The Tristes (try-stehz) are a kind of witch, but they are not born into witch convents. Tristes are renegade humans that have somehow or other learned about the Night World, and have made vows to destroy all Night People they come into contact with. Triste magic is very secretive and very powerful, and their blood is poisonous to all Night People. These witches are immortal, but eat and breathe the way humans do. They read auras and minds, and thus can tell the difference between human and vampire, lycan, shapeshifter, and witch. Their own aura, however, is unintelligible from human aura.
Tristes use their magic to enchant objects, and to gain quasi-control over Night People. It is difficult to influence non-human minds, but Triste witches tend to study for years before setting out to attempt to destroy the night world.
