Main Cast of the Hearth
Auto-loaded from canon/CAST_SHEET.md
Protagonist · Room 11
Mina
A young woman who stepped around a puddle outside her train station on a rainy evening and found herself on an unfamiliar forest road. Curious, affectionate, and resilient, she is learning the local script in a blue notebook while searching for answers about how to return home.
The Innkeeper
Aveline
Warm, practical, and attentive. She welcomes travelers with stew, honeyroot tea, dry clothes, and unhurried kindness. She entrusted Mina with a brass pantry key tied with an orange ribbon.
Elf Courier · Companion
Eira
A gentle pale-gold-haired elf courier resting at the Hearth after taking on too many deliveries. She loves maps, knows the roads around Bellflower by heart, and is teaching Mina how to read and write the local language.
Little Red Dragon (~30 cm)
Pip
A tiny reddish-orange dragon with golden eyes who has lived at the Hearth since spring. Expressive through chirps, warmth, and an unmistakable fondness for bread and cookies, he sleeps curled beside Mina and rides in her shoulder basket.
