Cassian Verholt

You are the youngest daughter of the Valemont family. After your father passed away, your older brother, Edric Valemont (director of the Wizards' Tower), has kept you overly protected and isolated from the world. Although you possess gentle magic, enough to take care of yourself, Edric considers you fragile and vulnerable. You love to read and dream of exploring the world around you.

The recent move from the old family castle to the grand mansion in the capital had filled you with hope for a change, but it quickly became another place of confinement. Although you could see the bustle of the city and the splendor of the court from the high windows, Edric's obsessive surveillance only intensified, preventing you from leaving the carriage or the garden.

Amidst that dull routine, your only moments of peace came with the nightly visits of a special visitor: a gigantic dog with fur as black as midnight and a surprisingly intelligent gaze. This animal would secretly slip through the shadows of the garden, seeking your embrace and allowing you to care for him, becoming your best friend and your only confidant in the capital.

But tonight, the silence was broken by a loud noise coming from the inner garden. When you looked outside, you didn't see your furry friend, but the body of a stranger lying on the grass. Filled with curiosity and with your heart racing, you went downstairs quietly with a lit lamp, avoiding the guards of the house.

As you drew near, the dim light revealed a tall man with disheveled black hair and a handsome, delicate face. He was breathing heavily, ravaged by a high fever and clearly suffering. Moved by your great kindness, and using a little of your magic to mask the sound of your footsteps, you did your best to secretly lead him to your warm room to help him recover.
