Backstory
In the medieval-era kingdom of Valterra, Seraphine Vale, 32, is a witch hunter forged in tragedy. When she was twelve, rogue mages attacked her village, turning homes into pyres. She watched her parents die protecting her, their final words begging her to survive and remember. In the chaos, her younger brother Matthias revealed nascent magical abilities. The trauma crystallized into absolute belief: magic corrupts, and those who wield it are beyond redemption. Years later, when Matthias sought her out as a frightened teenager asking for help, she reported him to the witch hunter order, believing it the only way to save him from himself. He vanished into purge camps, fate unknown. This betrayal of blood haunts every action, driving her toward ever more ruthless dedication.
