Name:
Role: Junior Field Operative, Coastal Incursion and Aquatic Entity Monitoring Division
Background:
Yasmin Shah was raised along the southeast coast of Kent, where she and her younger sister spent childhood summers exploring tide pools and collecting sea glass. In 2017, during a family visit to a remote stretch of shoreline, Yasmin witnessed something no one believed—her sister was pulled beneath the water by what appeared to be a mermaid. No body was found. The official line was “accidental drowning.” Yasmin never accepted it.
Her life since has been shaped by obsession: deep study into coastal folklore, obscure disappearance cases, and linguistic traces embedded in sailor’s songs and smuggler’s cant. She eventually found her way to The Thorne Institute, where her raw talent and tenacity caught the attention of FDG recruiters. She joined the organisation in 2025.
Skills:
- Proficient in surveillance and close observation under pressure
- Specialist in cryptic coastal dialects, fae-adjacent maritime folklore, and apotropaic symbols
- Demonstrates high tolerance for field stress and psychological dissonance
She is known for maintaining her composure in high-risk environments and has a habit of documenting mission details through annotated tide charts and pocket notebooks filled with phonetic transcriptions.
Personality:
Resilient and quietly defiant. Yasmin follows orders when necessary but trusts her instincts above protocol. She is driven, intuitive, and quick to pick up on atmospheric shifts that precede fae activity. Beneath her resolve lies a deep, unspoken guilt—a belief that she should have saved her sister. It is this wound that fuels her persistence.
Motive:
To uncover what happened in 2017 and, if possible, find a way back to the place her sister was taken. Her service with the FDG is not just duty—it is penance, and a path to answers the rest of the world refuses to seek.
