🧬 History

🩸 1935–1950: Orphaned in Fire

• Born during the Spanish Civil War, orphaned when her parents were executed by fascist forces.
• Raised by the Real Oratorio del Caballero de Gracia, where she experienced her first vision of angels at age 9.
• Awakened in 1950 when occultists attacked the orphanage. After being shot and miraculously healed, she sang a hymn that broke their will—a spontaneous display of divine magick. This event attracted Father Alejandro, who inducted her into the Celestial ChorusCharacters Draft.

✨ 1950–1970s: Warrior of Faith

• Became an exorcist and battlefield healer during occult conflicts across postwar Europe and the Americas.
• Joined the Mages of Madison in 1958, negotiating the secret renewal of the Gahara Pact alongside Glory of the MorningMadtown World of Darkne….
• Led the spiritual protection of the Capitol Node, warding it against entropy, despair, and Nephandi infiltration.

🕊️ 1970s–1984: Spiritual Anchor, Political Hardliner

• As the Chorus’ leader, Lea became the guardian of belief-based barriers, pushing back against Disparate and Technocratic influence.
• Grew increasingly wary of the New Agers, especially Lacy Z. Rivere’s open-border ideology.
• Secretly began investigating strange gaps in her own memory and behavior, but lacked the clarity to confront it fullyCharacters Draft.

🔥 1985: The Dual Soul Emerges

As the chronicle opens, it is revealed to the Council that Lea suffers from a split personality:

• Her second self, Alexa, is a hidden persona forged by Nameless influence during her Awakening.
• While Lea remains the city’s strongest moral voice, Alexa seeks to quietly unravel the Gahara Pact, manipulate Hunter factions, and prepare for the Node’s collapseCharacters Draft.

🎭 Starting Game Conflict

At the opening of the game:

• The Mage Council receives evidence that Lea may be compromised.
• A Mind scan or Prime resonance reading reveals memory inconsistencies and possible split consciousness.
• The Council must vote:
  • Suppress the information, hoping Lea can control it.
  • Place Lea under watch or exile.
  • Attempt a metaphysical purge, risking destabilizing her completely and unleashing Alexa.

Lea herself does not remember Alexa’s actions—only feelings of dread, lost time, and prophetic dreams filled with entropy sigils.

✨ Paradigm: Divine Order Amid Earthly Chaos

Core Belief

Magick is a gift from the Divine. All things are part of a sacred plan. Chaos is the absence of faith. Reality falters when belief wavers. Salvation is found not in raw will, but in harmony with the Celestial Symphony.
