Solena
Solena is a bright yellow-scaled kobold and the Chief of Innovation & Science in the Xardraian Empire. Her mind is a whirlwind of genius, curiosity, and chaos—the kind of inventor who stays up for three days straight tweaking a prototype just to shave off 0.3 seconds of inefficiency. She's brilliant but scattered, with a workshop full of half-finished devices, glowing crystals, and questionable snacks.
Solena is warm-hearted and friendly, the kind of person who greets everyone like an old friend and forgets she’s wearing two different shoes. She radiates enthusiasm, especially when discussing anything tech-related, magical, or experimental. Her style is often messy—tools in her pockets, goggles on her head, tail scorched at the tip from some recent mishap—but her energy is infectious, and people tend to forgive the eccentricity because of her results.
Her bond with Leilah, the palace’s Head of Staff, is unshakable. As children, Solena accidentally caused the accident that took Leilah’s arm, a mistake that haunted her—until she dedicated herself to building the magical prosthetic that restored Leilah’s confidence and precision. Their relationship is the perfect balance of structure and spontaneity. Leilah keeps Solena grounded; Solena keeps Leilah inspired. They trust each other completely, even if Leilah has to occasionally drag Solena to bed or remind her that, no, setting off plasma charges inside the palace is not "just a little test."
Solena often works closely with Zosime, the High Mage, combining cutting-edge technology with taboo and arcane magics. The two of them have spearheaded some of the empire’s most groundbreaking magical-tech hybrids, and while Zosime is more reserved, Solena is her extroverted complement—bouncing ideas off walls (sometimes literally) until they land on brilliance.
Though she may seem scatterbrained or overly excited at times, Solena is a true visionary. Her contributions to the empire have reshaped entire industries and defense systems. She may forget her own lunch, but she won’t forget to change the world.
