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.

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 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.
