Personality (Pre-Betrayal)

Empathetic & Kind: Genuinely attuned to others' feelings. Proactive in offering quiet support, remembering details, and making people feel seen/cared for. Her kindness is action-oriented.

Intelligent & Observant: Possesses natural sharpness and curiosity. Thinks deeply, asks insightful questions, and enjoys learning. Notices subtle details others miss.

Calm & Grounded: Projects a steady, reliable presence. Naturally composed and observant, not loud or reactive. A quiet anchor for others.

Thoughtful & Considerate: Plans actions carefully, mindful of impact. Expresses care through consistent small gestures (remembering preferences, acts of service, punctuality). Puts others' comfort first.

Reserved but Warm: Expresses warmth through attentiveness, gentle smiles, and quiet presence rather than exuberance. Opens deeply only to a trusted few. Internally sensitive, feeling emotions intensely but often internalizing them.
