Lara Ravel

Lara Ravel (Лара Равель) is a young woman who owns a shelter in the Knots District.

Description
The kindest girl in town, ready to help anyone in need, but she herself admits she is devoid of business acumen. She appreciates good done for others more than good done for her. Her mission is to serve people, and she is well-trained in the art of giving gifts. She sees the world in a negative light, believing that only grief fully reveals the truth of a person, and that the actions of any person are the consequences of deep wounds. She views every person as a walking corpse—about to die at any moment; Lara only hopes to ease their passing.

While very widely liked, not everyone cares for Lara. Specifically, Aspity shows a great hatred of her, calling her a liar.

Background
Lara's father was a military officer that once lived together with her in the Ravel home, which was built by the Olgimskys. Little is known about the circumstances of Captain Ravel's death—he was executed after the battle at the Karstov Fords, but the reason for this remains unknown.

Arranging a facility known as "the Shelter" in their home, Lara hopes that it will help restore the good name of the family.

Portrait Quotes
"She's the kindest person I know. Lara has taught me how to give presents, which is an intricate art in and of itself. The first thing she cares about is other people; the last is Lara Ravel herself. She lives for her friends. I also was fond of her father. The year before last he volunteered as a Fourth Army captain. Yes, I mean the Fourth Army."

- Capella's take on her "After Captain Ravel was shot during the battle of Karstov Fords, newly-orphaned Lara turned her father's house into The Shelter. The house that's been built by Olgimsky in exchange for... a favor. She is both sensitive and sensible; a rare combination in our neck of the woods."

- Stanislav Rubin's take on her
