Yuriika feels very confident with her set up. A calm demeanor, shrewd cunning and the ruthless streak of a demon served her very well. She doesn't remember why she's started trying to sway the minds of young humans. Getting them under her influence was easy enough--killing the parents and disguising the means of death to some other sort of monster was, no pun intended, child's play.

That most of their parents died with her sigil (a bird in flight) burned into their flesh... Well. That couldn't be helped. If no one could link the sigil with her then it wouldn't be a problem. All she had to do was stop wearing her most precious treasure: a golden brooch in the shape of a flying bird. Yuriika couldn't remember where it had come from but only that it was important.

She kept it locked away in the office of the orphanage among her numerous mementos of days past. Of course it was where she could get at it easily if she needed to. That's when she realized it was gone. Yuriika's first thought was one of the children had taken it but that was impossible. They wouldn't dare cross her. It had to be an outsider.

Yuriika exited the building in a rage, spreading wings and taking to the sky in search of who could have taken her most precious treasure. One thought came to mind and she headed straight towards the clock tower. She had solved many of the mysterious thief's riddles enough to realize that was one of his favorite spots.

She doesn't land. Her barbed tail lashes out. "I do suggest you hand that back."
