I suppose I should introduce Mara.
Maraas Cantori is not my Rook, but shes the focus of my fanfiction for Veilguard and my favourite OC. She's Teias right hand and the Guildmaster/Spymaster for House Cantori. She lives at the Diamond to run it when Teias at home, with Viago, or on a job.
She's a mage and a Shapeshifter, her preferred form is a Raven. All her forms keep her silver eyes so the right people will recognise her.
She's in a relationship with Illario, and while it's very off and on before Veilguard, they do settle down afterwards and marry once Caterina passes - she greatly objects.
Her best friends are Heir and Teia, but she also includes Lucanis, Viago and Alessandra (Rook) as friends. She also has one older brother, Venak, who is a Mourn Watcher. She was separated from him when she was 2yrs old and was reunited thanks to the Veilguard when she was 32yrs old. It takes them a while to build their relationship again.
She is outwardly cold, ruthless, unrelenting, calculated, silent, intimidating. It is very hard to earn her trust, respect or friendship. She clawed her way to the top and is a Crow through and through. The only time she hesitates is if Illario, Heir or Teia are in trouble, and she will not unnecessarily harm animals, who are some of her best informants.
