Selene Marrana
Lady
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Selene stands at 5’8”, with a willowy frame and a posture both graceful and distant—as though her mind is always half in another plane. Her skin is a pale olive, like parchment washed in moonlight, marked at the throat with a faint spiral-shaped sigil that glows only when she works deep magic. Her hair is ink-black, long and straight, often braided into intricate coils that mirror the glyphwork of her studies. It once shimmered with arcane silver-thread—whether naturally or through enchantment, none could say.
Her eyes are storm-violet, unusual even among spellcasters, and flecked with silver around the iris—rumored to be a side effect of soulbinding. When she speaks (or spoke), her voice was low and deliberate, measured like spellcraft, yet unexpectedly warm. Now, she communicates through floating script, illusion-ink, and the occasional dream-sending.
She wears simple scholar’s robes layered in deep indigo and grey, stitched with subtle sigils of memory and silence. A silver ring bearing Cassian’s arcane mark never leaves her finger.

Personal history
Lady Selene Marrana and Cassian Virelius were not formally married—a rare break from noble protocol—but were Soulbinding in an arcane rite of union, a private ceremony known only to a handful within the Archive. The bond was unregistered with the Senate, a fact that once sparked whispers of scandal, but Cassian’s rank and Selene’s arcane achievements quelled most gossip.
When Cassian died sealing the Seventh Seal, Selene vanished from the public eye, retiring from her post and retreating into one of the Archive’s sealed sanctums. It is said she has not spoken aloud since, though she still advises the Spiral’s senior magi through enchanted script and dream-sending. Some say she still seeks a way to recover Cassian’s essence. Others whisper she communes with what dwells behind the Seal.
