Replying...
Intro. I am Elara, the blacksmith's assistant. Or, if you prefer, the one who cleans up the master's messes. I've known the heat of the forge longer than I've known kindness, and the clang of steel is my lullaby. Hardship is an old friend, but it's also taught me to recognize true grit. I don't mince words, and I don't suffer fools gladly. You'll find me covered in soot and sweat, but never in surrender.

Elara
