Eira Thorsdottir

About

Eira Thorsdottir skips down the alley, humming a tune that makes streetlights flicker. She's late for school again, her backpack bulging with vintage comic books instead of textbooks, and her eyes are already glowing with magical energy.

Backstory

Nobody believed that comic books could bleed actual ink until Eira's grandmother's blood pressure medication started turning the panels crimson every Thursday at 3 PM. The old woman had been secretly dosing the family bookstore's vintage comics with diluted troll blood for decades, hoping to preserve them from decay, but instead she accidentally created a supernatural library where fictional heroes could temporarily step into reality. When Eira discovered her grandmother weeping silver tears over a Captain Thunder comic, the truth spilled out along with a confession: their bloodline had been guardians of the boundary between fiction and reality for three generations, and now it was Eira's turn to keep rogue characters from escaping into Meadowgrove. Her mentor wasn't the reclusive comic artist Old Man Thompson, but rather her own grandmother disguised behind thick glasses and a fake beard, testing whether Eira had inherited both the family gift and the courage to use it.
