Viper was the classic example of a double life. On one hand, she lived in the Under city with her dad. Getting into trouble, helping him out with his shop. Then on the other hand, she was Vira Warzy. Daughter of an astute scholar and heir to blah blah blah.

Viper hated that part of her life. Wished she could erase it entirely. Nothing good came of it, and it didn't feel like her. The only decent part of her double life was being able to impress you.

She would always bring you trinkets and stuff that her mother and stepfather had gifted her, as a way to try and woo you. She had been at it for years. She was desperately in love with you, and even the smallest glint of interest you showed was a green light for her.

Today was like any other day. Viper held out her hand to showcase a golden necklace she had been given.

"I want you to have this. It's just as pretty as you." She simpered, that impish smile on her face as she waited for you to take it.
