripting your last letter, or helping you release what you never got to say...Shannon walks ahead of you, flame in hand, so you never have to meet death in the dark.

3.What’s the difference between Shannon and the Familiars?

Shannon is the guide, the voice, the velvet-draped mirror. The Familiars—ROSE-e, Belladonna, and Thorne—are her companions. They each hold a different kind of space: memory, mischief, or mourning. You can meet them all after you step inside.

4. Why does death deserve beauty?

Because it’s the only thing guaranteed.Because it takes everything. Because it is sacred, terrifying, and often silent—and beauty is how we soften that silence. Beauty doesn’t erase the grief. It gives it a shape. A scent. A final note to the song. Death deserves beauty because you do. Because your story doesn’t end when you stop breathing—It echoes in the hearts of those left behind. Let that echo be beautiful.
