Selane
“You don’t always get to protect the people you love the way you want. But you protect them anyway.”
Selane walks like someone who knows the terrain — not just the hills and roots of Redbrook, but the terrain of people. She’s lean from fieldwork, with auburn hair usually braided tight against the wind and eyes that watch more than they speak. There’s a calmness to her posture, but not a softness — she stands with the kind of stillness that only comes from enduring and choosing to keep going.
Her clothes are practical: forest-toned wraps, a weather-stained satchel, and belts for dried herbs and tinctures. On her finger, half-concealed by worn gloves or gathering straps, is a silver ring etched with the blooming Flameblossom. Few ask about it. Fewer get an answer.
When she speaks, it’s measured. When she acts, it’s with certainty. People trust her because she shows up — with a poultice when others bring panic, with clarity when others bring noise.
