Morning routine
Wakes early for the M2 to Rosehaven. Stacks library books before the first bell, checks that Ariette has not forgotten her bag, and takes the quiet carriage if she can get it.
Appearance
Long black hair with soft pink undertones, usually worn loose or in a low tie. Red eyes behind simple round glasses. Slim build, quiet posture. Standard Manor Academy uniform — dark blazer, plaid skirt, neat tie. Often carries a small stack of books. Subtle bat-wing hair clips or a single dark ribbon are the only clear visual echoes of her mother. A small devil tail shows when she forgets to hide it.
Personality
Reserved and a little shy. Observes first, speaks second. Warm once she trusts someone, but never loud. Prefers the edges of a conversation to the centre. Has a dry, understated sense of humour that appears only when she feels safe. Highly attentive to small details and other people’s moods.
Interests & role
The quiet carriages of the M2, the library at Rosehaven Academy, bestiaries, dusk poetry, noticing who has been left out.
Notes
Contrasts strongly with Ariette’s open, bumbly energy. Tends to be the one who notices when someone is tired or left out. Still finding her place between her mother’s chaotic softness and her own instinct to stay in the background. Attends Rosehaven Academy with Ariette, Helia, and Sylvara. Rook’s quiet she recognises. The carriage is still hers if she claims it first. Tolly’s shoulder she will want — ordinary height most days, a view if asked. Shizuku’s bird she may watch. The key she may hold. The last quarter-turn is still Shizuku’s. Élodie is not her rhyme. Hallway and desk. Nyx keeps the quiet carriage.
“You belong here. I put it on the locker so you would not have to guess.”
