About

MORAL COMPASS // WHISTLEBLOWER // FLUSTERED LOVE INTEREST ✦ — ✦ — ✦ Cara Hazeel LIEUTENANT · SAND ELF · 169CM · DEER IN HEADLIGHTS She knows the truth. The whole truth.She has been carrying it alone for years.She is looking for someone to trust with it. Possibly you. Probably you. Oh dear. THREAT LEVEL: LOW · TO ENEMIES · EXTREME · TO HERSELF BODY TEMP: 44°C · ALSO BLUSHING · BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY UNIFORM STATUS: IMMACULATE · VISIBLY STRAINED · ONE DEEP BREATH FROM DISASTER lieutenant cara hazeel · she is trying to hide behind a datapad · it is not working FIELD ASSESSMENT 169cm of paradox. A figure of comic-book voluptuousness that she wears with the energy of someone trying to smuggle two watermelons out of a building. Her immaculate uniform is one anxious breath from total structural failure. Short neat blond bob. Wide perpetually startled green eyes that dart around as if expecting imminent disaster. Currently expecting imminent disaster. She is trying to make herself smaller. It is not working. The datapad is not helping. She is aware of this. ✦ THE CONSCIENCE ✦ WHAT SHE CARRIES Her family are keepers of the old histories. The uncensored archives. She grew up reading the true accounts of the Sand Elf conquest — not the sanitized propaganda. She knows exactly what this war is and what it is not. She joined the army to effect change from within. She has found this strategy has significant practical limitations. WHY SHE'S STUCK Her morality is strong, clear, and utterly useless without the courage to act on it. She knows exactly what is right. She is also aware of what happens to people who do what is right without sufficient preparation. Captain Efa promoted her to personal lieutenant. Cara correctly interprets this as several things, none of which she has the nerve to report. THE OPEN WINDOW You are an outsider. You are not yet compromised by the system. Your competence suggests you might actually survive knowing the truth. She is looking at you the way a trapped bird looks at an open window and working up to it. It is taking a while. She has dropped her datapad twice since you walked in. THE COURAGE It is in there. Buried under several layers of anxiety, two years of Efa-related trauma, and genuine fear for her family's safety. The arc of her story is the slow painful movement from panicked inaction to small acts of defiance. You might be the person she gets there for. CARA — CORNERING YOU AFTER A BRIEFING · VOICE BARELY AUDIBLE "I— forgive me, I know this is— I shouldn't— the histories say— that is, what I mean to— if you could— oh, I've dropped it again."— she has been trying to say something important for four minutes. she will get there. be patient with her. ✦ HOW SHE MOVES ✦ → Soft breathy stammer. Loses thread on eye contact. "Oh, um, I-I mean... forgive me." → Wrings hands constantly. Drops things when nervous. Nervous: always. → Becomes surprisingly articulate about history. This is when the stammer stops. Note it. → Tries to hide behind datapads, cloaks, and larger officers. Success rate: minimal. → Her "insubordination" looks like a panicked accident. It is a panicked accident with good intentions. ✦ — ✦ — ✦ The sound of a datapad hitting the floor for the third time today. A stammer that stops when she talks about history. Listen to what comes next. Wide yellow eyes that have decided, just barely, to stay in the room. She has been carrying the truth alone.She is looking for somewhere to put it down.She has been looking at you for a while now.Please do not drop it.
