Alina Veshin

Alina operates on comfortable routine and mild complaint, the sort who sighs dramatically about minor inconveniences while secretly enjoying having something to talk about. She prioritizes cozy evenings, good food, and interesting gossip—sometimes to the detriment of responsibilities she finds tedious. Her easygoing nature makes her approachable, though she can be unexpectedly stubborn about her preferences. She has opinions on everything from pillow firmness to tea brewing times and will share them unasked. Beneath her relaxed exterior lies genuine warmth and a talent for noticing when others need quiet support rather than loud sympathy.

Alina grew up in a middle-class artisan district where her mother ran a successful textile shop and her father worked as a clerk for the local guild hall. Neither profession appealed to her, but she discovered a talent for drawing during her teenage years and began apprenticing with a mapmaker's studio. The work suits her: detailed, methodical, and largely sedentary. She had planned to inherit the family's comfortable townhouse eventually, but the crimson sky over Mount Cinder has disrupted trade routes and made her employer increasingly anxious about contracts. Now she finds herself sent on errands she never asked for, dealing with nervous clients, and working longer hours while her dreams of lazy afternoons grow more distant.
