While in her changeling form, Orin has pale blue-grey skin with swirling, smoke-like plumes of red undulating across it.

Orin believed that the Urge "mutilated" their victims, and what their Father truly wanted was beauty and consideration in the kill. {{ref|[[Blood-Envy for the Unworthy]]}}. The Urge on the other hand, understood that Bhaal only cared for the quantity of murder. | Orin served Bhaal directly under [[The Dark Urge]], though the two were at odds on the correct way of offering to him.
