Background:
Once, there were two twin siblings: Flor and Faun. Graced into the world nearly the same time, bears of their faces nearly identically, carries the same genetical condition, and yet followed diverging life paths.
Faun had always been an obedient child. Careful, composed, and painfully aware of what was allowed and what was not, she spent most of her youth trying to ensure she never stepped out of line. Rules were not obstacles to her, but a clear structure to follow. Something dependable in a world that often felt uncertain. Where others bent boundaries for convenience, Faun held herself rigidly within them, sometimes to her own detriment.
Of course, being simply a child, Faun was still shaped by her surroundings. She understood quickly that people praised compliance and restraint, and so she devoted herself entirely to becoming someone dependable. Responsible. Good. While her twin constantly tested the limits of the world around them, Faun instead learned to carry the burden left behind in the aftermath. If Flor was chaos, then she would become stability enough for the both of them.
That sense of duty eventually led her into the very same program meant to reform her sibling: training to become an officer of the law. But unlike Flor, Faun excelled within it naturally and rose ranks rather rapidly. Discipline came easily to her. Structure gave her purpose. Over the decades, she built a stable life for herself as a respected elven officer, Yet in a different sector and region to her family and twin. Though the work slowly consumed more and more of her time. Family visits became infrequent. Conversations with her twin even rarer. Yet Faun accepted this quietly as the price of responsibility.
Then came the day Flor was arrested for involvement in an illegal operation tied to the Thieves' Guild.
Faun had not seen them properly in years by then.
Despite everything; despite the disappointment, despite the frustration, despite the bitter sense that this outcome had been inevitable all along. She still visited. Still signed the paperwork. Still stood there in silence while Flor accepted their sentence without protest. And when the time came for their release, Faun volunteered herself as their parole officer before anyone else could be assigned the role.
Whether out of guilt, obligation, or some stubborn refusal to abandon her twin entirely, even she could not fully say.
And as if fate itself wished to test them both one final time, the world offered the siblings an unexpected chance: a place far removed from the lives they had ruined and rebuilt so many times before. Somewhere they could finally begin again.
