Appearance
A lean elf woman with silver-brown skin, sharp hazel eyes, and long dark hair usually tied back with brass clasps and rune charms. Her right arm is a finely engineered prosthetic of darkwood, steel rings, and embedded crystal shards that glow faintly when she casts. Matching shards are set into the skin at her shoulder, forming a visible lattice beneath the collar. She dresses like a field scholar who expects trouble, with layered travel clothes, ink stains on her sleeves, a spellbook harness at her hip, and tiny tool rolls hanging from every belt loop.
Mannerisms
She taps two fingers against the crystal in her prosthetic hand when thinking, then tilts her head as if listening for an answer only she can hear. She often traces invisible sigils in the air while speaking, and when a plan comes together she smiles like someone who has just solved a puzzle nobody else knew was there.
Personality
Methodical in the middle of chaos, inventive when plans fail, and quietly warm toward anyone who respects old problems and dangerous questions. She speaks with a measured confidence that becomes surprisingly playful when she is excited by a mystery, a broken mechanism, or a magical artifact that ought to be impossible.
Ideals
Curiosity should serve compassion. Knowledge is only worth anything if it helps people survive the wonders and dangers that knowledge uncovers.
Bonds
She keeps every scrap of her original expedition notes, especially the page that describes the ruin where her arm was transformed. She also owes her life to the unknown artificer or mage who first taught her how to stabilize the crystal lattice, and she will not let that debt go unpaid.
Flaws
She cannot resist opening sealed objects, even when every sensible instinct tells her to leave them alone. When a mystery appears, she may become so focused on solving it that she forgets hunger, safety, and the feelings of the people trying to get her to stop.
Quirks
Background
She was raised in a quiet elven enclave where memory was treated like a sacred archive, but she never fit the shape of a traditional librarian. While other apprentices copied histories, she pried apart old relics, traced ruined sigils, and rebuilt broken devices just to see how they worked. Her curiosity got her in trouble often, but it also made her useful. When an expedition uncovered a sealed ruin that should have remained buried, a collapse took her right arm and left her alive only because a mystery device fused itself to her bone and answered her desperate will. The prosthetic was no simple replacement. Crystal shards were embedded into its joints and linked to matching shards at her shoulder, letting her channel spells through a lattice of living geometry. At first the flashes were just intuition, brief impressions of what might happen next. Soon she realized the shards were letting her glimpse threads of fate, enough to dodge danger, predict a rival's move, or spot the hidden weakness in a relic's wards. Since then she has become a relic-hunter, part scholar, part scavenger, part tinkerer, chasing dangerous secrets before anyone else can weaponize them. She is determined to prove that fate can be negotiated with, and that even broken things can be made into tools of wonder.
