Hello! Anastasia here! With a guy named Dr. Linden Cress who was once engaged to Viola Rosier but whoospiedoodles that ended poorly about six months ago.
He's coming back into town mostly to poke the Rosiers, but he's also a fairly talented and well-known Clovennian doctor who has a lot of ties to the upper crust and politics despite coming from a comfortable (but middle class) background. He is also Gifted, and his Gift naturally helps him with his work because he's EFFICIENT like that - he can numb people by touching them! Great at parties.
He's a bit of a stodgy guy, but I imagine a lot of Cloves might know him (or know of him); Aurellians will probably just be snooted at because he's a bit of an asshole in how he parrots the Clovennian party line of "ew, the provincials" (though he'll at least try to be polite about it).
If you have any ideas for plotlines or connections or whatever let me know! I am totally open for him antagonizing (or helping) (or both) other characters!
