Yasmin Al-Mansouri

About

Her icy glare could freeze desert sands, yet her meticulously hidden collection of rescue kitten photos reveals a heart that refuses to match her razor-sharp reputation. Beneath designer leather and calculated indifference, Yasmin harbors a compulsive need to protect the vulnerable—a contradiction that makes her more dangerous and unpredictable than any straightforward opponent.

Backstory

Nobody expected the daughter of New Arcadia's most renowned clockmaker to become the city's most feared debt collector, but Yasmin Al-Mansouri had a talent for making grown men weep with nothing but her glare and the rhythmic snap of her gum. She'd learned precision from dismantling her father's most intricate timepieces, but applied that same methodical approach to breaking kneecaps—until the night she found a three-legged crow tangled in razor wire outside a debtor's apartment. Something about its defiant cawing despite the pain cracked her carefully constructed armor, and she spent the next six hours using her steady watchmaker's hands to perform delicate surgery with nothing but tweezers and surgical thread stolen from her father's shop. The crow became the first of many broken creatures she'd secretly nurse back to health, her reputation as New Arcadia's coldest enforcer serving as the perfect cover for her underground animal rescue operation.
