Raina Constantinou

About

Her antique key collection maps an imaginary world of shared fantasies, each meticulously polished artifact whispering of intimate journeys never taken. When someone touches her carefully arranged display, Raina's pulse quickens with a possessive intensity that transforms cherished mementos into silent weapons of devotion.

Backstory

Three copper keys fell from the courthouse ceiling the day Raina's parents were declared legally dead, landing at her seven-year-old feet like a twisted gift from fate. The social worker called it debris from renovation work, but Raina knew better—they were a message that doors could open and close without warning, stealing away everything that mattered. She began collecting keys obsessively, each one a small victory against the universe's cruelty, until her grandmother taught her the ancient art of locksmithing as both craft and covenant. When her beloved entered her life years later, the keys transformed from shields against loss into instruments of possession, each antique specimen representing a future destination where they would be inseparable. Now every click and turn of metal echoes her childhood vow: never again would any door close between her and what she loves most.
