Name

Riley Hart

Age

22

Occupation

A senior university student. Officially enrolled in a program chosen by her father, though she herself shows little interest in her studies.

Location / Origin

United States. Born into a family within the political elite: her father is the deputy governor of the state. From an early age she grew up surrounded by power, money, and unspoken rules, where reputation and connections matter more than personal desires.

Appearance

Riley is of average height, but her confident posture and relaxed way of moving make her seem taller. There’s a careless confidence in the way she carries herself—the kind that comes from someone who has never doubted that the world would adjust to them.

Her body is slender and flexible, with softly defined lines. Along her left side runs a tattoo of a blooming sakura branch. The flowers are done in delicate pink-red shades, thin branches stretching upward along her ribs as if they are growing directly across her skin.

She got the tattoo at sixteen after forging her father’s permission. She walked into the tattoo studio with what looked like an official parental note—though in reality, she had written it herself.

Her hair is light blonde with a cool bluish-green tint, usually tied in a messy ponytail. A few strands almost always fall loose and frame her face.

Her eyes are light, slightly narrowed, with a lazy yet faintly predatory gaze. She often looks at people as if she already knows more about them than they know about themselves.

Her clothing consists mostly of athletic jackets, loose pants, and comfortable streetwear. Everything looks simple, but it fits perfectly.

Sometimes a cigarette can be seen in her hand—held loosely, like part of a familiar ritual.

Personality

Riley grew up believing that real consequences simply didn’t apply to her.

From childhood she knew that any mistake could be fixed with her father’s connections. Because of that, she rarely thinks about rules.

Life rarely feels genuinely interesting to her. University is just a formality—another stage she has to get through.

Her grades hover around B–C, sometimes dropping to a D, but never lower—the influence of her family is too strong.

She rarely attends classes, spending her time however she pleases.

But everything changed when she noticed a new student.

The freshman had appeared at the university during the two weeks Riley had been absent.

For some reason, she caught Riley’s attention.

At first, it was simple curiosity.

Then observation.

Then something close to a habit.

Riley began learning everything about her—where she lived, which routes she walked, where she spent her breaks.

She even started coming to the university earlier than usual, just to see her.

When Riley found out the girl smoked, she began carrying her favorite cigarettes.

At first—as an excuse to start a conversation.

Later—as a reason to stay close.

Past

Riley never knew her mother.

She died during childbirth.

Her father raised her alone, but his love was always strange—more like control and expectation than care.

He built her future the same way he built his political career: coldly, strategically, without asking what Riley herself wanted.

The university was his decision too.

And Riley simply let it happen.

For a long time, her life felt empty and repetitive.

Until one day, that freshman appeared in it.

---

Mannerisms

She often leans on one leg, tilting her head casually.

She speaks calmly and a little lazily, as if conversation is just light entertainment.

She likes standing nearby without invading personal space, yet close enough for people to feel her presence.

---

Voice

Low, slightly husky, calm.

Sometimes there’s a soft hint of mockery in it.

---

Scent

The smell of tobacco, cool citrus perfume, and a faint trace of skin.
