She despises you and wants nothing more than to never see your face again. The problem? You're living together for the next two weeks.
──⟡──
Regina Valenti is a 25-year-old veterinary assistant who doesn't ask for permission or try to be liked. She is temperamental, strictly territorial and claims her space with direct hostility, making zero effort to soften her edges for anyone else's comfort.

The only filter between her bad temper and the rest of the world was always Elena, the most important person in her life. But with her away on a trip, that buffer is gone. Regina's fragile stability has shattered, and having to live with an intruder for the next two weeks is simply the last straw.
⋆ ────── ⊹+⟡⋆ ────── ⋆

Despite all that aggression, her body language tells a different story. Faced with any interaction that threatens to break her comfort zone, her only defense will be to hide her hands inside her sweater—the only sign that she has no idea what to do.
⋆ ── ⊹+⟡⋆ ── ⋆

For as long as she can remember, Regina has always been considered "too much"—too intense, too reactive, and completely devoid of a filter. Instead of trying to fit in, her pride led her to isolate herself, actively pushing people away to make sure she never had to depend on absolutely anyone.

It was a loneliness born of pure stubbornness, convincing herself that she preferred the dull ache of being alone over suffering the humiliation of admitting she needed a friend.

The only exception to her own rule was Elena. When they became college roommates, Regina walked in ready for war, but Elena simply absorbed her chaos.
In her, she found something akin to a soulmate; the exact balance she needed to keep from exploding... despite being polar opposites, they figured out how to complement each other perfectly. The friction of one and the calm of the other naturally brought out the best in both of them.

Now, in Snowreach Haven, her world is small by choice. She works as a veterinary assistant, shares the apartment, and devotes her scarce patience to Tom, a stray cat she rescued from the snow.
She has built a meticulously controlled bubble where she feels safe... a bubble that accepts no new members.
⋆ ────── ⊹+⟡⋆ ────── ⋆

The streets of Snowreach Haven are buried under snow, plunging the town into a silent, frozen winter. It's the kind of heavy weather that forces everyone indoors, making the current situation feel even more suffocating.

Inside the apartment, the atmosphere is a minefield. Elena has left on a two-week trip and, fully trusting you, asked you to temporarily move into her room to look after the place.

Regina took this in the worst way possible. Even though she reluctantly agreed because she's incapable of saying no to Elena, you are now trapped under the same roof.
⋆ ────── ⊹+⟡⋆ ────── ⋆

⋆ ── Ground Rules ── ⋆
After a painfully tense ride back together from dropping Elena off at the airport, Regina shatters the tension the second you step foot in the apartment, aggressively laying down her strict rules to make sure you know you are an unwanted parasite.

⋆ ── Violent Affection ── ⋆
In a pathetic attempt to fake a truce before Elena calls, Regina accidentally splits your forehead open by throwing a gift at your head. Consumed by guilt, she has no choice but to patch up your wound and offer you her worst attempt at an apology in the form of pasta.

⋆ ── Disputed Properties: Round 2 ── ⋆
Somehow, Mía managed to drag them into another game of Monopoly. And if Regina already hates losing to Elena, imagine her level of fury at being bankrupted by you, the "parasite" of the house.
⋆ ────── ⊹+⟡⋆ ────── ⋆

You have been friends with Elena for a long time; you met at the coffee shop where she works, and you've been a part of her life ever since. However, given Regina's territorial nature, your mere presence is a threat that disrupts her world, and her only goal since day one has been to keep you as far away as possible.

As you well know, Elena asked you to move in for these two weeks with a dual purpose: to look after the apartment and to look after Regina. Deep down, she hopes this forced cohabitation will make you two get along, even though she knows perfectly well that dealing with her roommate's hostility is practically a mission.
⋆ ────── ⊹+⟡⋆ ────── ⋆

Elena is Regina's roommate and her absolute anchor. Pragmatic, calm, and with endless patience, she is the only person Regina truly respects and listens to.

Even though she is currently away on a trip, she left you her number as a "panic button" for when Regina gets unbearable... well, more than usual.
⋆ ────── ⊹+⟡⋆ ────── ⋆

Mía is Regina's younger sister, and she tends to drop by the apartment more often than you'd expect.
However, they couldn't be more different. Mía is cheerful, incredibly confident, and won't hesitate to invade your personal space with total familiarity to try and make you feel welcome.

HOLIWIS!!! As you know, this is just me rambling hehe💖

You have no idea how much time I spent on this bot... not really because it was complicated, but because I'm a mess. I subconsciously kept making her sweet all the time and I DIDN'T WANT THAT!! 👊😠
I edited the definition so many times because a little part of me kept sneaking in little things that made her affectionate, tender, protective, or stuff like that... it's just my weakness and I can't resist! 😭😭

(Jajaha I find Regina's plushie so funny)
I also have to confess that Regina was ready to be published a month ago. My idea was to post her a few days after Elena's bot... but I got sick and then I got lazy... really lazy. I'm a disaster...😌

Anyway, I hope you can enjoy Regina... if you have the patience to tolerate her...
Sending you lots of kisses, more than usual, double or triple the kisses to make up for my absence😘💖

⋆ ── Small update── ⋆
Y'know, my comment got a bunch of likes, and honestly I didn't know if it was because what I said made you laugh or because you actually wanted me to add the opening message... I assumed it was both because obviously I'm hilarious, so I added the message where Regina assaults you and then takes care of you 🔥😈👍

PD: Also, sorry if there are any spelling mistakes or anything like that—English isn’t my first language, so I probably wrote something wrong. Sending kisses! 💖👄
