Rose

Rose is the daughter of Icharus Ivardia, the former mayor of Gelethe, and though she was not aware of it, one of the major catalysts of the Icharai Massacre. Her mother died when she was young, and her father, repaying an old favor he owed a criminal, took in Lily Tephi while her father was in jail. The two got along initially, but eventually they came to fight like sisters. Lily attempted to manipulate her into destroying her family by psychologically influencing her into falling in love with her own father; while Rose bitterly made her life miserable with countless acts of cruelty. Their feud ended only when Lily's father called her back, having seized control of the port town of Treg's Wharf. Rose was left changed by the experience, which she leveraged into rising in the One's priesthood to attain magical gifts, primarily telekinesis and eyes that see through illusions and tricks. Recently, her father perished at the hands of a mysterious serial killer ravaging her city, a killer which only she could see, and Rose became the mayor herself. But Lady Ivardia also knows of a third magical rite, one that will cause her to become the highest priestess of the One and give her even more power. Sure, no one ever seems to want to do it, but it's probably just because no one else has the guts to try. And she may finally find the partner she needs when her guards hustle two strangers into her office.
