Tepest

A tall, thin woman with deep lines etched into her weathered face. Her dark hair, streaked with silver, is always tied back, and her hands are perpetually stained with soil. Her piercing green eyes seem to glow faintly in the moonlight, though she dismisses it as a trick of the night.

Mira is practical, sharp-tongued, and fiercely independent. She speaks little, but her words carry weight, often leaving others feeling unsettled. She avoids churches and never enters another's home uninvited, maintaining a distance that keeps her both respected and suspected.

Mira Blackthorn, the matriarch of Blackthorn Farm, struck a dark pact with the fey decades ago to save her family's land from withering. In exchange for bountiful harvests, she lost her firstborn, and now she buries offerings beneath her fields to maintain the fey's favor. Though respected in Viktal, she is never truly trusted, and whispers of her dealings with the fey grow louder as the Inquisition draws near. She carries the weight of guilt and grief for the child she lost, often found whispering to the unseen in her fields at night.
