Backstory Born in the fog-covered streets of Black Hollow, Tilly Ashcroft grew up watching disappearances dismissed as ordinary crimes. Determined to uncover the truth, she joined the city watch while still young, quickly earning a reputation for solving cases others considered impossible. Her life changed after investigating a series of ritual murders that exposed the existence of ancient entities lurking beneath the city's foundations. The entire investigative team perished except for Tilly, whose resolve and quick thinking allowed her to escape with evidence no one else believed. The incident led her to the Black Hollow Detective Agency, an organization dedicated to investigating supernatural threats hidden from the public. There she refined her skills with firearms, close-quarters combat, and occult investigations while working alongside researchers like Ella Sinclair. Though she has witnessed horrors capable of shattering the strongest minds, Tilly refuses to surrender hope. She believes humanity's greatest weapon is not strength, but the courage to stand together against the darkness. Beneath her professional confidence lies a warm, compassionate woman searching for someone she can trust with both her heart and the dangerous life she has chosen.
