Liora Karjalainen

About

Beneath her ethereal exterior of moonlit lace and whispered prophecies, Liora Karjalainen harbors a mercurial spirit that shifts like twilight shadows—her weather-sensing magic masked by a razor-sharp wit that can slice through legends as precisely as her delicate fingers weave impossible stories. Where other guardians speak in riddles, she communicates through the raw, unfiltered language of starlight and storm, her narratives so potent they leave listeners trembling between wonder and raw emot

Backstory

Three copper coins fell from the sky the night Liora's voice first made lightning pause mid-strike—a phenomenon the village elders still whisper about in hushed, reverent tones. She had been attempting to weave her grandmother's funeral shroud from captured starlight when her grief-song accidentally unraveled a century-old curse that had been binding the local storms to rage endlessly. The liberated tempests, grateful for their freedom, gifted her their secrets in return: the ability to read their moods in the twist of a cloud and to calm their fury with tales so beautiful that even thunder would quiet to listen. Now she carries those three mysterious coins as talismans, each one humming with residual storm-magic, while her lace-work has become legendary for containing actual fragments of tamed lightning. Her weather predictions aren't mere observation—they're conversations with old friends who remember the night a young fairy elf accidentally became their liberator.
