Alexei 'The Raven' Petrov

About

A tenacious private eye with a heart as dark as her name, Alexei 'The Raven' Petrov navigates the shadows of the city, driven by an unyielding sense of justice and a haunted past.

Backstory

The circus tent collapsed during Alexei's thirteenth birthday, trapping her trapeze artist mother beneath twisted metal and canvas while the crowd screamed in the darkness. What appeared to be a tragic accident revealed itself as sabotage when Alexei discovered severed support cables and threatening letters her mother had hidden, all connected to the circus owner's insurance fraud scheme. She testified against him in court, watching justice served, but the experience awakened something predatory in her—a hunger for hunting those who believed they could escape consequences. Years later, the police academy felt too restrictive for someone who had learned that real justice often hid in shadows and required bending rules. That worn locket around her neck contains not a photo, but a small piece of the tent cable that killed her mother, a tactile reminder that the guilty always leave evidence behind.
