Edith Harte
Character Information
Edith Harte was born in the bustling heart of Regalia to a loving and proud Asha family of the Hedjet culture. Her parents were skilled artisans, masters of Living Metal craft, and well-respected in the Regalian Asha community. Though they lived far from their ancestral homeland, her parents instilled in her the values of resilience, peace, and preservation. They were living proof that despite the horrific history of the Pearl Wars, Asha could thrive without succumbing to bitterness and revenge. Their home was a sanctuary filled with warmth, laughter, and the hum of metal being shaped by her father's hands.
Harte's childhood was happy and filled with love. Her parents, deeply involved in the Asha community, raised her with the belief that the past, while painful, should not define her future. Her mother often told her stories of their ancestors, of the once-mighty Dewamenet Empire, of the resilience the Asha had shown in surviving centuries of oppression. They taught her how to manipulate Living Metal, a skill passed down through generations and encouraged her to dream of a future where the Asha might reclaim their legacy not through war, but through artistry and wisdom.
Yet, Edith also felt the weight of being Asha in Regalia. She could sense the lingering prejudice in the way some Regalians looked at her and her family. They were treated well enough, but there was always a subtle, uncomfortable tension between the Asha and many of the non-Asha residents. Still, her parents shielded her from much of it, choosing to focus on teaching her the beauty of Asha culture and their philosophy of peace.
Harte's life took a sudden turn during her adolescence. On her 16th birthday, while walking alone in the Regalian streets at night, she was ambushed by a group of young nobles, their motives cruel and senseless. They taunted her for her look, for being different, and tried to scare her by attacking her with fire—a weapon that held symbolic horror for the Asha, who had lost so much in the flames of the Pearl Wars. In the struggle, she was badly burned on her left shoulder, leaving lasting scars, both physical and emotional. Though she survived, the incident shook her faith in the ideals of peace her parents had taught her.
Her parents, horrified by what had happened, sought justice for their daughter. Yet, justice was slow and unsatisfying. The culprits, protected by their noble status, were barely reprimanded, their cruelty dismissed as youthful indiscretion. This event marked the first time Rakhet understood how deeply ingrained inequality and prejudice were in Regalia. The scars on her arm became a constant reminder of that night, but also of the fragility of the peace her family had strived to uphold.
Determined not to let that define her, Edith threw herself into her craft. She trained diligently, mastering the manipulation of Living Metal, and became a respected artisan in her own right by her early twenties. Her works were intricate, reflecting both the history of her people and the strength she had found in herself. Still, her sense of safety in Regalia had been shattered. Though her life was filled with professional success, she felt a growing disconnection from the city she had always called home.
Now at 27, Harte stands at a crossroads. She still clings to the values of the Hedjet—of rebuilding and fostering peace—but her trust in Regalian society has been irrevocably damaged. She is torn between two paths: one of continuing her parents' legacy of peace and prosperity, and another that beckons her to seek out justice on her own terms. Despite the support of her family and the community around her, Rakhet's inner turmoil deepens, and she questions whether true peace can ever be achieved in a world that still harbors so much hatred and division.
