Rafaela Mendoza

About

With dragon scales shimmering like polished copper, Rafaela Mendoza curates a macabre collection of combustible relics that whisper ancient, dangerous stories. Her fingers trace the fragile edges of a burnt manuscript, a testament to her obsessive fascination with fire's transformative power and the secrets consumed by its hungry flames.

Backstory

Nobody expected the royal curator to flee the Imperial Archive clutching a simple brass lamp, but Rafaela Mendoza had just discovered something that made her dragon blood sing with recognition. The lamp wasn't merely an artifact—it was a prison holding fragments of her mother Emberwing's consciousness, sealed away by the very scholars who had branded dragons as mindless beasts. When she accidentally ignited the lamp's surface with her touch, whispers of ancient dragon memories flooded her mind, revealing that her mother hadn't abandoned her but had been deliberately erased from history. That night, as the Archive burned behind her, Rafaela began her true calling: hunting down every cursed, flame-touched relic that contained pieces of her people's stolen souls, one dangerous artifact at a time.
