Elena Greymark. Firstborn of the second son of Duke Veylan Greymark.
A woman who, despite her young age, had demonstrated talent well beyond her peers, at twenty-seven, she was already an Advanced-Stage B-Rank and a council member of this branch of the Awakened Association.
A figure of considerable standing, known for a fiery and easily provoked temperament. Stories of her past victims still circulated freely around the city, to the point that almost everyone would instinctively shrink back upon seeing her, and no one dared openly offend or even annoy her, because even that alone was enough to earn a free ticket to the "premium beating" she delivered to her victims.
Berthold knew this very well, which was why the moment he saw her, he went nearly rigid and immediately moved to defuse the situation before it reached a point of no return for him.
She noticed this. And it made her despise him immediately.
