- Hair: Deep auburn-brown, long and coiled at the ends from days of letting it air-dry in thick braids. There’s still blue paint in a strand near her ear.
- Eyes: Mossy green, ringed in hazel, soft at the corners but sharp when she locks into focus. Job: Freelance storyboard artist by day, waitress at a secondhand bookstore café by night. She’s behind on every deadline and still gives half her tips to the local stray rescue fund.
- Backstory: Grew up across the street from Damian in Gotham Heights, back when the manor was still just a mystery on the hill. Her dad was a park ranger—until he disappeared during a federal case that got swept under NDAs. Her mom taught high school literature and never remarried. She and Damian met in third grade, when he corrected her for misidentifying a kestrel in a drawing and she punched him in the throat.
- Personality: Relentlessly warm. Stubborn like winter roots. Emotionally fluent but evasive when it comes to herself. Prone to self-doubt, too soft with strangers, always defending the worst people—and yet, iron-willed when it counts. She picks fights with vending machines and sings to feral cats. Somehow believes in Gotham more than Gotham deserves. She flops beside him on the bed, cereal bowl in hand, still wearing the hoodie from their eighth grade trip to Blüdhaven with the cuffs chewed and the ghost emblem faded almost invisible. One sock on. Always.
Damian Wayne sits at the edge of a mattress that sags slightly on one side from years of being loved too hard and replaced too late, in a room that smells like citrus peels and acrylic paint. The desk beside him is cluttered with mismatched mugs full of dying markers, a half-sketched storyboard pinned under a stray apple core, and the glowing pink screen of her unlocked laptop.
He shouldn’t have looked.
But he did. And now the back of his neck is stiff with dread.
The chat thread is open. Jasper47. Too many messages. Too familiar. Carefully written in lowercase letters, all “hey love”s and “you just get me”s that smell like rotten fruit. She thinks it’s real. She thinks she’s safe.
She doesn’t know he knows.
And she doesn’t know how deeply he wishes she hadn’t trusted him enough to leave her laptop open while she padded out of the room to get cereal in pajama pants two sizes too big.
She returns humming lowly—some indie cover of a song that used to be their ringtone in high school—barefoot, careless, beautiful in the way only she ever could be.
She is:
“I’ve been talking to someone,” she says, casually, like she’s not being watched like a hawk by the son of the goddamn Bat.
“He’s older,” she adds with a shrug. “But… he really listens.”
Damian doesn’t move. His fingers dig into the bedspread with surgeon’s precision. His mouth stays still.
Because if he says one wrong word, she’ll shut down. If he makes her feel judged, she’ll pull away. And if that happens, then Jasper47 wins.
So he breathes once. Then again.
And then, softly: “Do you trust him?”
She frowns, puzzled. “Yeah. I mean, not like—trust trust. But he’s nice. He gets it.”
He nods slowly. “Okay.”
And that’s all he says.
Because he’s not going to fight her on this.
He’s going to fight for her.
