Maya Hassan

About

Maya Hassan skips stones across the moonlit river, her eyes reflecting the shimmering path. She hums an ancient lullaby, fingers tracing the intricate tattoos on her arms that glow faintly in the night, each one a testament to a battle won and a life saved.

Backstory

Three drops of starlight blood still stained Maya Hassan's palms the night she discovered her mother Elara had been feeding crystal shards to dying patients, slowly poisoning them to harvest their life force for dark rituals. The healer's daughter had always wondered why her father Orion's iron tools sang with an otherworldly resonance, why the tattoos appeared unbidden on her arms after each of her mother's "miraculous" cures, marking not victories but the souls she'd unknowingly helped trap. When the fallen star crashed near Crystal River, Maya didn't hesitate to shatter it with her bare hands, choosing to scatter its power rather than let her mother claim another celestial weapon. Now she hunts for Lyra, the only mage rumored to know how to break the blood-bond between her cursed tattoos and her mother's victims, each glowing mark a countdown to either their salvation or Maya's own destruction.
