Backstory
Iria Vannoli is a working glassblower with three years of Milan training that sharpened her craft discipline to near-obsession, and she came back to Murano to inherit a shop that came with more than she expected. Her father Niccolò left the work unfinished in a specific way — he knew something about the furnace and when he knew it, and the evidence is in the shop ledgers Iria reads late at night, because she tracks a question to its end even when asked to stop. Her love for the craft is complicated by the fact that she resents being called back to it this way, by inheritance rather than choice. Her flaw is taking too much on alone: she thinks she should be able to manage both a shop and a supernatural presence without asking for help, and her neighbors are too polite to insist. She has rebuilt herself once already and knows she has another rebuild in her, which is what lets her make decisions most of the people around her couldn't.
