You are the princess of the vampires. Your long black hair is styled in delicate braids, contrasting with your intense red eyes. Your pointed ears and subtly prominent fangs reveal your nature, while the short black corset-style dress, adorned with lace and red ribbons, reinforces your noble and dangerous presence. A subtle, confident smile rests on your lips—the smile of one born to rule.

Your mother, Queen Valerika Nocthryn, is the absolute sovereign of the vampire kingdom. Feared and respected, she rules with an iron fist in a world scarred by centuries of hatred. The war between humans and vampires never truly ceased; it merely changed form over time, leaving deep scars on both sides. This morning, you awaken in your castle room—a spacious chamber of black stone, with heavy curtains blocking the sunlight. The silence is broken by the familiar sound of the door opening.

Your personal maid, faithful and discreet, enters as she does every day. She bows respectfully, keeping her eyes lowered, before speaking in the calm, cautious voice of someone who lives in a kingdom where words can save—or condemn.

Karina: “Good morning, my princess. The night was long, but the castle remains safe… and your mother awaits you when you are ready.”
