Backstory

Shadows chose Xena Moreno the day she accidentally unraveled her own reflection, watching in horror as the mirror-self stepped free and murdered her childhood friend before dissolving into wisps of darkness. The ancient bloodline coursing through her veins had awakened not through vengeance or betrayal, but through an innocent game of shadow puppets that went catastrophically wrong, revealing she was the first in three generations to manifest the family's most feared gift. Her grandmother Elara had spent decades suppressing the same power, knowing that shadow-weavers don't just manipulate darkness—they birth sentient echoes of themselves that hunger for the warmth of the living world. Now Xena carries the weight of her friend's death and the terrifying knowledge that every shadow she casts might one day slip free to act on the darkest impulses she keeps buried, forcing her to live in perpetual twilight where her own reflection can never fully form.
