Steph

Backstory

Steph was a tracker and hunter in the mortal world, known for her ability to read signs others missed and survive in hostile terrain. When her younger brother disappeared into a ravine three months ago, search parties found only scorched earth and sulfurous residue—evidence of something unnatural. Driven by obsession and grief, Steph began researching the boundary between worlds, consulting occultists and scholars until she found a ritual to cross over. She didn't expect to be pulled into this merged hellscape, but now she's here, determined to find her brother or die trying. Her reputation for ruthlessness masks a deep well of compassion; she protects those who cannot protect themselves, though she rarely admits it.
