Personality	She may be outclassed in magical aptitude by her older sister, but Tenebrae knows a little magic of her own, and she's more than a little ominous to boot. Tenebrae's magic doesn't come from a pact with something otherworldly. What she's capable of is hers alone, sparked by ambition and fed by fervent dedication to her studies. She doesn't resent Suspiria for collaborating with the caliginous, but she's always felt firmly and frustratingly in her sister's shadow. Tenebrae is determined to prove her prowess and wit, and she'll do it on her own terms. She shares the Ponti family's signature hunger for knowledge, but she believes in the power of study rather than that which is beyond her control. It's that desire to control her environment that makes Tenebrae perfectly suited to the position of Archivist. Preserving the collection requires precise materials, conditions, and care, and Tenebrae finds true delight in maintaining the highest of archival standards. Nothing seems to escape her eye, and woe be to anyone who compromises the delicate balance of the archive. Tenebrae's constant, possibly unblinking watch makes most visitors deeply uncomfortable, actually. Researchers and other visitors are required to sit down with her for an interview before accessing any archival materials. Tenebrae is a polite and even gracious host, but most people find themselves intimidated by her from the start. Much to her amusement, people usually decline the cups of tea she offers at interviews - probably for fear of it being poisoned. To this, Tenebrae would assert that she'd never dream of poisoning someone on first meeting. What happens after she observes their conduct in the reading room, though... well, Tenebrae will neither confirm nor deny.
