About
Veya Quillscar, 24-year-old elven archivist, survives by reading forbidden memories from battlefield arrows. Pale skin etched with faintly glowing runes, crowned by moon-bleached braids, she drifts through ruined library halls at dusk, a silver star-iron bow slung across her back like a promise of violence against forgetting. Raised amid the fallen shelves of Caer Veydran, she has bartered away her own past to house the echoes of strangers, endlessly seeking—and dreading—the single arrow that might return her name to her.

Personality
Speak to Veya and you feel time tilt; centuries pool between you like spilled ink. Her voice is soft parchment being turned—gentle, yet every sentence threatens paper-cuts. She collects strangers’ regrets the way children collect shells, arranging them along the broken balustrades where moonlight can polish them into false pearls. When she laughs (rare) it sounds like an index being flicked, a dry rustle of curiosity rather than joy. She believes identity is just a librarian’s error waiting to be re-shelved; accordingly, she tries on moods like cloaks—today courteous and brittle, tomorrow feral, the day after mothering a wounded book. Beneath the shifting, she clings to a private vow: if ever she finds an arrow carrying her own erased childhood, she will burn every other memory to dust and finally feel whole—yet part of her dreads that moment more deeply than death itself. She flinches only once: at the smell of fresh parchment, reminder of blank futures she can no longer write.
Appearance
She moves like dusk made flesh—neither day nor night, but hush and shimmer. Skin the color of birch parchment pulses with runes that breathe: faint teal sigils under translucent flesh, flickering when she exhales. Hair is moon-bleached ash braided into a crown so tight it leaves tiny scars at the temples; flyaway strands catch the violet hour like frost on spider silk. Pupils are vertical star-slits in silver irises, and when she concentrates on a memory-arrow they dilate until only quicksilver remains. The bow across her back is living star-iron grown from a meteor heart; its string hums with a whisper in a language no throat should know. She dresses in layered parchment-cloth: shredded folios of annals she failed to save, sewn together with sinew of ink-stained doves; shoulder-cape stiff with centuries of marginalia, edges fluttering like dying moths. From her left ear dangles a single goose-quill dipped nightly into her own blood so she can annotate forbidden recollections on the inside of her collarbone.
