ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00152/EC_02] A coastal Asahan community held to be of Toba Batak origin, to which the Aek Tarum image tradition may belong; a documented lowland-Batak sub-community sitting at the coast-highland seam, useful as an NPC-community texture between the Palembang port world and the Toba interior.
portrayal_note: A living-descended community, rendered as it understands itself; protected collective, never routed as antagonist.

Empu Pradah (Ratu Pande) (bali)
status: proposed · entity_kind: persona_npc · regions: bali
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00157/EC_12] The fire-born sage-smith proclaimed first head of the Pande clan and its sole object of worship; in the calonarang he is the holy man who sends Bahula to steal Rangda's magic book and then turns her own black magic against her to restore balance.
portrayal_note: A trade-master / school-founder figure grounded in the Pande's own lontar (Prasasti Sira Pande Empu); the anti-Brahmana, fire-and-red iconography seeds the Blacksmithing school.
Twalen & Merdah / Delem & Sangut (the panasar) (bali)
status: proposed · entity_kind: persona_npc · regions: bali
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00157/EC_14] The four clown-servants of the shadow-play who translate the Kawi and supply the comedy — Twalen the symbol of wisdom and openheartedness with sly son Merdah on the heroes' side; boastful cowardly Delem and the opportunist Sangut on the villains'. 'Like Sangut' is a living Balinese insult.
portrayal_note: Ready NPC persona-archetypes and the wayang minigame's voice-cast; the translators are Balinese additions absent from the Indic originals.
[EXR_SRC_00158/EC_06] Persona substrate for the chapter's datu-figures (Datu Siahaan CHAR_0031, apprentice Siddarta Sinaga CHAR_0032, and the legitimate datu register): medicine-man, priest, magician, and soothsayer in one person, sometimes also the raja of the huta; the office is hereditary and male-dominated, believed of divine origin and hedged with rules, sacrifices, and taboos; the datu is one of the few who leaves the village and journeys around the island; he keeps his pustaha as a private notebook and dictates hadatuhon (his whole body of magical knowledge) to his pupils.
CARE FLAG: The datu-office is honored; only the individual Siahaan is corrupt.
portrayal_note: The 'travels the island' trait grounds why a datu could reach the strait-brokerage (Siahaan's worldly reach) without inventing canon; the hereditary-master/pupil relation grounds the Siddarta companion arc.
[EXR_SRC_00158/EC_07] The book names a bamboo divination tool carrying a story about deities and the Sumatran hero Sisingamangaraja XII — the line of Batak priest-kings, its last a revered Indonesian national resistance figure. A candidate referenced hero-figure of Batak legend, reachable in play only as a forward time-fluctuation glimpse (his era is the colonial period).
CARE FLAG: Elevated care: a real revered figure; keep to legend-reference, never cast as antagonist.
portrayal_note: REVERED REAL FIGURE — hero or teacher-ally only, NEVER a villain and never a deity-name on a mortal NPC; reference-register, and only via a forward stratum since his era postdates the 1200 CE present.
citations: [EXR_SRC_00158] p.167 (fn 15)
the tu'a teno (ritual leader of a named field/lingko) (manggarai)
[EXR_SRC_00203/EC_08] The customary ritual-and-land authority of a single named lingko field — the one who reads the land's signs (the spider on the lodok), decides when a field must be planted 'in case the land should cry', and holds the field's agricultural rituals. Paired in the source with the tu'a adat (village ritual leader, e.g. Ame Dorus of Wae Rebo) who governs the agama/adat boundary for the whole community.
CARE FLAG: Living-culture role; benevolent land-authority, never routed as antagonist.
portrayal_note: A grounded persona substrate for the CH_03 Manggarai land-authority cast (region page already carries tua golo / tua teno). Proposes NO name — feeds the Character_Index persona lane as documented-role substrate for the existing Elder Tuan Bernardus tier. Benevolent knowledge-holder, never a target.
citations: [EXR_SRC_00203] p. 281 (the tu'a teno, ritual leader of a particular named field/lingko, reads the spider-sign; fields should be regularly planted 'in case the land should cry'); [EXR_SRC_00203] p. 277-278 (Ame Dorus, tu'a adat of Wae Rebo, the ritual leader who governs the agama/adat separation)
'Ata madi, the oath-reciting ritual specialist (flores indonesia)
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00230/EC_02] The specialist who recites the boundary-oath and administers the soil-eating ordeal, witnessed by both parties, invoking the mother-land to witness and to curse the false. A neutral procedural-authority persona who runs the game's ordeal/oath encounters.
portrayal_note: A benevolent keeper of procedure and truth, distinct from the malevolent twisted-word sorcerer; the ordeal is the tradition's own justice, not a horror.
citations: [EXR_SRC_00230] p. 216; [EXR_SRC_00230] p. 217
Tuka timba mata dasi, the balance-judge (the measurer and his device) (flores indonesia)
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00230/EC_05] The impartial adjudicator summoned from a neutral third village, whose title and instrument are a long balance-bar with a sliding counterweight; 'a judge is one who acts as a measurer.' A recurring persona/role that gates and scores the judgment minigame.
portrayal_note: A respected neutral office of living adat law; portray as dignified jurisprudence, never comic; the balance is a real steelyard-type scale, not a mystical prop.
citations: [EXR_SRC_00230] p. 220; [EXR_SRC_00230] p. 221; [EXR_SRC_00230] p. 235 (endnote 14)
Dewi Danu (Goddess of the Lake) (bali)
status: proposed · entity_kind: deity · regions: bali
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00251/EC_03] Goddess of the crater lake Batur, 'keeper of the irrigation waters' who makes the rivers flow; foremost of the 45 deities of Pura Ulun Danu Batur, whose priesthood is said to be chosen by the gods. The divine source of the water every subak depends on.
portrayal_note: Real, portrayable, usable benevolent deity (honor good deities); a strong disguised-benefactor / quest-giver candidate. Never a deity-name on an ordinary mortal NPC.
deity_portrayable_note: Real, portrayable, usable benevolent deity (honor good deities); a strong disguised-benefactor / quest-giver candidate. Never a deity-name on an ordinary mortal NPC.
citations: [EXR_SRC_00251] p. II-2 (irrigation water is the gift of Dewi Danu); [EXR_SRC_00251] p. II-19/II-20 (45 deities, Goddess of the Lake foremost; priesthood selected by the gods)
Dewi Sri (Rice Goddess) (bali)
status: proposed · entity_kind: deity · regions: bali
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00251/EC_04] The Rice Goddess honored at every field-inlet shrine and rice-barn; the cili/nini harvest image is made in her likeness and the ani-ani blade is used so she is honored 'at the time of her sacrifice'.
portrayal_note: Real, portrayable, usable good deity; the register is living agrarian devotion, rendered with care.
deity_portrayable_note: Real, portrayable, usable good deity; the register is living agrarian devotion, rendered with care.

Ida Sesuhunan Petali (the Forest God) (bali)
status: proposed · entity_kind: deity · regions: bali
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00251/EC_05] The god of Petali, chief minister to the god of Mount Batukaru and the deity of the forest-field connection; the dossier notes this forest deity 'appears to be unique in Bali's western mountain temples; he is not recognized elsewhere' — a distinctive, place-specific persona candidate.
portrayal_note: Real local deity; usable as a minor benefactor tied to the forest-catchment that feeds the subaks (the forest/field connection). No mortal-NPC deity-naming.

Ida Batara Tengahing ring Segara (the Sea God of pestilence) (bali)
status: proposed · entity_kind: deity · regions: bali
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00251/EC_07] Sea god associated with seasonal pestilence, worshipped at Peti Tenget and via a way-station shrine at Taman Ayun; his rites connect to nangluk merana, the king-led coordinated pest-control (fallow) ritual.
portrayal_note: Real deity of the sea/pest cycle; substrate for the pest-control immersion and the sea-as-dissolution water symbolism. No mortal-NPC deity-naming.
deity_portrayable_note: Real deity of the sea/pest cycle; substrate for the pest-control immersion and the sea-as-dissolution water symbolism. No mortal-NPC deity-naming.

[EXR_SRC_00322/EC_02] A Khmer traditional healer expert in treating spirit-afflictions and bodily illness by gathering herbs in the forest, boiling them, and prescribing a timed multi-day regimen; consulted across the Khmer-Cham line and one node in the region's layered healing economy.
CARE FLAG: standard; the forest-herbalism is real living materia, portray with competence.
portrayal_note: Author un-named/fictional instance at persona layer; a respected craft-healer, never a charlatan foil to biomedicine — the book shows every path (medium, kru khmer, hospital) as partial and honestly tried.
citations: [EXR_SRC_00322] p. 248
The On g'nur (Cham religious-political leader) (angkor khmer)
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00322/EC_03] The main religious-political leader of a Cham community — here a conservative voice who mourns the 'mahandori' (Khmer Rouge destruction) as the loss of the 'true' ritual and 'Cham civilisation and high culture', dismissing the revived cult as theatre; a figure of authority contested from within by the mediums.
CARE FLAG: ELEVATED: real living religious authority; do not caricature; the intra-community contest is real and respectful on both sides.
portrayal_note: Author a fictional un-named instance (a real living title, never a named real person; never a revered leader cast as villain). A legitimate internal-authority voice, not an antagonist — the tension is intra-community, handled with dignity.
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_00322/EC_04] Predominantly female (some male, some children) initiated mediums who are possessed by and speak for the cay spirits, sing the pi cay, diagnose sorcery and illness by reading a sufferer's family lines, and negotiate the spirits' demands; recruited historically from aristocrat-warrior lines, now increasingly from riess commoners. Faithful members of the Muslim congregation even as they serve the royal spirits.
CARE FLAG: ELEVATED: living practitioners; handle gender-role and caste-memory content as lived reality, not exotica.
portrayal_note: A 'transgendered' cult (Morris's 'gender twice over') — render the mediums with the dignity the book insists on; their standing is socially ambiguous but they are faithful congregants, not marginal deviants.
citations: [EXR_SRC_00322] p. 245; [EXR_SRC_00322] p. 251; [EXR_SRC_00322] p. 252
The Duumvirate Creator (Mori Kraeng / Du'a Nggae / Ama Lero Wulan Reta / Rera Wulan Tana Ekan) (flores indonesia)
[EXR_SRC_00469/EC_09] The one Supreme Being of each Flores people, named as a sky-father-and-earth-mother pair and held to be the single origin of all life, creator of the visible and invisible, superior to every evil spirit — Mori Kraeng / Ame Eta Ine Wa (Manggarai), Dewa Zeta Ga'e Zale / Dewa Meze (Ngada, Nagekeo), Du'a Nggae (Ende, Lio), Ama Lero Wulan Reta (Sikka), Rera Wulan Tana Ekan (Lamaholot). Believed to act through good-spirit messengers rather than directly.
CARE FLAG: Deity-name-on-a-mortal firewall is absolute; render the living faith with weight.
portrayal_note: A REAL, portrayable GOOD creator (deities-are-real ruling): usable as a benevolent power that acts through its naga/darat/nitu messengers, or a disguised quest-giver / rescuer. HARD LIMIT: never put this deity-name on a mortal NPC — Mama Klara and the human cast must NOT be named Mori Kraeng / Du'a Nggae etc. The sky-earth dyad is the region's honest divine seat, shown never as thesis.

citations: [EXR_SRC_00469] [p. 95-96] the Supreme Being as the Duumvirate Sky-Father + Earth-Mother, single origin of all life, creator of good and evil spirits alike; [EXR_SRC_00469] [p. 98-99] superior to all evil spirits but acts through good-spirit messengers via diviners, not directly
[EXR_SRC_00483/EC_02] The Lio traditional/informal leadership authority (paired against the formal village-head/government) — the figure whose permission gates access to a Lio village and its customary knowledge, and who articulates cultural definitions (a mosalaki gives the atabhisa etymology in the book). A ready NPC archetype for the CH_02 Lio central-highland villages: the elder gatekeeper the player must satisfy before the community opens.
portrayal_note: Protected community leader, never a target; the Lio/Ende counterpart to the Manggarai tua golo/tua teno land-authorities already in the region page (Section 8).
citations: [EXR_SRC_00483] p. 3; [EXR_SRC_00483] p. 4; [EXR_SRC_00483] p. 6

[EXR_SRC_01845/EC_05] A warrior-harper whose music both cheers armies and, at its height, shouts prophecy that breaks enemy hosts; his 'inspiration' waxes and wanes and is the party's only compass toward Carcassonne - clear when it burns, lost when it fails, dwindling with his age.
portrayal_note: A companion-persona candidate for the unreachable-city questline: a guide whose reliability is a living, failing thing. Invented literary character.
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_01845/EC_06] A weird tribe that descends from mountain peaks once every seven years from a land beyond a secret pass: they dance desert-taught dances, play horns of barbed-horned beasts unknown to the river, greet the deadly giant lythra as a brother, and their children draw live fish and snakes from their turbans.
CARE FLAG: Exoticized 'weird tribe' framing; recast as an invented dream-people, not a real ethnicity.
portrayal_note: An invented dreamland faction/persona for a finale port-node (uncanny visitors). Frame purely as literary invention; do NOT map onto any real nomadic or Romani people, and watch the source's 'weird dark tribe' exoticism.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01845] Idle Days on the Yann
The Slave of Orion (also styled Magister Mercurii / the Count of the Mountain / the Professor of the Chair of Magic at Saragossa) (fairy literary)
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_01846/EC_01] A literary enchanter-archetype: a robed, hawk-nosed astral magician who lives alone on a black precipice, keeps a screaming bell and an ancient ageless butler, holds scrying-windows onto past and future wars, and sends spirits on flights to the Sun and to tiny hidden worlds; a compulsive collector who will not stop displaying his art. He can turn hostile when his working is broken.
portrayal_note: A fictional literary sorcerer, freely usable as an endgame enchanter NPC or optional boss. Not a deity and not a real historical figure - no care constraint beyond keeping him an invented character. His magic reads mathematical/astronomical/substrate ('learned to adapt light at Saragossa'), which sits cleanly inside the vril-as-altered-physics frame and away from any race-mystical register.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01846] The Third Chronicle: How He Came to the House of Wonder; [EXR_SRC_01846] The Fourth Chronicle: How He Came to the Mountains of the Sun
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_01846/EC_02] A literary greenwood-king archetype: an outlaw lord in an old leather jacket with clear blue eyes who cannot be found on demand ('he is nowhere when he does not wish to be seen'), keeps his word without exception, commands a hundred green bowmen by a horn, forbids harm to his sacred forest, and can raise a castle from the woods as a gift. Steps from shadows unannounced; buried in secret in the forest's deeps.
portrayal_note: An invented literary figure - a benevolent-but-fearsome forest guardian, ideal as a fairy-finale realm patron/quest-giver. No real-culture or deity constraint.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01846] The Fifth Chronicle: How He Rode in the Twilight and Saw Serafina; [EXR_SRC_01846] The Tenth Chronicle; [EXR_SRC_01846] The Twelfth Chronicle
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_01846/EC_04] A comic-loyal companion archetype: a rotund, blunt, hungry, superstitious ex-inn-servant whose weapon is a frying-pan, whose simple philosophy repeatedly proves shrewd, and whose devotion to protecting his master overrides the rules of chivalry (he clubs duel-opponents from behind). Improvises a spell-breaking cross from his frying-pan handle and a scabbard.
portrayal_note: Invented literary companion; a template for a low-born, food-obsessed, fiercely-loyal traveling companion whose 'wrong' interventions save the player. No care constraint.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01846] The Second Chronicle; [EXR_SRC_01846] The Fourth Chronicle; [EXR_SRC_01846] The Sixth Chronicle
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_01847/EC_06] Veiled, hooded, wholly black-cloaked magicians, deputy-magicians and an arch-wizard of a black-cathedral lamaserai, whispering incantations to an unnamed Whom; the terror of their valley until Laughter enters the Gate of the Doom and scatters them wailing.
portrayal_note: Dunsany's invention; a dread-cult whose menace is deliberately hollow — the encounter's point is that reverence is the trap and irreverence the key.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01847] How the Enemy Came to Thlunrana [f31]
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_01847/EC_09] A salt-whitened, golden-ear-ringed mariner who works the Sargasso Sea, the last pirate alive, forbidden death because he has sinned too deeply on the Spanish seas; his gaze is always on the farthest things.
portrayal_note: Human persona; an undying quest-giver defined by death withheld as punishment — mature weight, no defanging.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01847] The Man With the Golden Ear-rings [f22]
ADVISORY lane mismatch (audit resolves): owner_lane phase3_stream vs cross-pipeline registry T0_Character_Index
[EXR_SRC_01904/EC_03] A consecrated healer who runs a Balm Yard: takes in the afflicted, prescribes fasting and salt cleansing, brews herbal balms, and 'commands the infirmities of the nations.' A questgiver, teacher, and potential companion-healer archetype.
CARE FLAG: Living tradition; represent with dignity.
portrayal_note: Honor as a genuine community healer with real skill and standing; not a charlatan and not a caricature.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01904] p. 13; [EXR_SRC_01904] p. 10

[EXR_SRC_01904/EC_05] A predatory sorcerer-for-hire who curses households, extorts families, and preys on the vulnerable; a killable/exposable individual antagonist.
CARE FLAG: §17.1 collective protection: route villainy through the individual only.
portrayal_note: An individual criminal exploiting real belief, never a stand-in for the practice or the people; the practice itself stays represented-with-care.

[EXR_SRC_01905/EC_05] A governor of Thanh-Hoa (~time of Christ) venerated for teaching wet-rice culture and laying out the canals and flooded plots still used 2,000 years on; temples honor him as a culture-hero whose 'spirit can help those who worship him'.
CARE FLAG: Revered real-adjacent historical figure; honor-only, never villain.
portrayal_note: A revered (real-adjacent) benefactor figure — honor as a culture-hero / veneration-temple quest-giver, never cast as villain; his canal engineering is a civilizational mark.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01905] [p. 82] (Nham-Dien, governor of Thanh-Hoa, taught wet-rice culture and laid out canals/plots; temples built in his memory); [EXR_SRC_01905] [p. 80-81] (veneration of benefactors as a class)
Venerated Vietnamese Benefactors (the Trung Sisters, Marshal Le-Van-Duyet, the craft-founders) (vietnam)
[EXR_SRC_01905/EC_06] A class of honored heroes and craft-founders with dedicated veneration temples: the Trung Sisters and Marshal Le-Van-Duyet (whose Saigon temple opens the book), plus the bonze-physician who founded medicine, Khong-Lo (copper-working, ~1250), the goldsmith brothers, the coinage-maker, the mat-maker, the silk-and-soybean ambassador, and Luong-The-Vinh (mathematics/abacus, ~1700).
CARE FLAG: Real revered figures; honor-only, never villain.

[EXR_SRC_01905/EC_08] The legendary patron 'saint' of Chinese-derived astrology, reputed to see past, present, and future; stands behind the geomancer, physiognomist, and horoscope-caster professions and the 53-volume So-Ly Tinh-Uan and the Tu-Vi star system.
portrayal_note: A legendary craft-patron figure grounding the astrologer/matchmaker minigame and its practitioner-school; portray as in-world lore, not endorsed prediction.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01905] [p. 72] (Quy Coc Tien Sinh, patron of Chinese astrology; the So-Ly Tinh-Uan 53-volume set; the Tu-Vi star system ~1000 AD; geomancer/physiognomist/sorcerer/astrologer roles)

[EXR_SRC_01906/EC_02] Ecstatic castrated priests of the Great Mother who process to cymbal and tympanum, lash and gash themselves in religious frenzy until the ground is wet. A vivid NPC-faction/persona set for the Rome cult-quarter: begging-processions, oracle-for-hire, and a hard-edged devotion the player can respect, exploit, or run afoul of.
CARE FLAG: Self-harm depicted with care; frame as authentic devotion within a historical cult.
portrayal_note: Mature (R-17) subject handled with weight, not spectacle-for-shock; they are devout, not clowns.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01906] City of God II.7 (and footnote on the Galli), [p. 26-27]; [EXR_SRC_01906] City of God VII.24, [p. 136-137]
Teresa of Avila (contemplative teacher/lore persona, candidate) (esoteric)
[EXR_SRC_01909/EC_02] Low-confidence persona candidate: a revered 16th-c. Spanish mystic quoted extensively as the 'expert of experts' on the orison of union and ecstatic states. Usable ONLY as a teacher/quest-giver/lore-echo in a Catholic-mystic region, never a combatant or antagonist.
CARE FLAG: §17.1 real-revered-person guardrail; do-not-invent placement — flag for Josh before any canon use.
portrayal_note: Real, revered religious figure. HARD care line: never cast as a villain and never used as a deity-name on a mortal NPC. Appears (if at all) as an honored teacher or historical echo. Verify against chapter/era assignment before any use — this book is a psychology source, not an authority for placing her in canon.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01909] [p. 4] Lecture I quotation from Saint Teresa; [EXR_SRC_01909] [p. 388]-[p. 389] the orison of union; 'Saint Teresa is the expert of experts'
Al-Ghazali (Persian Sufi teacher/lore persona, candidate) (esoteric)
[EXR_SRC_01909/EC_03] Low-confidence persona candidate: the 11th-c. Persian theologian whose autobiography narrates leaving Baghdad, wealth, and fame to seek the Sufi transport — a ready-made teacher/quest-giver arc (the renunciation-then-illumination path) for a Persian/Sufi region.
CARE FLAG: §17.1 real-revered-person guardrail; do-not-invent placement — flag for Josh before any canon use.
portrayal_note: Real, revered religious/intellectual figure. Never a villain; usable as a teacher of the poverty/asceticism discipline and the transport. Verify era/chapter placement before canon use.
citations: [EXR_SRC_01909] [p. 394]-[p. 395] Al-Ghazali quits Baghdad, distributes his fortune, and seeks the Sufi transport; [EXR_SRC_01909] [p. 396] 'the transport ... is like an immediate perception, as if one touched the objects with one's hand'
[EXR_SRC_01910/EC_02] A composite archetype: the village wise-woman whose kitchen and herbs can nourish, heal, or poison — the triad 'nutrire, guarire, avvelenare.' She sits on the faultline where a healer becomes an accused witch. A persona for witch_lore SQ content and the herbalism/alchemy trade.
CARE FLAG: Witch-persecution; collective care.
portrayal_note: She is a victim of the witch-hunt apparatus, never framed as deserving persecution; her collective (cunning women / healers) is not villainized. Her poisons make her dangerous as an individual (the player may fear or hire her), but the community-as-a-whole is protected per collective-care.

[EXR_SRC_01910/EC_03] A composite archetype (inspired by, not identical to, real nun-composers): a woman sealed in a convent who writes and prints polyphony under a humble, self-effacing preface, eluding censorship 'to the letter' while keeping its substance. A quest-giver and ally figure for convent side-content.
CARE FLAG: Real revered persons underlie the archetype; honor, do not villainize.
portrayal_note: A composite, not a named real person. The real composers she draws on (Isabella Leonarda, Lucrezia Vizzana, Barbara Strozzi) are revered figures recorded under civilizational_marks; do not cast any of them as a villain or attach their name to an invented antagonist.
