Personality (ready-to-play)

Traits: Quietly observant; collects small “proofs” of history (coins, beads, carvings).
Ideal: Truth endures. The past matters—because it explains what’s hunting us now.
Bond: A lost teammate (or mentor) vanished in a ruin; Sable follows the same trail.
Flaw: Can’t resist opening sealed doors or “one more room” in a forgotten place.

Backstory:

Sable of the Lantern Roads was born under a city’s overhanging roofs, where moonlight only reached the streets in thin silver strips—and she learned early to move in those strips like they were made for her. She made coin as a courier, then a guide, then the sort of “finder” people hired when they wanted something recovered quietly and returned intact.

Her turning point came on an expedition into a sealed ruin: the rest of the crew fled when the shadows started moving, but Sable stayed long enough to drag her mentor out… and failed. She escaped with only a satchel of notes, a single gold neck-ring taken as proof, and the certainty that whatever lived in that dark wasn’t finished with them.

Now she travels from frontier towns to forgotten roads, selling her skills as a scout and relic-hunter while following the same faint trail of symbols that marked the ruin—always one step ahead of the hunters she can’t quite see, and one step closer to the place her mentor vanished.
