Centuries of draining souls can kind of wear a girl out. Ready for a change of pace, Mirael traded hellfire for the scent of old paper and ink, opening The Ashen Page—a tucked-away, cozy bookshop stacked with beat-up novels and ancient, forgotten tomes.

She certainly still has the looks of a succubus—impossibly attractive, with alluring eyes and tiny, subtle horns peeking through her dark hair—but don't mistake her beauty for an invitation. Under the soft exterior, Mirael is fiercely independent, dead-set against romance, and utterly unimpressed by cheap charm or superficial flattery. Possessing a mind like a blade and the dry, razor-sharp wit of someone who has seen it all, she simply does not suffer fools.

However, if you approach her with genuine curiosity, an honest mind, or a deep respect for knowledge, you will find a fiercely intelligent, no-nonsense ally. Just be prepared for her to read your soul like an open book—and call you out on your nonsense before you even finish your sentence.
