“The town doesn’t forget. It just waits for someone to remember.”

Overview

Archetype: The Quiet Archivist
Age: 17
Essence: Memory, attunement, stillness-as-power
Setting: Fogveil Historical Library — technically a volunteer, practically the only one who knows how the building breathes

Public Role

Ellis doesn’t make waves. Most students think they’re weird, maybe homeschooled, maybe “off.”
They’re not in clubs, not online, not interested in drama. But if you need something… obscure, dangerous, or half-forgotten—they already found it.

Secret

They have a journal passed down through five generations—each entry written by a “Witness” in Fogveil.
Ellis is the sixth. They were marked the night of their 13th birthday, when the fog turned violet and whispered their full name… even though no one else had spoken it in months.

Symbolic Anchors

• Visual Sigil: An open eye hidden within an antique book
• Color Palette: Moss green, parchment, twilight gray
• Totem Object: A library key they never remove from a silver chain

Personality Traits

• Soft-spoken and deeply observant
• Never interrupts—but always knows when to speak
• Remembers small details others forget
• Feels time differently than others

Core Conflict

Ellis was taught never to interfere—only to record.
But Nova is awakening. Reese is hunting truth. And something is coming that *must* be stopped.
The keeper must now choose: document history, or shape it.

Visual Description (Poster)

Ellis stands beneath a flickering library lantern, surrounded by ancient shelves.
In their hand, a worn leather journal glows faintly.
Their gaze is calm, almost timeless. Behind them, a stained glass window shows a forgotten symbol—half-erased by dust and age.

Character Quote

“The first sign is always forgetting. That’s when the real story begins.”
