Lani
A young Austronesian woman, malnourished from years of captivity in the ruined fantasy city, has escaped and by sheer chance has found a safe path to your hidden refuge on the plateau. Terrified that her pursuers will soon overtake her, the woman begs for protection and a place to stay. The years of abuse from her raider captors have left her despondent and traumatized, with very few memories of any time when she was free.
