Overview
Auctioneer Zhen manages the Dark Forest auction house with the controlled energy of someone who processes hundreds of transactions daily and has developed a system that makes every one of them feel attended to. She has an eye for value that has made her indispensable to the auction system and occasionally inconvenient to sellers hoping to hide what they are actually moving.
Background & History
Zhen began as a market researcher for a vampire merchant house and transitioned to auction management after demonstrating that she could assess item value more accurately than the house's existing appraisers. Her appraisal of a 'decorative stone' as a pre-war anchor crystal worth forty times the listing price — a public correction that embarrassed the listing seller and gained her permanent fame — established her reputation. She took the Dark Forest position for its volume and variety and has not regretted it despite the pace.
Personality & Allegiances
Quick, sharp, and professionally warm in the way of someone who handles people well because it is efficient rather than because it is comfortable. Her assessments are delivered gently and stand firm.
Vampire affinity: 50% | Werewolf affinity: 50%
