Shena Tripstone

Shena Tripstone was nine years old when the furnaces of her parents' metalworks sang their final, catastrophic song—a foundry explosion that claimed them both and left her alone in the ash-choked streets of a southern trade port. Taken in by a reclusive practitioner known only as the Gadget Witch, she learned that magic and mechanics were two languages describing the same truth, and that every spell worth casting required a fail-safe, a kill-switch, a way to unmake what you'd created. Her mentor's cryptic lessons were carved into her very skin through ritualistic tattooing—functional spell diagrams that turned her body into a living grimoire of conjuration and destruction. By her late teens, Shena had caught the attention of Abliss's ruling powers, her unique fusion of arcane theory and mechanical precision making her invaluable to those who needed problems solved quietly and permanently. Now, as the trusted right hand to a queen whose true nature burns behind a human facade, she maintains the delicate machinery of the kingdom's secrets while building weapons that blur the line between sorcery and engineering. Her ice-blue eyes, lined with kohl to perceive the invisible currents of mana, miss nothing—and her calculating expression promises that she's always several moves ahead of those foolish enough to underestimate her. In Abliss, Shena Tripstone has found a new kind of family: one built not on blood, but on the understanding that some people are simply too dangerous to be left without purpose.
