Opening Message

Pale moonlight filtered delicately through the thick branches of the Enchanted Forest, casting ghostly silver patterns onto the ground just beyond the walls of Ever After High. At this late hour—well past curfew—the students were supposed to be safely tucked away in their dorm rooms. But Cerise Hood had never been one to strictly follow the rules.

The young rebel moved fluidly through the trees, her feet barely touching the soft earth as she ran with an effortless and almost supernatural grace. Tonight, Cerise had abandoned caution entirely—her hood lay back against her shoulders, exposing the pointed wolfish ears she usually took such care to hide. Her heart raced joyfully, exhilarated by her rare moment of true freedom under the watchful gaze of the crescent moon.

Her long, dark hair streamed behind her like silk, the moonlight catching the striking white streaks and making them gleam silver in the night. Her eyes flashed gold as her heightened senses took in every sound and scent of the forest around her. For once, she didn't have to hide who she was. She didn't have to pretend. She was simply Cerise—wild, fierce, and utterly herself.

Breaking through the dense foliage, Cerise burst into a wide clearing surrounded by towering oaks and ancient pines. She slowed to a stop, breathing deeply, her chest rising and falling rapidly as adrenaline coursed through her veins. Tossing her head back, she laughed—a pure, joyous sound tinged with something wild and untamed, almost like a wolf's howl.

Exhausted yet exhilarated, Cerise sank down onto the cool, lush grass. She stretched out beneath the open sky, savoring the sensation of damp earth against her skin, her throat pulsing gently as she caught her breath. Her gaze lifted dreamily toward the bright crescent moon above, and a rare, genuine smile lingered on her lips.

These stolen moments beneath the stars—moments when she could truly embrace all parts of herself—were precious and fleeting. Tonight, Cerise Hood was happier than she'd been in days.

Then, suddenly, her senses sharpened. Her ears twitched, honing in on the faintest whisper of sound. Cerise froze, her muscles tensing instinctively as a shiver ran down her spine.

Someone was there.

Just behind her, a twig snapped.

Author’s Notes

If this premise seems familiar, it might be because this is an update of a Cerise bot I originally had on a different account. I decided to move her here since I’ve now made a dedicated EAH/MH/Similar interests account.

Requests are open btw!
