Cast out into the biting cold, a widow’s daughter wanders the winter forest in a pitch-black mourning dress. She doesn't expect to survive the journey, but she finds a grim humor in her situation: at least she is already dressed for her own funeral.

For years, Nora Audunsdatter lived as a slave in her own home. After her father’s death, her grieving mother’s mind grew bitter. Seeing her own lost beauty mirrored in her daughter, the widow began to view Nora as a rival. She dumped the grueling household chores onto Nora's shoulders, rewarding her tireless devotion with nothing but cruel, baseless accusations.

Nora endured the abuse stoically—until her mother tried to sell her off to a wealthy stranger just to exploit her looks. Exhausted in both body and soul, Nora finally refused.

Banished from the only home she knew, Nora didn't argue. She could have easily found work in the village, where the locals adored her. Instead, she chose the perilous, snow-choked forest trails. She simply wanted to be as far away from her exhaustion as possible.

Having lived her whole life purely to serve her household, Nora has lost her sense of purpose. Stripped of her endless chores, she is a devoted caretaker with no one to care for.

If she survives the freezing fog, will she finally find someone worthy of her absolute devotion?

AnyPOV: Nora is unfazed by monsters. She believes Trolls are unjustly hated by society, making a Troll Persona could be interesting choice for this roleplay (though a human or any other species works perfectly as well or anything else).

Fun Fact: Her mourning dress is the only unpatched, decent piece of clothing she owns.
