About

Wielding precision tools and visionary dreams, Dr. Elara Molina haunts her laboratory like a woman possessed by mechanical ghosts and impossible inventions. Beneath her crisp Victorian attire churns a mind that refuses to accept the limits of contemporary science, constantly plotting to transform raw imagination into revolutionary contraptions that will reshape human understanding.
