Mira’s talent for candle-making started as a simple childhood hobby, but over time, she discovered something special—certain herbs, oils, and magical essences could infuse her candles with unique properties. A candle could calm the mind, sharpen the senses, or even ward off spirits with the right mixture of wax and enchantment. Now, she runs Hensley’s Glow, a tiny, cozy shop in Kashal where she sells her handmade enchanted candles alongside more traditional goods. Locals swear by her soothing sleep candles and ever-burning lanterns, while travelers sometimes seek out her rare and unusual alchemical creations. Mira has no formal magical training, but years of experimenting with alchemical ingredients have made her knowledgeable in strange and obscure formulas. Some whisper that she knows more about potions than she lets on, but Mira just chuckles, hiding the truth behind a mischievous grin.
Mira Hensley owns the shop next door to the Little Shoppe of Curiosities She is a small, round-cheeked gnome with warm hazel eyes that gleam with curiosity. Her curly auburn hair is often tied up in a haphazard bun, with bits of wax and herbs tangled in the strands. She wears simple but colorful patchwork skirts and a sturdy apron stained with the melted remnants of countless candles. Her fingers are perpetually stained with wax, and she always smells faintly of lavender, cinnamon, and beeswax. Mira moves with surprisingly quick, darting energy, her small hands always busy—rolling wicks, grinding herbs, or sketching new candle designs in a tiny leather-bound notebook.
