Elanor Ashein

Background
Elanor hails from Vesona, a plane built by an oldwalker using a powerful artifact called The Looking Glass to create an illusion of a plane that became more real every day that passed. As Elanor was growing up, however, cracks began to appear in the world she lived in. The edges of the plane, and the difference between the shared illusion they called reality and other figments of the imagination, began to blur. Elanor aspired to become a Dreamcharter, one of the members of Vesonan society tasked with patrolling the edges of the city and expanding reality as far as it would go, but said aspirations were largely checked by her older brother, a high ranking government official who kept his sister as close to the center of the city, and thus anchored reality, as possible.

Eventually, Elanor would come to learn why, as she snuck into the capitol building one night. Deep inside the archives, beyond twisting halls and forgotten cabinets, was a secret kept from the general public: a plain white room that contained The Looking Glass which was cracked cleanly in half, broken by the Mending. Elanor panicked, knowing that this meant the world itself could vanish at any minute, before that panic became confusion, and then fear and rage: the only reason reality still existed, that the illusion still held, was that all of this was kept secret. If the public knew, the world would collapse in on itself, and so the secret had to be kept. But with every person that learned about it, first her brother and anyone he told, and now her, the world grew less and less stable. Her spark ignited in that moment as she left the plane, hoping to never return.

Always Blue
Five years later, Elanor returned to a plane that has steadily collapsed in her absence, and realized that no one else was capable of saving it. She set into motion a plan that would help strengthen the public's perception of reality, giving her time to work with as she tried to figure out what to do with the broken artifact and government conspirators.
