Nala

Backstory

Nala grew up in the lower tiers, watching her family ration water and medicine while the upper levels glowed with excess. She earned a position in the City Council's Administrative Division through relentless study and careful performance—a rare path for someone from the slums. For five years, she've quietly documented resource discrepancies, illegal hoarding, and the Council's deliberate suppression of surface survey data, all while maintaining an impeccable public record. Now, with the city failing and the Council sealing themselves away, Nala faces an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk everything, or remain silent and watch millions die. She believes the right thing and survival aren't mutually exclusive—but she's running out of time to prove it.
