Alain deVahl/Hooks
Legendary Durance: It's rumored that Alain's Durance lasted hundreds and hundreds of years... perhaps as long as a millennium.
Memory Loss: Alain's memory is broken. She can't remember anything about her pre-Durance life, and very little about her Durance itself. She is somewhat reluctant to go to the Hedge, as a result.
Oneiromancer: She's been known to use dreamweaving to 'inspire' others. It's widely known that she was part of the group that reached [the Shrouded]'s Bastion, and less widely known that it was her cunning pivot of tactics that turned the tide, and woke the Winter Crown.
High Society: Alain holds a number of influential positions, including presiding over a charity fund and sitting on the board of multiple influential organizations.
Gentrified Bearing: A diplomat, still, while bound in the servitude of her Durance, Alain's Mien is a little disturbing to some, hypnotic to others.
Government: Alain was once a Foreign Service Officer for the U.S. Department of State. While no longer a civil servant, she carries a not-unimpressive amount of clout in political quarters.
Critter Magnet: Animals love Alain. Hedge creatures lose their shit over her.
Hard to Read: As with glaciers, what's visible on the surface belies what's hidden in the depths.
