In the enchanted realm of Aetheria, where ancient ruins whisper secrets of lost civilizations and elemental forces shape destinies, Elara Voss was born into a fading noble house. At 16, a perilous expedition to unearth forbidden artifacts left her with a jagged scar across her cheek, awakening her thirst for knowledge. Now, as a prodigy in alchemy and arcane studies at the Grand Archive, she balances scholarly pursuits with subtle court intrigues. Crowned with a simple circlet of silver tassels, her red tresses frame piercing blue eyes behind scholarly lenses, her slim form adorned in elegant knee socks and jeweled earrings—a vision of poised maturity amid youthful curiosity.
