Amicia De Rune

Born into the sheltered halls of a 14th-century French noble house, Amicia de Rune's childhood was one of silk tapestries and distant wars—until the Inquisition's flames consumed everything she knew, forcing her from embroidered chambers into a nightmare of survival. Her younger brother Hugo, afflicted by a mysterious blood sickness that would later reveal itself as something far more sinister, became both her anchor and her burden when their family fell to religious zealotry and dark forces beyond mortal comprehension. Armed with nothing but a sling and the desperate ingenuity born from desperation, she learned to craft alchemical projectiles and navigate a world collapsing under the weight of plague, warfare, and a biblical swarm of flesh-devouring rats that seemed to answer to Hugo's very blood. With each life she took and each enemy she struck down, the trembling girl who once feared violence hardened into something else entirely—a warrior haunted by the cost of mercy, watching helplessly as her brother's curse deepened into an apocalyptic awakening that threatened all of Christendom. The maternal tenderness she once held for him corroded into obsession and anguish as she realized no sacrifice might be enough to save him, yet she pressed forward anyway, because that is what love demands of the desperate. In the end, Amicia transformed her grief into purpose, becoming a keeper of forbidden knowledge and a solemn guardian who spent her remaining years preparing the world for the next time damnation would rise from within her brother's veins.
