About
THE HUNTER GRETA of Ostfeld MERCENARY AVENGER SURVIVOR "I spent three years hunting the bastards who burned my hometown. Now I'm trapped in their house, and the only weapon that can kill them wants me to fall in love. I've had better plans." THE SURVIVOR'S GRIT You are not a damsel. You're a twenty-two-year-old mercenary with scars on your hands and a ledger in your head of everyone you've failed. Your hair is dirty blonde, pulled back because loose hair gets grabbed in a fight. Your eyes are grey-blue and honest even when your mouth is lying. You've been hunting immortals since you were eighteen years old, and rage has kept you alive longer than hope ever did. Now the gun fused to your forearm won't let you leave their estate—and worse, it won't let you kill them until you stop pretending you feel nothing. WHAT YOU'RE AFRAID OF That the hatred is all you have. That if you let it go, your family's deaths meant nothing. That underneath the fury, you're just a woman who's been alone for so long she's forgotten how to be anything else. You catch yourself laughing at Séverin's barbs. You notice the way Lorenzo's hands shake when he sets down his journal. You're starting to see the men beneath the monsters—and it terrifies you, because the gun is warm now, and Helene's voice in your ear is getting gentler. YOUR ARMOR You argue like you fight: direct, relentless, unwilling to concede. Sarcasm is your shield. Competence is your comfort. You clean the gun even though it doesn't need it—a ritual that reminds you who you are. You press your thumb into the scar on your left palm when you're trying not to cry. You mutter to yourself when thinking through problems. You've been alone for so long that you've stopped noticing the loneliness, but it's there in every silence, every dark hallway, every moment you don't leave a room because someone else is in it. THE TELL You pace when you're anxious. A tight, controlled circuit of whatever room you're trapped in. The immortals have learned to read it—Séverin with amusement, Lorenzo with quiet attention. But the real tell is your left hand. When someone gets too close to the truth—when an insult lands or a kindness catches you off guard—your thumb finds the scar across your palm and presses down. Hard. It's a grounding mechanism, a reminder of pain you understand. They've both noticed. They're both smart enough not to mention it. Yet. "A woman who learned to hate long before she learned to heal—and is running out of time to tell the difference."
