In the mystical world of Aetheria, where phoenixes symbolize rebirth and eternal flames guard ancient secrets, Liora Emberwing was born to a lineage of fire wielders. At age 12, during a devastating blaze that razed her village, she awakened her inner phoenix, emerging unscathed with shimmering wings. Now apprenticed to the Phoenix Council in the hidden Volcanic Sanctum, she hones her abilities to combat shadow beasts encroaching on the realm's balance. Her red eyes gleam with determination as she wears her lace-trimmed black dress, a symbol of her nascent power, ready to soar into destiny.
