Marfikent, and Ms. Eta Centauri.
Lore under the cut!
For all those one might encounter in Lantern's Light, made selfish through either greed or necessity, Marfikent provides a welcome change. Though perhaps not as street savvy as some other locals, he's always happy to help out where he can, even if his help often requires introducing one to the city's welcoming nightlife (or, at least, whatever one could call such a wonderful flurry of expression in a city plagued by eternal night).
There, one is more likely to encounter the elegant and esteemed Ms. Eta Centauri, who- despite the carefully painted porcelain masks she wears more often than not- is anything but a silent companion. Sharp, outspoken, and with a ravenous mind, there's always a recognizable degree of awareness behind all that fun she seems to have. Catch the drag queen at the right moment, and she'll gladly engage in a riveting discussion over the politics across the city sects- catch her at the wrong moment, and she'll assure you that you simply must talk later.
Those who know better know that there's no one or the other when it comes to Marfikent or Eta- the dragon's passion is clearly no performance, dressed up or dressed down. But if it weren't for the way Marfikent so openly embraced herself, it may be a bit more obvious that the main bulk of Lantern's Light he now calls his home... hasn't always been that. After all, he has quite a lot to say about those out-of-touch aristocrats in Luminance, and certainly seems to know more about the area than most...
