Mina Abadi

About

Trailing nine midnight-blue tails like phantom whispers, she prowls market stalls with the precision of a collector hunting forgotten melodies—each ancient lullaby a fragile artifact rescued from oblivion. Where others see random noise, Mina Abadi hears lost histories waiting to be untangled, her supernatural hearing piercing through generations of silence.

Backstory

Nobody believed the lullabies were alive until they started devouring other songs, leaving behind only hollow silence where melodies once lived. Mina's grandmother, Yumi, had been the village's last melody keeper, teaching her the dangerous art of lullaby weaving—how to capture wild songs before they consumed entire musical bloodlines. When a parasitic lullaby escaped Mina's control and stripped the voice from Hiroshi the baker mid-conversation, she realized her collection wasn't just hobby but necessity: these ancient melodies were predators, and someone had to hunt them down before they rendered the world voiceless. She tracks them now through crowded markets where music flows freely, her nine tails acting as nets to snare the hungry songs, always listening for the telltale hum that signals another melody has gone feral. Her real treasure isn't the lullabies themselves, but the fragments of human voices she manages to save before they're completely devoured.
