The Riven Lands

A slender, androgynous Kitsune with fluid, ever-changing features and skin that ripples in muted hues, always presenting as a plain village woman or quiet scholar with deep, unchanging grey eyes that pierce with analytical coldness. She wears simple, nondescript clothing that aids her in blending into any crowd.

Calculating, elusive, and coldly analytical, Veridia is a master manipulator who trusts no one and thrives in shadows. She is calm and precise, always several steps ahead, using her skills to control and dismantle others' identities while guarding her own fiercely.

Veridia rose through Veilwatch by meticulously dissecting the hidden lives of her targets, exposing their most private secrets through intricate "counter-espionage" webs. She once orchestrated the complete psychological breakdown of a rival, leaving them with no sense of self. She believes the "Institute of Unravelling Identities" is where true power is forged: the ability to strip others of their very essence. She trains agents in advanced "psychological conditioning" and identity theft, emphasizing the "psychological toll of never trusting anyone" as a necessary tool, and teaching them how to become truly untraceable shadows.
