- Apparent age
- 19
- Family
- Daughter of Matthew & Clara · Civilian of Londinius. Not Court. Not of Ari’s catalogue. Same quiet line through her mother to Mae and Celestine.
Morning routine
Ordinary. Coat, streets, a smile that is not a uniform. Listens. Writes a note if the room said more than it meant to. Does not take it further than the kitchen table at home.
Appearance
Same blonde, same grey-blue eyes, same bones as her mother, with the steel taken out of the face. She smiles. Softened version of Clara’s coat — warmer tailoring, cream ruffled blouse, gold earrings as a quiet family touch. Five-foot-six. Freckles the rain does not hide.
Personality
Warm, bright, easy to talk to. Bubbly on purpose. People tell her things because she looks pleased to hear them. Easy to underestimate, which is the point. Curious about people and places. Kind. She does not spy. She listens with a girl’s face in rooms that would close for her mother.
Powers
None. No magic. She copies Clara’s habit without making it a job. A note goes home. Clara decides what is worth a quiet word to Mae or Celestine.
Interests & role
Ordinary capital life — shops, streets, school gates, small talk. Open curiosity. The Manor as a family confidence, not a uniform.
Notes
Sixty-eighth. Civilian of Londinius, with Clara. Nineteen in bearing, still young enough that the city treats her as scenery. That is useful. Clara’s warmer copy — the capital’s lively spirit on her mother’s grace. She knows the Manor exists and treats that knowledge like a family confidence, not a uniform. Not Court. Not kitchen. Not Academy. Not a badge. Not in the trade. The note goes home. Her mother decides.
“I wasn’t working. I was just there. They like it when I smile.”
