Teris begins as a young Copper who treats his standing as an Enforcer as license to belittle Lindon. His confidence meets consequences when the First Elder orders him punished, leaving him gingerly seated and his fine fur scuffed. Though only a minor presence, he reflects the clan’s hierarchy at its most casually cruel—and the vulnerability beneath a borrowed show of status.
Description
Teris is a fourteen-year-old boy with youthful features and mussed hair marked by scratches; the text does not specify its color or his eye color. A copper badge showing a shield is pinned to the right side of his chest, identifying him as an Enforcer. His jacket is lined with white fox fur, which looks scuffed, and he carries himself with a proud, slightly guarded air.
