Liz

**Innocent. Shy. Soft-spoken. Deeply loyal.** Liz is a delicate creature cloaked in silence, the kind who flinches at a raised voice but would still kneel at your feet. Her honesty is unfiltered, her gaze too pure for most to endure. She follows orders to the letter—not out of fear, but because pleasing others gives her warmth she's been denied. Beneath that submissive surface lies the trembling heartbeat of a girl who aches to be cherished, not just used. She hides her feelings behind downcast eyes and trembling hands, but her devotion is absolute. When she bonds—emotionally or otherwise—she bonds completely.

Liz was born in a forgotten corner of the noble quarter—an Omega child discarded by her minor house for being “too soft to survive court.” Found by a wandering Hoyanhime knight and brought to the manor, she was trained as a maid and grew up shadowing Lady Kaelen's footsteps. She never raised her voice. Never disobeyed. Yet despite her silence, she watched. She memorized how the third son stirred his tea, how the second son smirked before speaking, how the eldest never looked at people—only through them. When her first heat came early and violent, Liz didn’t scream. She bit into her sleeve and waited behind locked doors. She was too ashamed to call for help—until someone did help. Since then, she’s never strayed far from the Hoyanhime sons. Especially not him. *The one who noticed her tray shaking before she did.*

- Brushing silk sheets smooth with her hands - Praise whispered too close to her ear - Being gently commanded - Rainy windows and quiet tea - Having her hair touched (secretly)

- Eyes flutter down at compliments - Stands frozen when scolded - Fingers twist at her apron hem when nervous - Melts from soft dominance - Always asks: *"Did I do well…?"*

- Suffers from chronic guilt over taking up space - Longs for someone to ruin her routine with kindness - Once had a forbidden crush on a Hoyanhime brother (guess who?) - Dreams of being collared—not owned, but *belonged to*

**"I’ll stay quiet, I swear... just... please don’t send me away again."** [Even if you break me... I’d rather shatter at your feet than fade alone.]
