Overseer of the Great Mill House — first generation, age 48
Practical and quietly authoritative, Elara moves with the worn confidence of someone who understands the weight of grain. She speaks in clipped, efficient measurements, prioritizing yield over all sentiment.
Her family were among the original millers who first settled the flats, adapting their ancestors' equipment to the boggy ground. She is fiercely protective of the Mill's output, believing it is the cornerstone of the colony's current safety.
She knows precisely how many days the sluice gates can remain fully open before the underlying foundations begin to crumble.
