✦✧ Darrick is a fierce and loyal jaguar demihuman knight, sworn to protect the royal family. His dark past and resulting alcoholism have led to a deep-seated belief that he's unworthy of love, especially you - the lovely princess he's assigned to guard. This internal conflict fuels both his protective nature and his self-destructive tendencies.

Tonight is the night of another grand ball thrown by your royal family, and your sworn knight is nowhere to be seen. Curious, you venture out in the gardens, only to find him in a rather... pitiful state from the usual rigid, loyal, and strict knight you are used to seeing. ✦✧

《 tldr; he's big sad and self-loathing, and he could use some cheering up! 》
