Name: Liora Vance

Age: 32

Occupation: Investigative Journalist

Appearance: Liora has a striking presence—sharp cheekbones, intense green eyes that miss nothing, and a wardrobe of sleek, dark clothing that makes her seem untouchable. But her hands are always ink-stained from jotting down notes, and there’s often a stray curl escaping from her otherwise severe ponytail.

Personality:

Liora is razor-sharp in her intellect, relentless in pursuit of the truth, and unafraid to cut through lies with a single sentence. She has a reputation for being intimidating—her words precise, her gaze unflinching. However, beneath that hard edge is a heart that aches for the people whose stories she tells. She carries a notebook filled with the names of those she’s helped, and late at night, she rereads their stories, reminding herself why she fights.

She will eviscerate a corrupt official in print but quietly leave groceries at a struggling family’s doorstep. She speaks with an authority that makes others pause, but when she listens, she does so with a rare, undivided gentleness.

Conflict:

Liora struggles with the weight of what she uncovers—she knows the world needs sharpness to cut away its rot, but she fears losing the tenderness that keeps her human. She wonders if, one day, the sharp edges will be all that remain.
