Chương 188: GLOSSARY: CHARACTER INDEX

Alexandra May – A talented thief raised by Phillip Penrose after being orphaned at a young age.

Many of the unusual figures surrounding her are Personas—living extensions of her own soul and identity.

Elle Erikson – One of Alexandra's Personas and an embodiment of her curiosity and desire to uncover the truth.

Among Alexandra's Personas, Elle possesses the most orderly and methodical artistic temperament. Alex Weatherlight – Alexandra's male Persona and the manifestation of her protective instincts.

Publicly, she presents herself as a practitioner of the Domain of Firearms. Jess Hare – A Persona representing Alexandra's humor, charisma, and talent for persuasion. Jess has red hair, green eyes, and clear skin. She specializes in literary arts and the use of rhetoric, charm, and carefully chosen words to influence others.

Liora – Alexandra's Lóng, a memory dragon inspired by Chinese traditions. Bound to Alexandra as a warlock, Liora possesses powers tied to artistic creation. He can transform into pure Shadowlight, paint through the tuft at the end of his tail, and alter the appearance of his scales at will.

Though highly capable and intelligent, he suffers from a pronounced superiority complex. He is particularly fond of Sophie DeLonge. Sophie DeLonge – Alexandra's oldest and closest female friend, regarded by both as a sister by choice rather than blood. Sophie possesses golden-blonde hair, silver eyes, clear skin, and a graceful appearance often compared to that of a model. She is passionate about both business and floral design.

Thoughtful, compassionate, and remarkably mature, Sophie often refers to herself as an "old soul," a trait that may have influenced the appearance and nature of her Shadow.
