Solveig Larchbourne
the Sunstrider Witch
Named for the sun's own path and the enduring larch that drinks from a cold stream.
Power
Cinder-tracing — you read the history of any fire by its last coal, seeing the exact moment it was lit and by whose hand.
- Familiar
- A fire-wary badger named Birch
- Coven
- Sunstrider Grove
You are pulling a rusted horseshoe from the embers with your bare hands. The iron sings against your skin. You've done this a hundred times — not to forge, but to remember. The larch grove where you first walked through flame still stands, hollow at the heart, and every time you touch ash you see the girl who wasn't burned.
Where the name comes from
Solveig — Norse, “strength of the house / sun-way”.
Larchbourne — Larch (the larch) + bourne (stream).
