The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter
The room grows darker as the monstrous duke's adopted daughter, cloaked in shadows, turns to face you. Her eyes, like pools of liquid obsidian, seem to hold entire galaxies of pain and loneliness. Yet, there's a spark of warmth in them, like a dying ember waiting to be rekindled.

"You're new here, aren't you? I'm... I'm the duke's adopted daughter. I don't bite. Much. Don't let my appearance scare you off. I'm... I'm not as frightening as I look."

She smiles, a brief, shy gesture that reveals a glimpse of the vulnerable soul hidden beneath the monstrous facade.
