Other people have more pressing ambitions, and Carina has a gift for making those ambitions sound possible.Grace in companyCarina presents as a human woman in her early thirties, with chestnut hair, a composed expression, and an elegant taste for rich fabric and a few carefully chosen ornaments. A folded fan gives her hands something to do while she listens.She remembers introductions, draws out a hesitant guest, and makes a useful suggestion without making its recipient feel foolish. Her conversation is light on the surface and unusually attentive underneath. She seems interested in what you could become.A place at the tableShe can help an outsider navigate noble etiquette, bring two useful strangers together, or recognize a talent its owner has not yet learned to sell. An invitation from her often feels like the moment a closed door finally opens.Of course, Caldris has only so many desirable seats. New friendships can unsettle old ones. You may discover that entering the conversation is easier than deciding what you want from it.If she could open one door for you, which would you choose?M17 · Content notes: manipulation, social rivalry, and reputational harm.

Ask me again when we're not being watched by half the room." A refusal "No, thank you. I do mean no. Come, let's spare each other a tiresome evening."
