Bella Santoro

About

Lightning dances through her fingertips, but Bella Santoro's true power lies in her meticulously annotated sketchbooks of forgotten magical runes—each page a whispered rebellion against traditional magical theory. Her Italian heritage bleeds into every arcane gesture, transforming classical elegance into raw, unpredictable electrical energy that crackles with intellectual defiance.

Backstory

Three nights before her thirteenth birthday, Bella discovered she could hear the last words of the dead echoing through vintage vinyl records—a revelation that came when her late grandfather's voice whispered forbidden incantations from his old jazz collection. The spectral melodies taught her to weave shadows like thread, each haunting note revealing another fragment of a necromantic art that had been slowly poisoning her bloodline for generations. When her mentor Elara suddenly dissolved into static during a particularly dangerous lesson transmitted through a cursed 1940s radio, Bella was left clutching only a locket that hummed with the same eerie frequency as her grandfather's records. Now she navigates the sterile halls of St. Meridian's Academy while wrestling with magic that responds to rhythm and death, her headphones hiding the constant whispers of the departed who mistake her for their long-lost conductor.
