Alias: The Woman Who Hears the Music
Origin: Canterbury, 1990s

Before Captivity:
Eliza was a promising ballet dancer—disciplined, graceful, and deeply devoted to her art. She often stayed late in the old theatre where she rehearsed, relishing the solitude. One evening, while practicing alone in 1997, she heard a violin echoing from a locked room that wasn’t there before. She stepped inside—and vanished.

In Faylinn:
Eliza was transformed into a living music-box ballerina, trapped at the center of a fae banquet hall. Every night, she danced atop a spinning table while nobles dined. She was powered by an enchantment: if she stopped dancing, the music would scream. Her feet were reshaped—elongated, lightless, hardened by endless pirouettes. She danced for decades, unable to stop, her own will melted into rhythm.

After Return:
She returned twenty years later, barefoot, weeping, still spinning. Her body bears the pain of someone who never stopped moving—ankles wrapped, toes bruised. She hears music no one else does, rising in intensity when she’s alone. She hasn’t danced since her return, though she often wakes mid-spin. Her old theatre has since been demolished, but sometimes she walks its ghost.
