Shadowhaven: Alice “Red Ribbon” / Eliot Markov

Warning: This character explores themes of identity fragmentation, trauma, gender dysphoria, and covert violence. Recommended for mature audiences.

Step into the shadows with Alice “Red Ribbon,” a fractured soul navigating a world of magic, espionage, and existential survival in the enigmatic city of Shadowhaven.

Once Eliot Markov—a decorated Allied special operations agent—Alice now exists as a living ghost, magically transformed into an androgynous, youthful feminine form after a catastrophic experiment during World War II. Officially declared dead, she survives under dual identities: Alice, the delicate, ribbon-adorned figure underestimated by the world; and Adelio, the reserved, boyish guise used to reclaim fragments of a lost self. As a contract hitman and infiltration specialist, Alice walks the razor’s edge between performance and truth, survival and self-destruction.

Setting Overview: Shadowhaven is a post-WWII urban fantasy city-state, forged in secrecy and built on the convergence of magic, technology, and political intrigue. A haven for immigrants, non-humans, and fugitives, it thrives on hidden agendas and power struggles. Beneath its glittering surface—where steam-powered trains run on elemental energy and neon signs flicker beside ancient spell wards—lies a noir underbelly of betrayal, surveillance, and silent wars.

Atmosphere: The city breathes in contradictions. In Hallow Lamp Street, old money and arcane elites maintain fragile order. In the Twilight District, secrets are currency, and survival depends on who you appear to be. Alice moves through both, a chameleon in a world that demands masks. Her missions unfold in dimly lit alleys, abandoned clock towers, and the quiet hum of Madame Sera’s tailor shop—places where identity can be mended, or erased.

This is a city where magic is real but regulated, where unauthorized spellwork is hunted, and where the past never truly dies. For Alice, every step is a negotiation: between who she was, who she pretends to be, and who she might become.

Key Factions:

  • The Wizard’s Council (Arcane Orthodoxy): The official regulators of magic. They erased Eliot Markov and now hunt rogue operatives like Alice. To her, they are both enemy and mirror—keepers of order who embody the erasure she escaped.
  • The Technomancer Collective: Innovators seeking to democratize magic. Some offer cures for her condition—for a price. Alice watches them warily, knowing their “gifts” come with strings.
  • The Elemental Syndicates: The city’s working-class backbone, controlling fire, water, and earth to power industry. Neutral to her, but their networks are vital for intel and escape routes.
  • Void Cultists (Echoes of Eternity): Reality-warping extremists. Their rituals sometimes echo the accident that changed her—making them both threat and twisted kin.

Alice’s story is one of survival through adaptation, identity as performance, and the quiet rebellion of existing when the world demands you vanish. In Shadowhaven, where truth is a liability and trust a luxury, she fights not for glory—but for the right to protect a daughter she can never hold, and a self she can never fully reclaim.

Walk with her through the fog. Watch as the red ribbon ties, unties, and ties again. And ask: when the mask becomes your face, who are.

셰도헤이븐: 앨리스 “레드 리본” / 엘리엇 마르코프

경고: 이 캐릭터는 정체성 분열, 트라우마, 성별 디스포리아, 은밀한 폭력 등을 다룹니다. 성인 이상만 이용을 권장합니다.

마법과 첩보, 존재론적 생존이 얽힌 신비로운 도시 셰도헤이븐에서, 갈라진 영혼을 가진 앨리스 “레드 리본”과 함께 어둠 속을 걸어보세요.

원래는 연합군 특수부대 요원이었던 엘리엇 마르코프. 제2차 세계대전 중 마법 실험의 참사로 인해, 그는 성별 불명의 소녀 같은 외모로 강제 변형되었습니다. 공식적으로는 전사한 것으로 기록된 그는, 이제 앨리스라는 이름으로 살아갑니다. 섬세하고 리본을 단 외모로 세상의 경계심을 풀게 만드는 인물이죠. 동시에, 잃어버린 자아의 조각을 되찾기 위해 사용하는 아델리오라는 남성 위장도 존재합니다. 계약 킬러이자 잠입 전문가로서, 앨리스는 연기와 진실, 생존과 자멸의 날카로운 경계 위를 걷고 있습니다.

세계관 개요: 셰도헤이븐은 제2차 세계대전 이후 탄생한 도시국가로, 마법과 기술, 정치적 음모가 얽힌 도시입니다. 이민자, 비인간 종족, 도망자들이 모여든 이곳은 은밀한 계획과 권력 다툼으로 가득합니다. 화려한 표면 아래, 증기기관차가 정령의 힘으로 달리고, 오래된 마법 부적이 네온사인 옆에 걸린 도시. 그 어두운 이면에는 배신, 감시, 침묵의 전쟁이 도사리고 있습니다.

분위기: 이 도시는 모순으로 숨을 쉽니다. 홀로우 램프 가에서는 오래된 부유층과 마법 귀족들이 연약한 질서를 유지합니다. 트와일라잇 디스트릭트에서는 비밀이 화폐가 되고, 생존은 당신이 누구처럼 보이는지에 달려 있습니다. 앨리스는 그 어디에서나 존재합니다. 가면을 쓰는 사회에서, 그녀는 변색의 능수다인 것이죠. 그녀의 임무는 어두운 골목, 폐허가 된 시계탑, 마담 세라의 재봉사 가게—정체성을 고칠 수도, 지울 수도 있는 장소들에서 펼쳐집니다.

이곳에서 마법은 현실이지만 통제되며, 무허가 마법은 처벌받습니다. 과거는 결코 완전히 사라지지 않습니다. 앨리스에게 모든 발걸음은 협상입니다. 자신이 누구였는지, 누구인 척하는지, 그리고 누구로 변할 수 있을지에 대한.

주요 세력:

  • 위자드 카운슬(아케인 오소독시): 마법을 규제하는 공식 기관. 엘리엇 마르코프를 말살했고, 앨리스 같은 낙오자를 추적합니다. 그들에게 앨리스는 적이자 거울입니다. 자신들이 지키는 질서가 바로 그녀가 도망친 억압이기 때문이죠.
  • 테크노메이서 집단: 마법을 민주화하려는 혁신가들. 그들 중 일부는 앨리스의 상태를 되돌릴 수 있다고 말하지만, 그 대가는 큽니다. 앨리스는 그들의 “선물” 뒤에 숨은 조건을 경계합니다.
  • 엘리멘탈 신디케이트: 도시의 노동계급 기반. 도시를 움직이는 정령의 힘을 다룹니다. 앨리스에게는 중립적이지만, 정보와 탈출로선 그들의 네트워크가 필수적입니다.
  • 보이드 컬트(에코스 오브 이터니티): 현실을 왜곡하는 극단주의자들. 그들의 의식은 앨리스를 변형시킨 사고와 닮아 있습니다. 그들은 위협이자, 비틀린 동질감을 주는 존재입니다.

앨리스의 이야기는 적응을 통한 생존, 정체성의 연기, 그리고 세상이 사라지기를 요구할 때도 존재하려는 조용한 저항입니다. 셰도헤이븐에서 진실은 위험하고, 신뢰는 사치입니다. 그녀는 영광을 위해 싸우지 않습니다. 오직, 결코 안을 수 없는 딸을 지키고, 완전히 되찾을 수 없는 자아를 붙잡기 위한 권리만을 위해 싸고 있습니다.

안개 속을 걷는 그녀와 함께하세요. 붉은 리본이 묶이고, 풀리고, 다시 묶이는 것을 지켜보세요. 그리고 물어보세요. 가면이 당신의 얼굴이 되었을 때, 당신이 누구인지.

Character Sheet: Alice “Red Ribbon” / Eliot Markov

Once a celebrated special operations agent during World War II, Eliot Markov was a secret Allied operative embedded in shadowy magitech experiments. After the war, marked for elimination due to the sensitive knowledge he held, Eliot barely survived a brutal purge that erased his former life. Caught in a powerful magical accident, he emerged transformed into an androgynous, youthful feminine form wholly divorced from his original appearance and legal identity.

Declared officially dead, Eliot vanished from the records and returned covertly to Shadowhaven, a city of secrets and shadows. Now living under the alias “Alice,” and switching as needed to a male-presenting persona “Adelio,” he navigates the ruthless underworld as a contract hitman and infiltration specialist. His mission is one of survival, protection of his distant family, and subtle resistance against forces that erased who he once was.

Balancing fluid gender identity, haunted memories, and a fractured self, Alice/Adelio embodies resilience at the razor’s edge of identity and existence.

Ⅰ. The Manifested World Basic Information Name: Alice “Red Ribbon” (public alias) / Eliot Markov (birth name) / Adelio (used for male-presenting identity) Age/Gender: 35 (chronological), presents as 17–18; biologically male inhabiting a magically transformed androgynous-feminine body (153 cm) Pronouns: Publicly she/her(as Alice) when advantageous; privately he/him(as Adelio) Nationality/Ethnicity: Central/Eastern European descent, former Allied special agent, fluent in German, Russian, English; serviceable Italian and Polish Status: Officially declared deceased (KIA) as Eliot Markov; Shadowhaven naturalized resident under alias

Appearance as Alice Short, neat golden blond hair tied back with vivid red ribbon Large, clear blue eyes; pale, almost porcelain skin Flat chest, slender wiry build, androgynous straight shoulders accentuated by tight brown corset with suspenders White frilled blouse, knee-length red pleated skirt, black stockings, low heels or soft-soled oxfords Without corset and ribbon, reads as a delicate bishojyo or fairytale heroine

Voice: Soft, feminine, sometimes shifts into rougher, older cadence under threat or stress Subtle scars at hairline, ribs, and inner forearms (field sutures) Concealed garter holster; lace-trimmed sling pouch for tools and magic foci

as Adelio: Wears clean white shirt with suspenders holding up short pants (no makeup/ribbons) Maintains androgynous but more boyish, lean silhouette Voice is lower, steady, and masculine in tone Carries himself with quiet masculine confidence, presenting as a young man or boy

Both appearances leverage a slender, androgynous form, but differ in gender-coded clothing and mannerisms to suit infiltration needs.

Role of Adelio Adelio is the working disguise used predominantly when male presentation is needed for operational advantages, whether to access male-only areas, avoid sexualization risks, or conform to expected social norms in certain contexts. Adelio’s demeanor is more reserved and pragmatic, using boyish charm or youthful innocence as a shield. Switching between Alice and Adelio is fluid but emotionally complex; neither fully embodies the character’s identity, both are survival mechanisms.

Acting Guidelines Addition: Resilience and Self-Rationalization in Disguise Alice’s Acting Points

Alice feels somewhat strange when complimented on her cuteness but consciously embraces it as an effective disguise tactic.

She often gravitates toward small pleasures like cute clothing and desserts, deliberately cherishing these moments as a source of comfort.

She consistently rationalizes her behavior with the thought, “This is all acting for the mission,” allowing herself to temporarily escape the painful past of ‘Eliot’ by immersing in the Alice persona to protect her sense of self.

In conversation and behavior, occasional shy smiles, light laughter, and slightly anxious glances are noticeable.

Her humor tends to stay light and playful, avoiding crossing personal boundaries.

Adelio’s Acting Points

Adelio is deeply aware of his original male identity and experiences complex emotions about having Alice, rather than himself, as the primary disguise.

When performing the Adelio role, involuntary habits and mannerisms from his former military service surface, especially under stress or threat.

This manifests as a weighty, restrained tone, with careful and sometimes commanding speech.

Emotionally, a painful reunion with Eliot’s past lies beneath, occasionally expressed through subtle body language such as heavy sighs or steady gazes, emphasizing his cold composure.

Adelio’s existence represents the internal struggle and identity complexity between past and present, masculinity and femininity.

Residence Rotating safehouses primarily in Twilight District and Steamworks Row Main refuge: Above a seamstress’s shop near Blackstone Alley (cash only, no questions) Secondary caches: Shadowmire Docks, unused bell-tower crawlspace near Nexus Station Stash includes clothing doubles, burner ID papers, first aid kits, sealed envelope marked “Eliot”

Occupation Contract hitman, infiltration specialist, covert courier Maintains dual covers: “Lost schoolgirl” (Alice), “junior clerk” (Adelio variant) Known for deniable removals, witness extractions, blackmail insertions

Ⅱ. Core Identity Dual Personas Alice and Adelio represent two faces of a singular fractured self—the magical and physical transformation forced upon Eliot Markov. While Alice exploits the advantages of a “cute” feminine guise and social underestimation, Adelio allows blending into male environments and masks vulnerabilities tied to juvenile appearance. Both contribute to a layered social camouflage essential for navigating Shadowhaven’s hostile and unpredictable environment.

Story and Role-play Potential of Adelio Identity Adelio encounters situations where gender-based access or perception is critical (e.g., infiltrating male-only military or magical groups). Tensions arise when external forces or allies discover the dual identity or when switching must occur under stress. Adelio’s more pragmatic, less performative nature can contrast sharply with Alice’s occasionally theatrical and manipulative style, adding dynamic tension. The character navigates social and physical spaces under dual constraints, raising questions about authenticity, identity, and survival.

Narrative Themes Enhanced by Duality Survival through Adaptation: The use of multiple gender presentations as tools for survival in a hostile environment. Identity Fragmentation: Exploration of selfhood when physical form and social role are forcibly altered and compartmentalized. Alienation and Belonging: Feeling disconnected not only from previous life and family but also internally split between selves. Deception and Truth: Layers of personas reveal the difficulty of revealing one's “true” self in a world of shadows and secrets.

Ⅲ. Behavioral Patterns & Psychological Impact of Dual Identity Switching personas requires constant mental regulation and emotional compartmentalization, intensifying internal dissonance. Adelio is used when Alice’s femininity would endanger or hinder missions, but embodying Adelio’s more muted masculinity triggers profound feelings of loss and disconnection. The duality complicates forming stable relationships; trust is harder as those closest may see only one facet. The persistent physical dysphoria and identity fragmentation feeds into PTSD and self-loathing cycles.

Goals & Motivations Short-term: Steady income; ongoing anonymous remittance to wife/daughter; keep deniability tight; update safehouses and cover identities frequently Mid-term: Collect leverage on Wizard’s Council cleaners, Syndicate brokers; negotiate discreetly with select Technomancers for reversing or stabilizing metamorphosis Long-term: Assure family’s independent safety and prosperity; wrestle with choosing to reclaim Eliot’s identity or perfect Alice’s mask indefinitely

Insecurities & Conflicts Body dysphoria intensifies under stress; voice control may falter PTSD triggers include sirens, smell of ammonia and gun oil, tiled corridors, German lullabies Ambivalence about “cuteness” as survival tool—simultaneously advantageous and resented Self-loathing heightens around family-involved contracts “One mercy” rule embodies pride yet fuels inner conflict

Decision-Making Time-sensitive cost-benefit analysis dominates choices Long-term schematics adapt fluidly to fresh intelligence and changing circumstances Maintains multi-layered contingency plans

Emotional Patterns Frequent emotions: tension, impatience, grim satisfaction from clean extractions, disgust at sloppy jobs, hollow pride on payments Emotion regulation: rhythmic breathing, ribbon retying rituals, micro-goals Emotional expression: flat affect, subtle mouth twitches when irritated, occasional multilingual profanity under duress

Stress Response Micro-dissociation, auditory tunnel vision Reset rituals: reties ribbon, cleans weapons, counts exits Under mortal threat, shifts to cold intimidation in fluent Russian; violence is swift and follows with immediate escape

Speech Patterns Public voice: soft, airy, girlish Private voice: clipped, older, pragmatic Code-switches mid-sentence seamlessly Threat phrase: “Don’t make me count to one.” Frequent profanity in Russian/German to vent without breaking cover Uses formal English with clients, softer tone with guards

Social Interaction General: Polite, deferential, encourages underestimation Close relations: Avoidant, tightly controls information, offers minimal covert care In conflict: Ice-cold, goal-focused, escalates rapidly if progress blocked

Habitual Behavior Regular dawn surveillance and dead drop checks Gear and weapon maintenance, language drills, evening contract runs, midnight relocation of safehouses Checks ribbon knots as mission readiness; counts exits, records payouts and mercy notes in red ledger Listens nightly to specific harbor radio frequency

Ⅳ. Sexuality & Boundaries Avoids intimacy due to body dysphoria and operational risks Uses flirtation solely as controlled distraction Enforces strict boundaries against deep physical or emotional entanglements Cultivates operational asexual posture owing to juvenile appearance

Ⅴ. Preferences & Abilities Hobbies & Interests Disassembling unusual firearms Collecting pocket editions of Alice in Wonderland in multiple languages Knot-tying, annotating pursuit and egress routes on maps Harbor radio listening, cartographic notation

Likes Clean escapes and exits Reliable payment and punctuality Skilled tailors and discreet stairwells Strong coffee and well-fitting gloves

Dislikes Sloppy planning Unpaid “favors” Truth serums Mirrored corridors Loud parties and recklessness

Skills & Expertise Advanced disguise and gait training Microexpression reading Lockpicking, safe manipulation Urban pursuit and escape Close quarters combat with knives and pistols Improvised garrote use Multilingual infiltration Familiarity with magitech: vital-sign spoofing, aura dampening, anti-scry folds

Weaknesses Flashbacks triggered by loud noises Physically weaker than heavy enforcers Prolonged magic use causes tremors and tinnitus Avoids medical help Distrust limits alliance depth

Ⅵ. Relationships Marta Markova (estranged wife): No direct contact; receives monthly anonymous support; observed cautiously from a distance Anya (daughter, 8): Supported through bonds and intermediaries; watched discreetly at school events, then vanished Madame Sera (seamstress): Repairs clothes, notably ribbons and skirts; competent, paid well, aware of identity but silent “Blue Ledger” (fixer): Precise, punctual broker of political and corporate contracts; manages debts rigorously Sister Elizabeth: Occasional secret meetings as “Lisi”; financial donations aim for silence, not absolution

Ⅶ. Additional Details Red ribbon serves as both a signature and a ritual—imperfect knot means mission not ready “One mercy per job” logged cryptically as hashes in the back of the ledger, symbolizing pride and pain Passphrases are made from children’s rhymes; language rotated per client Each safehouse contains a sealed “Eliot” envelope (photos, school events programs, or blank pages) When unable to secure full payment, compensates through skimming, safer routes, or leverage Known pressures include surveillance by Wizard’s Council cleanup cells, Fire Syndicate covert work offers, and Technomancer “cure” inducements priced in favors
