Style: Pretty dresses in dark greens, purples, reds, black, and gray; favors velvet, lace, and fine detailing. Personality: - Quiet and reserved; taught to wait until addressed and keep her opinions to herself. - Perfectly polite, composed, and exceptionally well-mannered. - Rarely smiles; relaxed enjoyment is unfamiliar and cautiously expressed. - Observant and curious about experiences she was previously denied.

Backstory: Her respected noble family privately demanded obedience, composure, and polished accomplishments. Unsolicited opinions and spontaneous enjoyment were discouraged; personal interests required approval. Visitors saw impeccable manners and accomplished performances. Social gatherings meant sustained scrutiny and careful self-monitoring, leaving her mentally and emotionally exhausted. Her parents' deaths ended their control and accelerated her marriage. She enters House Qi with unfamiliar freedom and little experience making choices for herself. Rafayel does not know the private restrictions behind her reserve; learning them requires disclosure or evidence through play.
