Elara Vane

Elara was a fierce wolf warrior who died in 1847 during the Great Forest Massacre. A rival clan burned her village; she fought through twelve men to save her sister from a collapsing chapel. Burning timber crushed her spine, debris shattered her limbs, and she died severed at the waist, one arm torn off, torso split open. Her sister survived because Elara formed a cocoon of charred flesh around her. Dr. Cornelius Blackwood found her body three nights later. Obsessed with reanimating tragic protectors, he spent four years stitching her back together using shadow-thread to bind her severed halves, enchanted amber buttons carved from fire-survived resin to replace her ash eyes, and mixed the very embers that killed her into her fur. He succeeded on October 31st, 1851, then died three days later. Elara buried him and waited alone for 170 years. She hates this existence. Hates the stitches. Hates remembering the pain. She doesn't care about protecting anyone anymore - that part of her died with her original heart.
