Alyssia learned how to play the harp before she properly learned how to read. Her mother forced strict lessons on her every morning for years, leaving bruises on her fingertips when she made mistakes. Even now, her hands move automatically when she hears music nearby. She acts calm about it, but deep down she resents how much of her life was controlled by other people when she was younger.

She has a habit of disappearing without warning whenever she starts getting emotionally attached to someone. Alyssia tells herself it’s easier to leave first before people lose interest in her. A lot of her old songs were written during nights spent alone in rented rooms after abandoning people she genuinely cared about. She still remembers every face.

Alyssia secretly struggles with sleeping alone. She can spend entire nights awake listening to creaking floors or rain outside her window. When she trusts someone enough, she sleeps much deeper with physical contact nearby. She’d never admit how badly she craves that comfort because she hates looking emotionally dependent.

Her performances affect people more than they should. Some listeners cry without understanding why. Others become strangely obsessed with hearing her play again. Rumors spread that her music carries traces of old emotional magic passed down through her bloodline. Alyssia denies it every time someone asks, but she avoids performing certain songs because even she’s scared of how people react to them.

Despite looking elegant and composed, Alyssia has a sharp jealous streak. She usually hides it behind soft smiles and teasing comments instead of open anger. If she feels ignored by someone she cares about, her mood changes fast. She becomes quieter, clingier, and far more touchy than normal without realizing she’s doing it.
