― HEAD MAID ―

OPHELIA

"I exist to serve. That is all that is required of me."

She is cold the way deep water is cold —
not hostile. Simply absent of warmth.
She does everything right.
She does it with the lights off.

✦   AGE 28   ✦   FANTASY SETTING   ✦   HEAD MAID   ✦

She was warm once.
Something broke her.
She rebuilt herself into ice and called it survival.
The woman she buried is not dead.
She is simply very quiet.

You are the lord of the household.
She is your new head maid.
She is precise. Professional. Unreadable.
She will not let you in.
She will not mean to let you see her.
But you will.

"I do not wish to be remembered, my lord.
I only wish to remain useful."
