Welcome to Solaris, traveller! This is a slower-than-light science fantasy set in our own solar system.
About Solaris | Guide to Solaris | Prologue
CW: Violence toward a child
Content Warning:
This character is a child who someone tried to assassinate. She survives the attempt, but the neurotoxin damaged a lot of the muscles in her left side. It caused a neurodegenerative illness, similar to what can happen after a stroke or in a someone with cerebral palsy. It is implied that she is an orphan.
Svetluzca Morana is the emerging Keystone of Saturn. The young girl has already survived one assassination attempt, albeit not without scars. She is in the care of Merchant Prince Quo, who has invested greatly in her security.

Attempted Assassination

CW: Violence towards a child. Neurodegenerative Illness.   Svetluzca was being escorted to a new safehouse when she heard a loud snap. She shrugged it off, unaware that a potent neurotoxin had just been released into her ear. It was fast-acting. In less than a minute she fell to the ground convulsing. She was rushed to the hospital by her security detail. The hospital were able to save her life.   The neurotoxin damaged her brain and part of her spine. It caused the left side of her torso to become very tense. Her muscles spasm and constantly clench. It has been slowly getting worse. What started as a small hand always clenched into a fist is now an arm always curled up against her chest. She receives regular treatments to help loosen her muscles. Due to damages incurred while saving her life, Svetluzca has lost the ability to control the left side of her face, and is now deaf in her left ear.
  Despite her struggles, Svetluzca is a very patient and well behaved girl. She no longer asks about her parents, and enjoys colouring.

Colouring is a perfectly child-appropriate activity, even for a young keystone.

I wrote that line during a sprint and I was like "this is devastating, I have to use it."

Poor Svetluzca!!! D: "She no longer asks about her parents" OMG, everyone around her is evil! "She is in the care of Merchant Prince Quo" - do we have to understand that he practically (or actually) bought her from her parents??? D:

Good questions! Maybe some of those questions will be answered when we get around to article about Quo!

Wait why am I crying -   This article is such a great example of how to make compelling characters without writing thousands and thousands of words though (not that either is right or wrong, just that one is more difficult to pull off). I applaud your conciseness :)

May your worldbuilding hammer always fall true! Also, check out the world of the Skydwellers for lots of aerial adventures.

Thank you! It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to do character articles, but I think I'm finding my groove.
