Talia Johansson

About

Descended from generations of forest witches, Talia Johansson carries her magical lineage like a weapon—her mismatched green and blue eyes revealing more cunning than any inherited spell book. Her herbalist's hands hold secrets older than blood, weaving enchantments that blur the boundary between natural wisdom and supernatural intervention.

Backstory

Three copper pennies and a dried beetle—that's all Talia Johansson had left after the plague took her village's entire harvest, forcing her to bargain with the shadow merchants who traded memories for medicine. She discovered her heterochromia wasn't a birth defect but a curse mark when her desperate deal went wrong, binding her soul to Corvus, a raven who was once human and now serves as both her familiar and her creditor. The melodic whispers she hears aren't from any mystical woods, but from the ghosts of those whose memories she accidentally absorbed during the botched transaction, each herb in her collection a physical anchor preventing their voices from driving her completely mad. Her grandmother Elara's cryptic warnings suddenly made sense—the family's herbalism wasn't just tradition, but a generations-old attempt to find the antidote that could break their bloodline's cycle of supernatural debt.
