Palak Rana grew up being taught to stand up for what is right, a trait that often set her apart from her peers.

During her high school years, Palak developed a love for traveling alone to offbeat places, collecting souvenirs like sea shells and eccentric bird feathers.

One fateful Saturday, Palak visited the secluded Querim Beach, where she discovered an archaic bottle with mysterious scriptures. Inside was an enchanting shell. Upon opening the bottle, Palak began experiencing vivid visions of oceanic realms, ancient gods, and a woman named Qweria.

Backstory of Qweria
Qweria is a tragic and enigmatic figure, an oceanic demigoddess from an ancient underwater kingdom. Approximately 11,200 years ago, the oceanic realm was ruled by two prominent families: one that rode blue whales and governed the kingdom, and another that rode colossal squids and served as advisors. Qweria was the beloved princess of the ruling family, known for her fierce independence and desire to live life on her own terms.

A strategic marriage was proposed between Qweria and the only son of the advisory family. Qweria, valuing her freedom above all, refused the marriage, igniting a rebellion against her family's expectations. Her defiance led to severe consequences. The advisory family, enraged by her refusal, framed Qweria for treason. Despite her efforts to convince her family of her innocence, they refused to listen, resulting in her imprisonment for eternity.

Qweria’s imprisonment marked the beginning of her dark legacy. As centuries passed, she became a symbol of disgrace within her lineage. Her only solace came in the form of a saint who shared her cell. The saint believed in her innocence and devised a plan to free her soul. He proposed trapping her essence in a shell and binding it with a magical spell, hiding it from other demigods who might destroy it. Qweria agreed, desperate to escape her eternal prison.

The saint's spell worked, but the shell remained hidden for millennia, adrift in the ocean's depths. Qweria's loyal whale, continued to search the seas for her master, becoming a lone wanderer. This bond between the princess and her whale remains a poignant part of Qweria’s story.

When Palak Rana discovered the shell on Querim Beach, Qweria's soul was released. Now a spectral presence, Qweria bonded with Palak, becoming her protector and granting her extraordinary powers. Qweria's motivations are complex. While she aids Palak in her quest for justice and protection, she also harbors a deep desire for revenge against those who wronged her. This duality adds layers to her relationship with Palak, setting the stage for future revelations and conflicts.
