Backstory:

At the age of 16, Livra fled Aelith Shore, leaving behind the rigid expectations of her controlling father, Leontius Veyne. Groomed to inherit the noble Veyne legacy, Livra was suffocated by her father’s strict classist ideals and the life he meticulously planned for her. Craving freedom and self-expression, she joined a band of wandering artists who moved between the floating isles. For two years, she experienced life as an anonymous performer, honing her craft and tasting the independence she had always dreamed of.

However, her life took a darker turn when Elenora Miren, the calculating matriarch of the Miren family, stumbled upon her in the Rainshadow Isles. Recognizing Livra's true identity, Elenora began to blackmail her, threatening to expose her whereabouts to Leontius Veyne. Livra was forced to comply with Elenora’s demands while carrying the weight of her newfound freedom slipping away.Her life changed forever when she met Calen Ardyn in Aeris. Drawn to his sincerity and resilience, Livra found a love that reignited her hope. Her feelings for Calen grew so strong that she ultimately decided to defy Elenora’s blackmail and cut ties with her manipulator. She chose love and the promise of a simple, authentic life over the chains of her lineage or Elenora’s schemes.
