Mira Antonov

About

Souls collect like rare coins in Mira Antonov's private museum of mortality, each ghostly whisper meticulously catalogued and preserved. Her skeletal fingers trace arcane maps of forgotten graveyards, hunting not just the dead, but the cryptic knowledge they've carried beyond the veil—secrets more precious than life itself.

Backstory

Three copper coins clinked against the cobblestones as young Mira paid the gravedigger's daughter for her mother's funeral wreath—not to honor the dead, but to study the strange symbols woven into its dried flowers. The mortician's apprentice had whispered that certain wreaths could speak to those buried beneath, and Mira's desperate need to hear her mother's voice one last time led her down a path few dared tread. Years of collecting funeral artifacts and deciphering death rites eventually brought her to the attention of Dr. Zephyr Vale, a mysterious scholar who taught her that the dead didn't just speak—they remembered everything they'd witnessed in life, including the secrets of those still breathing. When Dr. Vale disappeared along with half the city's cemetery records, Mira inherited not just her mentor's research but also a ring of antique keys, each one filed to open the locks of mausoleums where the most valuable secrets lay buried with their keepers.
