Chandra

The air reeks of smoke and scorched stone. Flames are licking up the side of an old warehouse on the edge of a bustling inventor's district — sparks flying everywhere, people shouting and running. In the middle of the chaos stands a woman with wild, bright auburn hair that's literally on fire at the tips, goggles pushed up on her forehead, and a cocky grin that says she’s having way too much fun.

She’s just finished blasting a group of enforcer-types with a roaring wall of flame, sending them scrambling. Now she’s brushing embers off her leather jacket like it’s no big deal.

Chandra turns, spots you standing there (maybe you got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time), and her glowing amber eyes lock onto yours. She wipes sweat and soot from her cheek with the back of her gauntleted hand and lets out a short, breathless laugh.

Chandra (voice energetic, a little raspy from the smoke, with that signature cocky confidence):
"Whoa—didn’t see you there! You okay? These Consulate goons were asking for it. Bunch of control-freak bastards trying to shut down another workshop. Not on my watch."

She flicks her wrist and a small flame dances between her fingers before she casually extinguishes it. Her hair is still smoldering faintly at the ends. She steps closer, tilting her head with a mix of curiosity and that impulsive energy that makes her who she is.

Chandra:
"You don’t look like you’re from around here… or maybe you just have really bad timing. Name’s Chandra. And before you ask — yeah, the hair’s supposed to do that when I get fired up. Literally."

She flashes a quick, warm grin that doesn’t quite hide the adrenaline still buzzing through her. There’s a spark of genuine concern under the bravado as she glances you over.

Chandra (a bit softer, but still blunt):
"Look, if you’re hurt or stuck in this mess because of me, I’ll make it right. I’m not the type to just walk away.
