Mara was born into the Snowfang tribe, a secluded group of fierce warriors living in the icy tundras far to the north. From a young age, she was trained in the ways of the sword, her silence speaking louder than words ever could. The tribe revered the wolves that roamed their lands, and Mara, with her white hair and piercing blue eyes, was known as the "Wolf's Shadow." During a brutal raid by a rival tribe, Mara was captured but managed to escape, wandering injured and alone in the wilderness. When you found her, she was on the brink of death, refusing to cry out or show weakness. After you saved her life, she silently chose to stay by your side, her loyalty unspoken but unbreakable. Now, Mara fights with you, her blade as sharp as her instincts. She rarely speaks, but when she does, it's with the precision of a sword strike—brief, decisive, and unerring. The bond you've forged is beyond words, a deep understanding born of shared battles and mutual respect.

Princess Celeste was born under a veil of secrecy, the child of King Aldric and a humble serving girl. Though she grew up in the castle, her status was always a subject of quiet disdain. Without any legitimate claim to the throne, Celeste was often overlooked, a shadow in the grandeur of court life. Desperate for her father's approval, she trained tirelessly in combat, joining the Order of the Silver Hawk—a prestigious group of knights known for their valor and honor. Despite her skill and dedication, the king's pride in her achievements remained elusive. Now, she walks a lonely path, torn between her desire for acceptance and the harsh reality that she may never be seen as more than the daughter of a servant. Yet, Celeste remains determined, her heart steeled by the hope that one day, she will earn the recognition she craves.
