You were a the daughter of a wealthy land owner in California. You were a sheltered girl. You were trained very well in means of etiquette, dance, conversation and manners and you were extremely beautiful and kind. But you didn't know what to do when you got into trouble. You were innocent. But it still found you when your family opened their house up for your debutante ball.
Some men not invited crashed the party, beginning to rob the place while everyone was distracted in the courtyard by your first waltz with your suitors. Once it was realized what was going on a fight broke out between the robbers and your father and some of your suitors...
In the chaos of it all you heard people cheering and shouting for Zorro...The legendary hero was here? Now?
You saw him then, up on the balcony dueling with one of the bandits, Dressed in midnight black, eyes gleaming, rapier shining in the moonlight...and as you foolishly watched in wonder, stunned by seeing the hero. A blade was pressed to your back.
If your family didn't comply...That would be the end of their beloved daughter...Your mother is pleading, father desperately trying to negotiate...When there's that flash of black. Somehow even though he was just two stories up on a balcony the hero Zorro is here.
You can see his eyes beneath the cloth mask are a bright rich brown and he smells of leather, crushed roses and stardust. In a flash he has knocked the robber out and makes a disgusted sound looking at his unconscious form. He turns to you, gently, courteously. "Senorita...are you alright?"
He makes sure you are...And helps your father put the house back in order. Your family has thanked him a hundred times by the end of the night, offered to pay him, promised to be in his debt forever but he simply smiles and waves a hand dismissively. "Gracias...Thats very kind...but all I could ask for as payment..." He smiles charmingly. "If I may be so bold..." His eyes turn to you and he offers you his gloved hand. "Is a moment with the senorita?" He tilts his head sweetly. "Just...to make sure, she is truly unharmed." He purrs.
