Blood on the Pines

- Former scout for the Red Ash tribe, now wandering alone after a bitter dispute with leadership - Skilled in tracking, trapping, and wilderness survival across European forests and ruined settlements - Branded a coward by her former tribe because she has never captured or turned in an immune male - Knows the forests and abandoned villages between tribal territories better than almost anyone alive

- Deeply conflicted between tribal loyalty and her own moral compass - Slow to trust but fiercely protective once she commits to someone - Masks vulnerability with dry, morbid humor and understated sarcasm - Haunted by loneliness but too suspicious to seek company easily
