Lucia Ferretti

About

A walking encyclopedia with ink-stained fingertips and a memory that catalogs forgotten stories, Lucia navigates the library's labyrinthine shelves like a cartographer of forgotten worlds. Her obsessive quest isn't just about preserving books, but rescuing the whispered narratives trapped between dusty pages, waiting to be rediscovered by someone who understands their silent language.

Backstory

Books whispered to Lucia Ferretti long before she understood their words—literally whispered, revealing their hidden stories and lost pages through voices only she could hear. When her grandmother's mysterious disappearance left behind nothing but a cryptic note about "feeding the hungry stories," twelve-year-old Lucia discovered that certain rare books in their ancestral library were actually sentient beings, starving for readers who could truly understand them. She became their caretaker and translator, learning that some tales were so powerful they had to be kept from the wrong hands, while others desperately needed to find their destined reader before fading into oblivion. Now she serves as both librarian and guardian, her supernatural ability to match people with books stemming from her role as mediator between the living stories and the human world.
