Mrs. Ghazi is a sand ooze, a Fifth Floor Borough Boss, and the daughter of Samantha and King Blaine.[2][3]
AI Description
Mrs. Ghazi
Sand Ooze. Level 52 Borough Boss!
This is a minion of Psamathe.
Every living thing seeks the same thing. A sense of contentment. No matter what their origin story is, no matter what they are made of, the moment they first exist, no matter how dumb, how smart, how confused, they seek a place of comfort. What that comfort looks like to them can vary wildly, even amongst creatures of the same species. Oftentimes, that journey to felicity is what defines their entire lifecycle. When that creature crosses paths with another, it is inevitable that the weaker of the two will fall further away from their goal.
This is the sort of thing that might go through Mrs. Ghazi's mind as it spends its day watching over a man it has grown to love at the behest of someone more powerful than itself. The knowledge that the man's feelings are not mutual is like a dagger in its heart, if it had one. It wrestles daily with this realization, teetering on the edge of indecision. Do I protect him because I love him? Do I kill him because he doesn't love me back? Do I continue with my duty? What would become of me if I simply disobeyed?
It's a lot of stress for a creature not used to having any emotion. It's almost too much. But even if this creature wanted to end it all, it couldn't. Its master has the ability to bring it right back, over and over again.[2]
Description
As long as Samantha exists in this realm, Mrs. Ghazi can be fully resurrected from a single grain of sand. She can be temporarily killed by setting fire to her core.[4]
If a sand ooze catches prey, it latches on like quicksand and pours sand into every available orifice until the prey explodes.[2]
Appearance
When she moves, Mrs. Ghazi bubbles like gray lava.[4] Her core is a glowing yellow yolk-like dome.[2]
Story
On the Fifth Floor, Ghazi used the Gate of the Feral Gods with the intention of contacting the god Yarilo, and offering to free him from the Nothing in exchange for making the fictional character Lika fall in love with him. Instead, he contacted and half-freed Psamathe and her daughter/minion/familiar, the sand ooze.
Mrs. Ghazi took the form of Lika, married Ghazi, and consummated the marriage before turning back to sand. Now, she takes Lika's shape when the sandstorm isn't raging outside; at the same time, Ghazi turns to sand. She has fallen in love with her husband, and shows her love by consuming his sand-form every day and refusing to allow him to leave the room. Ghazi believes she's jealous of Samantha.[4]
