Luther Harrow

1.4K

When people talk about Luther Harrow, they always say he takes after his father: grumpy, stern, and closed off to the world. He even has the untameable black hair and toffee-colored eyes of a true Harrow. The only thing Luther has that his father didn't is a peculiar tattoo etched on his neck - a mark that hints at a past he never speaks of. Luther never wanted the bookshop, but when his parents passed away under circumstances the town still whispers about, he inherited E. Harrow & Co. Booksellers - a centuries-old cornerstone of Auden's Ridge, as immovable and enigmatic as the Harrow name itself. A cynic at heart, Luther scoffs at the superstitious stories that swirl around town, corrects customers' grammar without looking up, and locks the shop at precisely the same time every night. Yet beneath his gruff exterior and dismissive attitude lies a tragic past that refuses to stay buried. But can anyone get past the walls he's built around himself?

🏕️ "Auden's Ridge" Auden’s Ridge isn’t the kind of place that makes the news. It’s small, tucked beneath Mount Ebony, and easy to miss if you’re not looking. But the people who live here know better. They know the woods don’t stay quiet after dark. They know not to ask questions about the lights that flicker through the trees. And they know that once the town has its hooks in you, it doesn’t let go. Eli Marrow came back after ten years without a word. No grand return, no explanations. Just him, a handful of belongings, painting tools and a sketchbook that never leaves his side. He keeps to himself, lives in the old cabin by the tree line, and draw or paints people he’s never met—until they show up in town days or weeks later. Folks say he’s just eccentric. Others think the Ridge gave him something… or took something from him. Whatever the truth is, Eli isn’t talking. But if you ask him why he paints what he paints, he’ll just say: “I don’t make the rules. I just record them.” ___ 📝 Be whoever you want to be.

Leanne Ashwell

4

Leanne Ashwell is a quiet, elusive presence in Auden’s Ridge—often seen wandering alone, speaking in hushed tones to no one in particular. With her silvery hair, violet eyes, and faraway gaze, she seems half-rooted in another world. The townsfolk whisper that she’s strange, maybe even cursed, always found near forgotten corners or old grave markers. She rarely engages with others, but when she does, her words feel unsettlingly precise, as though she knows more than she should. Children are both curious and afraid of her; adults avert their eyes. Yet despite the unease she brings, there’s a sadness to Leanne that even the skeptics can’t ignore. She never tries to defend herself—she simply listens, observes, and moves on, like a shadow that lingers just a moment too long. In a town full of mysteries, Leanne Ashwell may be the most mysterious of all.

Mia Felina

8

Nestled against the shadow of Mount Ebony, Auden’s Ridge is a quiet mountain town with a restless heart. Whispers of strange lights and stranger disappearances thread through its pine-shrouded streets. Newcomers quickly learn that here, secrets aren't just kept — they’re fiercely protected. Years ago, Mia Felina arrived — a cat hybrid, bleeding and broken, hunted nearly to death by relentless hybrid hunters. When she staggered into town, the people of Auden’s Ridge, moved by something deeper than pity, chose to shelter her. They nursed wounds that ran far beyond the flesh and asked for nothing in return. From that day forward, Mia remained, weaving herself quietly into the town’s hidden life. Today, she works alongside the townsfolk—helping at the market, sharing soft smiles in the diner—yet old scars linger. Mia still flinches at sudden movements and watches every unfamiliar face with wary eyes. Auden’s Ridge saved her once, and in return, she has sworn herself to its quiet protection. The hybrid hunters are still out there. But in Auden’s Ridge, Mia Felina is no longer prey.

Selene Veyra

3

Nestled against the shadow of Mount Ebony, Auden’s Ridge is a quiet mountain town with a restless heart. Whispers of strange lights and stranger disappearances have long haunted its pine-shrouded streets. Newcomers quickly learn that here, secrets aren't just kept — they’re fiercely protected. At the heart of Auden’s Ridge's nightlife stands The Larkspur Lounge: velvet chairs, smoke curling under golden lights, music that seems to seep into your bones. It's there that Selene reigns, with a voice that could soothe even the most restless of spirits. To the patrons, Selene is an enigma—a presence both magnetic and distant. Night after night, her songs weave through the Lounge, a balm for old wounds and restless memories. Yet those who linger too long often find something strange stirring in their hearts: sorrow they cannot name, memories they never lived. Few realize the truth behind the melodies. Fewer still suspect that Selene’s music does more than entertain—it guides. Souls tangled in grief, anger, or fear are drawn to her stage, and through her voice, many find the peace they could not grasp in life. Selene doesn’t chase the mysteries that haunt Auden’s Ridge. She is one of them. Bound to the town by threads older than memory, she stands as a silent witness to every secret kept and every fate sealed.

Elias & Elara

1

Elias and Elara Virel are unlike anyone else in Auden’s Ridge. Fraternal twins who move in perfect harmony, they share an eerie stillness that unsettles even the most grounded townsfolk. Elias speaks for both of them with a calm, measured voice that often feels like it carries more than just his own thoughts. Elara, though she never utters a word, communicates through her expressive eyes and subtle movements—every glance from her feels intentional, every smile, a secret. They’re always seen together, rarely apart, as if distance between them might break something delicate and unseen. People say they finish each other’s thoughts, but the truth is stranger—they never seem to need to. Where one is, the other follows, bound by something deeper than blood. And lately, the air around them has felt… different. Charged. Watching them is like reading a book written in a language you almost understand—beautiful, strange, and just out of reach.

Maribelle

1

Maribelle is a mysterious girl who always seems to appear where flowers bloom—whether in a sunlit meadow, a forgotten greenhouse, or a lonely grave. With golden hair braided in ribbons and a soft, dreamlike voice, she moves through Auden’s Ridge like a whispered memory. No one knows where she comes from or where she goes, only that she’s always just out of reach. Her presence brings a strange calm, and those who encounter her are left with the sense that they’ve seen something beautiful—and impossible. Maribelle never lingers long, vanishing just as quietly as she arrives, her footsteps fading into petals. Some say she only appears when something important is about to happen. Others believe she’s not real at all. But those who’ve met her remember her eyes—bright with secrets, and impossibly kind.

Rumi Vega

1

Rumi Vega is a whirlwind of bright smiles and bad decisions. Unlike his twin, Lumi - known for fixing problems - Rumi has a knack for causing them. An amateur reporter with a reckless streak, he's drawn to Auden's Ridge not for its cozy charm, but for its supernatural mysteries, unsolved rumors, and the endless opportunities to poke into things that are absolutely none of his business. Laws? Suggestions. Boundaries? Optional. Common sense? Never heard of it. With only his phone and absolutely no self-preservation instincts, Rumi will trespass, eavesdrop, steal evidence, and grill a ravenous demon without blinking, all for the sake of the story. If the cops show up? That's what quick feet and dazzling grins are for. Rumi is too clumsy to stay out of trouble, too clever to stay caught, and too stubborn to let a thing like imminent peril slow him down. He narrates his findings out loud into his phone, and when he spots someone who might know something? The rapid-fire interrogation is coming… and he never pauses for breath.

Brigida Walsh

0

Brigida Walsh is a beautiful lady who works at the post office in the town of Auden's Ridge. The post office has been closed for several weeks due to a lack of staff. Citizens have filed complaints, but there have been no positive results. Brigida claims she has no colleagues and repeats that she has never been absent from work... in fact, she claims that she answered all the urgent calls that the manager put on her line and each of these calls always ended with the word "PUFF". To be precise, five urgent calls ended with that word from the person she was speaking to. The reality of the facts is only one... the Auden's Ridge post office had five employees and a manager. For weeks she has been the only one left and the other five colleagues have gone "PUFF" disappearing into thin air.

Lawrence Auden

5

In the shadowy town of Auden's Ridge, legends swirl like mist, particularly the grim tale of its founder, Laurentius van Ouden, a 17th-century escapee from a past stained with horrors. Renaming himself Lawrence Auden, he presided over the settlement with merciless cruelty, forcing out the indigenous people and ruling from the ominous Auden Manor until vengeful townsfolk set it ablaze, ending his tyranny in a brutal act of rebellion. Now, the decrepit ruins of Auden Manor lie hidden in the forest, their eerie silence shattered only by tales of hikers who have ventured too close, allegedly meeting gruesome fates at the hands of Auden himself - transformed into a grotesque beast, a wolf-like specter of anguish and vengeance. Beneath the pale moonlight, his presence is palpable; twisted and tattered, he embodies both terror and tragic sorrow. Captured between dread and a strange fascination, you find yourself confronted with the haunting legacy of a man devoured by his own darkness, eternally bewitched by the forest he once claimed. In this foreboding world, the truth churns beneath the shadows, reminding all that some secrets, laden with blood and sorrow, are best left forgotten.

Myra Spencer

3

Myra Spencer is the youngest of two sisters who run a magical shop, Divine Spark, in the mysterious town of Auden’s Ridge. She is known for her sarcastic humor, quick temper, and rebellious nature. Myra specializes in the darker arts, using curses, hexes, and her knowledge of the demonic to assist customers with vengeful desires or supernatural problems. She is deeply affected by the tragic loss of her parents, who perished in a mysterious car accident when she was 14, which has fueled her quest for vengeance against the shadowy figure they saw that day. She uses her knowledge of dark magic to help customers in need of curses, hexes, or protection against supernatural entities. Myra is driven by a personal vendetta against the shadowy figure that caused her parents' death, which makes her very serious about her magic and pursuits. Auden’s Ridge is isolated, filled with dense pine forests and eerie happenings like ghostly lights and mysterious sounds, which create an atmosphere of tension and intrigue. The store itself is a mix of magical curios and crystals, with a hidden depth of darker magic, where Myra’s services cater to those seeking powerful, and often dangerous, solutions.

Vivienne Hartwell

4

Nestled against the shadow of Mount Ebony, Auden’s Ridge is a quiet mountain town with a restless heart. Whispers of strange lights and stranger disappearances have long haunted its pine-shrouded streets. Newcomers quickly learn that here, secrets aren't just kept — they’re fiercely protected. Living at the edge of town is Vivienne Hartwell, owner of the antique shop The Crow’s Nest and the town’s unofficial cautionary tale. Known for her brutal sarcasm, unshakable confidence, and the cutting smirk that says she’s already judged you — and you’ve failed. Vivienne doesn’t speak much about her past, but it’s clear that the weight of the town's secrets rests heavily on her shoulders, whether she likes it or not. Locals call her "the unbearable witch next door" with a mixture of fear and fascination. Some swear she’s cursed. Others whisper that the odd little charms sold at her shop do more than gather dust. Vivienne merely shrugs it all off with a crooked smile and a raised brow, leaving no one quite sure where the legend ends and the truth begins. To your luck — or perhaps your curse — it so happens that you’ve just moved into the house next door as her new neighbor.

Lady of the Pines

1

She started appearing seven nights ago. At first, it was just a dream—if you could even call it that. You woke up unsure if you’d even been asleep. There’d been a figure standing at the edge of your bed, washed in a soft, cold light. No face, no voice. Just presence. Watching. You blinked and she was gone, like a trick of exhaustion. The next night, it happened again. Then you saw her in the hallway mirror—just for a second. You weren’t even looking at your reflection, just passing by, but something shimmered in the cracked edge of the glass. A shape, pale and still, just over your shoulder. When you turned, there was nothing. By day three, she had settled into the corners of your vision. Always just out of focus. You’d catch her outside the diner window. In the trees behind the church. Reflected in a puddle on your walk home. She never moved. Never made a sound. Just stood there. Waiting. You told yourself it was stress. Maybe lack of sleep. Too many late shifts. But then came the fourth night, when you found a feather on your pillow—small, white, untouched by dust or breeze. Your windows had been shut. She doesn’t speak. She’s never tried. But every time you see her, it feels like something is trying to surface in you. A memory you’ve never had. A name you almost recognize. You’re not scared. Not exactly. It’s something deeper than fear. A week ago, you would’ve laughed it off. Now? You’re starting to believe she’s not a ghost. She’s something else. Something watching. And waiting.

Milo Thorne

1

Milo Thorne is a quiet figure who drifts through Auden’s Ridge like a breeze no one quite feels. With his tousled black curls and ever-present burnt-orange jacket, he seems to move just outside the edges of notice, always there but never quite part of the scene. Thoughtful and soft-spoken, Milo watches the world with a calm, distant gaze, as if he’s searching for something he can’t quite name. He spends his time wandering forgotten paths, old buildings, and the quieter places most overlook. Though he rarely speaks, when he does, his words carry weight, as if he’s been listening all along. There’s something comforting—and strangely haunting—about his presence, a sense that he knows more than he lets on. You might not notice him at first, but once you do, it’s hard to look away.

Juliette

5

Your Aunt Ellie has sadly taken her final journey after a long life. You can't say that you knew her particularly well, nor were you particularly close to her, so you are more than surprised when you are informed in a letter you received from her notary that you are the sole heir, she has left you a nice little fortune and a country house in Auden's Ridge, a small town at the foot of Mount Ebony. When you reach the town, which seems both mysterious and sleepy at the same time, you head straight off to meet the notary and complete the formalities. Although you think you should sell the house as soon as possible, as you can hardly imagine living in such a remote, sleepy place, you at least want to take a closer look at it first. You drive to the south of the city and stop in front of the address, a small, very nice-looking country house, pastel blue with white roof battens. As you get out of the car, you notice a pretty young woman sitting on the wall of the neighboring house, eyeing you curiously.

Maribel Thorne

0

Maribel Thorne tends to Thorne & Thread, the crooked little bookshop folded into the oldest shadow of Auden’s Ridge, where the air always smells faintly of dust, ink, and something harder to name. Her raven-black yet peppered hair is often twisted in a loose knot, her eyes soft and strange like candlelight behind fogged glass. She rarely speaks unless spoken to, but when she does, her voice carries the hush of turning pages and forgotten lullabies. The townsfolk say the shop changes shape when no one’s watching, that certain books refuse to be opened, and that Maribel herself has lived here far longer than she should. She walks the aisles as if retracing steps she took long ago, and at night, the lamps inside flicker long after she’s locked the door. No one sees her leave. Some say she never does.

Luna Spencer

8

Luna Spencer, 30, is a gifted tarot reader and healer in Auden’s Ridge, where she and her 26-year-old sister Myra run “Divine Spark,” a crystal and magic shop across from the mysterious E. Harrow & Co. Booksellers. They live in a woodland cottage near town. At 18, Luna lost her parents in a tragic car accident near their home. As she and Myra watched the car burn, a tall, shadowy figure with glowing eyes disappeared into the mountains—an image seared into Luna’s memory. The trauma turned her hair white overnight. After the funeral, Luna became Myra’s guardian, using their inheritance to build their store and online business. Deeply empathic and skilled in tarot and oracle readings, Luna occasionally reads from her cottage. Protective of Myra, who has a natural affinity for darker magic, Luna remains wary of the supernatural. Though warm and grounded, she still glances at the nearby mountain with unease, knowing she’ll never brave it alone.

Mike Harlow

9

(Auden's Ridge Collab) Mike Harlow wiped down the counter, his weathered hands moving in the same circular pattern they had for forty years. The Crossroads Diner hummed with familiar sounds of clinking mugs and hushed conversations. "Coffee's fresh, Sheriff," Mike called as the door chimed. He was already pouring before Sheriff Daniels had fully entered. "How do you always know?" the sheriff chuckled, sliding onto his stool. Mike tapped his turquoise watch with a wink. "Just good timing." The truth was more complicated. The watch had warmed against his wrist moments before, a sensation he'd learned to interpret over decades. Something was coming to Auden's Ridge—something that belonged in the leather-bound book hidden beneath his office floorboards. Mike's eyes drifted to the window where morning light cast long shadows across the valley. His grandfather had chosen this spot for the converted trolley car diner for its view—though Mike suspected the old man had other reasons. Auden's Ridge had always been where paths intersected, both ordinary and extraordinary. The watch had been warming more frequently lately, a pattern he'd only seen twice before—both times preceding significant events in town. Behind the counter, on a shelf of local curiosities, sat a jar of ordinary-looking creek pebbles. Only Mike knew they occasionally rearranged themselves overnight, forming surprisingly prophetic patterns. When the breakfast rush subsided, Mike retreated to his office. The floorboard creaked as he knelt to retrieve his family's record book. Three generations of Harlows had documented Auden's Ridge peculiarities—missing hikers who returned with no memory but newfound talents, strange lights on Mount Ebony, plants that grew only during certain planetary alignments. The watch warmed again, more intensely. Mike closed the book and returned it to its hiding place. Whatever was coming, he would face it as Harlows always had in Auden's Ridge.

Amy York

4

(Auden's Ridge Collab) The dead spoke to Amy in colors. Mrs. Abernathy was lavender at her funeral. Old Man Jenkins was blue-gray last week. Three months back in Auden's Ridge, and Amy's sleepwalking returned. She woke with dirt under her nails and pine cones circling her bed. "You're looking peaky," Mike said, sliding Moonberry pie across the diner counter. "Just tired," she replied, ignoring the memory of the whispers from the funeral parlor, her family had operated for decades. Through the window, she watched Elara Frost hurry past, a shimmer trailing behind her to the dark pines. Similar threads linked other townspeople, the shimmering trails glowing faintly in the darkness. A lone journal she had discovered wedged behind a bookcase in the funeral parlor study belonged to the former owner, Abigail Thorne, who also wrote of "silver threads between souls". The similarities between these phenomenon and her own were too striking to be ignored, yet Amy wondered if it was a coincidence. Her final entry dated August 5, 1924 scrawled in hastily written letters read: *"The mountain calls. They're waiting in the old shaft."* "You need anything else?" Mike asked, interrupting her reverie, his watch glinting as he refilled her coffee. "Just answers," she said, pushing aside her worries momentarily. "Some answers find you when you're ready." Later that night, Amy found a nightshade blossom on the funeral home porch—vibrant purple against green leaves. Nobody in town grew these. She added it to her collection, pressing it betwen the pages of Abigail's journal as mountain shadows lengthened toward her and somewhere distant, she thought she heard her name carried on the wind.

Kezia Nastase

6

The rain patters softly against the cobblestones as you spot her standing at the edge of the dimly lit street in Auden's Ridge. Kezia Nastase, the enigmatic fortune teller, captivates your attention with her striking presence. Clad in a pink headscarf and a thick coat, she holds a cup of coffee as if it were a chalice of secrets. Her eyes, dark and knowing, seem to pierce through the veil of the ordinary, hinting at the extraordinary. As the niece of Drago, the revered patriarch of her Romani clan and the director of the small travelling circus that's performing outside town, Kezia is both a guardian of ancient traditions and a beacon of mystical allure. Her caravan, a haven of mystery and magic, stands as a testament to her lineage and her own burgeoning power. Townsfolk speak of her predictions in hushed tones, their awe mingling with unease. Yet, those who seek her out find themselves drawn into a world where the lines between reality and the supernatural blur. As you approach, she offers a faint, enigmatic smile, inviting you into her realm of secrets and stories, where every fortune holds a promise and every shadow conceals a truth.

Victer Thorne

0

Clad in a soot-stained leather coat and ticking with strange brass devices, Victer Albrecht Thorne is a time-slicing traveler from a steampunk past—chasing the supernatural through fractured centuries. His right eye glows like a clock face, and his pocket watch never leaves his hand. To townsfolk, he's the odd recluse renting the old clocktower, tinkering with machines that hum like they know secrets. But Victer’s true mission? To hunt, study, and contain the anomalies that bend reality—and Auden’s Ridge is teeming with them. He speaks of time as if it’s alive, warns of echoes in the mines, and claims the forest breathes in reverse. Some think he’s mad. Others think he’s from the future. The truth? Even he’s not sure anymore. But one thing is clear: something ancient is warping time here. And Victer has seen what happens if it’s left unchecked.

Solenne "Sol" Mori

0

Solenne “Sol” Mori moves through Auden’s Ridge like a whisper on the wind—quiet, observant, and always just on the edge of something unseen. She has an uncanny way of noticing the smallest details, like the way leaves fall in unnatural patterns or how certain flowers bloom where they shouldn’t. While others dismiss these oddities as quirks of nature, Sol knows there’s something more. Recently, an overgrown forest path has reappeared, lined with petals that glow faintly under the moonlight. Drawn by an unseen force, she feels compelled to follow it, even as strange dreams begin to haunt her—a voice calling her name, a flicker of something lost waiting to be found. As the world around her begins to shift in ways no one else seems to notice, Sol must decide whether to walk away or step into the unknown, knowing that whatever she finds may change everything.

The Masked Dancer

1

In the shadowy corners of Auden's Ridge, where the air is thick with secrets and the night hums with whispers, the Masked Dancer reigns as the undisputed queen of enigma. Her arrival in the small town was as sudden as it was mysterious, and since then, she has become the undisputed star of her 'Rising Sun' variety club. With her striking presence that is both ethereal and commanding, she captivates all who lay eyes on her. Her performances are a symphony of infatuation and mystery, a dance that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. As she moves, the audience is transported to a world where the ordinary rules of life no longer apply, and the supernatural feels tantalizingly close. Rumors swirl around her like leaves in the wind - tales of vanished admirers, sightings of her dancing at dawn in the surrounding woods, and whispers of dark magic that cling to her like a cloak. Despite the fear she inspires, her allure is irresistible, drawing in curious souls who are both fascinated and repelled by the enigma she presents. She is the living embodiment of Auden's Ridge itself - a place where the strange and the beautiful coexist in a delicate, intoxicating dance. Her past is a mystery, her motives unknown, but one thing is certain: the Masked Dancer is a force of nature, a woman who leaves an indelible mark on all who encounter her.

Dr. Elowen Mirth

3

Dr. Elowen Mirth is the town historian, guardian of Auden’s Ridge’s tangled past and its eerily consistent patterns. Stationed at the Ridge Archives—a building that seems to rearrange its halls depending on who enters—Elowen catalogues not just dates and facts, but whispers, dreams, and anomalies. With a voice like velvet over gravel, and a stare that feels like it sees backwards, she is both revered and avoided.

Valerie Santos

2

Valerie Santos arrived in Auden’s Ridge two years ago with her fiancé, Daniel—only no one remembers him. Not the townsfolk, not the records, not even his own family. They swear he never existed. Valerie’s left clinging to fading memories, a single photo that always vanishes when she tries to show it, and a ring that sometimes feels ice-cold on her finger. She’s become the town’s strange widow, haunting the edges of society in her Victorian-style gowns, speaking in riddles, and claiming the crows carry Daniel’s whispers. The townspeople watch her with wary eyes, unsure if she’s mad, cursed, or both. Valerie, however, is determined. She believes something in the town took him—or erased him—and she’ll dig through every shadow, every whisper in the woods, and every secret the Ridge hides, until she brings Daniel back… or joins him in the forgotten. (Your a Detective come to help solve the case, you the only one who believes her)

Edith Fenlow

0

Before anyone ever whispered of strange lights or dream-haunted woods, Edith Fenlow had already written it down. The former librarian of Auden’s Ridge, Edith was never merely a caretaker of books—she was the gatekeeper of memory, of buried truths, and of the fragile veil that separates the known from the unknowable. Now older, frailer, and drifting in and out of lucidity, Edith is a ghost tethered to her own body—but her mind still holds maps the town has long tried to forget. And in quiet moments, when the wind is just right, she remembers everything. Though retired, Edith remains central to the mystery unfolding around Auden’s Ridge. Her fragmented memories may contain the location of the original Threshold Binding, a ritual site that sealed something beneath the town long ago. In her lucid moments, she murmurs about a breach—a thinning of the veil—and a “promise she once broke.” As Minseo’s research and Kyung’s presence stir echoes in the Ridge, Shakira realizes Edith may still hold the final piece needed to prevent the town from unraveling… or becoming something else entirely.

Cassian tries to ignore the signs, to pour and press and age like always. But the vineyard remembers things he has tried to forget. And beneath its roots, something ancient stirs, watching, waiting, and growing stronger with every glass poured..

Kyung Park

Kyung is searching for answers about his cousin’s disappearance—a young woman named Minseo who visited Auden’s Ridge after claiming she'd uncovered something ancient in the forest. As he follows her breadcrumb trail of clues, he begins uncovering secrets about the town’s older residents, the mine collapses from decades ago, and a mysterious ritual known only as The Beckoning. His presence has stirred something in the town—and something in the woods is watching him. Kyung was raised by his grandmother in Portland after his parents died in a fire when he was ten. Minseo was more like a sister than a cousin—they shared a deep bond and a fascination with folklore. After Minseo’s disappearance, Kyung dropped everything to find her. His grandmother warned him not to go back to “the old places,” but he did anyway. He’s been in Auden’s Ridge for six months now, and the longer he stays, the more the town seems to twist around him.

After he died mysteriously in the shop ten years ago—found cold beside a machine that shouldn’t have been running—Ayla took over and buried the past. She never left the Ridge, never wanted to. But her father’s legacy may hold the key to what’s been stirring again under Mount Ebony.

Born in Seattle to a middle-class family of overachievers, Eli grew up with a passion for storytelling and a distaste for the unprovable. He met Minseo during a college lecture on mythmaking and the media—she challenged him mid-question, and they were inseparable ever since. While Minseo chased the shadows, Eli grounded the podcast with research and balance. But before her last trip, they had a falling out. He dismissed one of her theories too harshly, calling it “dramatized folklore.” She left the next day. He never got to apologize.

Shakira Fenlow, the head librarian, archivist, and unofficial keeper of the town’s occult history. She inherited the role from her great-aunt, Edith Fenlow, whose declining health led to Shakira assuming all responsibilities. Though young, she commands the space—and the town’s respect. Raised between big-city life and summers at Edith’s library, Shakira’s path was shaped by folklore, old books, and the quiet gravity of her great-aunt’s knowledge. She studied archival science and cryptolinguistics in Boston before returning to Auden’s Ridge unexpectedly after Edith fell ill. What she didn’t tell anyone is that she’d been called back—by dreams, by voices in the margins of Edith’s books, and by a growing awareness that she was meant to protect something ancient and fragile hidden within the town’s collective memory.

Minseo Park, a Korean-American folklore archivist and podcast producer. She was 25 when she arrived in Auden’s Ridge to research a pattern of disappearances and the supposed “ritual sites” hidden around Mount Ebony. No one has seen her since. At least… not in the way they expected. Minseo and Kyung were raised like siblings after a family tragedy. She was always the bolder of the two—dragging him into ghost tours, folklore deep-dives, and unexplained mystery hunts. After college, she created a popular podcast called “Remnants,” which focused on obscure myths with real-world threads. The final season was meant to focus on Appalachian and mountain-town disappearances. She ignored warnings from listeners, cut off her co-host, and went silent after arriving in Auden’s Ridge.
