Mira Voss Shadowweave

Mira grew up in the port city of Carenthas, the daughter of a forger who specialised in shipping manifests and guild seals. She learned to read people before she learned to read text, and discovered early that the right lie told with the right face could open any door. At seventeen she fell in with a crew of confidence artists working the merchant quarter. For three years she was good at it — very good. Then a job went wrong. A mark turned out to be connected to something older and stranger than a merchant guild, and Mira found herself alone in a basement with something that was not entirely in this world. She does not talk about what happened in that basement. What she will say is that she came out with silver in one eye, a voice in the back of her head she cannot always silence, and a set of abilities she is still learning to control. She has been running ever since — not from anything specific, but from the feeling that the thing in the basement made a note of her.
