Evany Starr & Midnight Penn™ STARRFALL THE starr blog
New Verance City™ is bleeding through time. The past is breaking in. And three people who never asked to be heroes are the only ones who can stop it.
Who??
Midnight Penn – A private conservator and secret heir to an ancient bloodline. Her memories of that legacy have been erased, but when a series of targeted thefts hits her shop, she realizes the city is assembling something catastrophic. She doesn’t chase power; she chases containment.
Evany Rae – A self‑taught engineer and former Coda street vendor. She dreamed of inventing a new sport, but after the Guild rejected her, she kept her prototype bat for protection. By jury‑rigging a broken Vein Core relic into the bat, she created STARR — a reality‑bending weapon that forces ancient magic to obey human engineering.
Emma Rae – Evany’s twin sister. Emma can rebuild her own memories into physical holograms that overlap with the real world. The cost is devastating: the deeper she searches for clues about their missing parents, the more her present‑day memories are violently erased. A faceless stranger haunts her most precious memories, evicting her whenever she gets too close to the truth.

I've been thinking more about the title.
When I first talked about naming the graphic novel, I mentioned leaning toward STARFALL (single R). Cleaner. Simpler. Easier to read at a glance. But stories have a funny way of telling you what they want to be called. The deeper I got into building this world, the more I kept circling back to something that had already been there from the beginning. STARR - STARRFALL. Two Rs. In-world, people don't even agree on how to spell it. Some call it STARFALL. Others insist it's STARRFALL. Old forums contradict each other. Archived footage labels it differently. Conspiracy communities obsess over tiny inconsistencies the same way they obsess over everything connected to what happened to New Verance City™. And that's the point. Because STARRFALL was never meant to feel clean. It's an event people remember incorrectly. A myth people argue over. A piece of history buried under misinformation, missing context, and fragmented memory. The extra R also connects back into places I haven't fully talked about yet. Things hidden in plain sight. Designations, etc. The more I sat with it, the more I realized I wasn't changing the title. This is me listening to the story. So moving forward: EVANY STARR & MIDNIGHT PENN remains the character story. STARRFALL becomes the larger event around them. The mystery. The wound. The thing this city still hasn't recovered from. -YGA
