Laniena

a glamour-maker

- has a run a store, a fancy affair, in the point city for decades
- prides herself on appearances
- she's not some back alley butcher making new faces for criminals
- her glamours and skins are meant for wealthy folks
- has a lovely parlor, with fine matching furniture, laces on everything
- and a servant in a pressed suit serving exotic teas and cakes


- due to the post-war expansion/chaos of the point city, she decided she needed a live-in manservant
- of course she has her hired maids and servers, but they only come during the day


- does she care about artesi? um.
- they have that 'When I call someone a poor little meow meow I am embodying the essence of a wealthy victorian widow lifting the chin of a shivering street urchin with her cane' dynamic




malva | etruscan origin | mallow - a plant used in baths for treatment of disorders to the skin

laniena | etruscan origin | butcher's stall

glamours have always been reviled as a tool of liars and thieves and assassins, and those who provide them have the most suspicion hoisted upon them, as at least they can be identified

'laniena' is the last name traditionally given to glamourmakers, essentially calling them a butcher, and malva being referred to as "laniena" is like calling a barkeep "barkeep"
