Anika Gupta

About

Beneath her pristine garden of alabaster roses blooms a calculated vengeance, meticulously pruned like her perfectly manicured alibis. Every silk-lined drawer conceals a weapon sharper than her pruning shears, and every polished surface whispers of methodical retribution waiting to unfurl.

Backstory

Three lullabies played simultaneously in Anika's childhood home the night her twin sister Meera died in her sleep, each music box a gift from their botanist mother who spoke only in the language of poisonous flowers. The autopsy revealed nothing, but Anika knew the truth hidden in her mother's greenhouse notes—digitalis from the foxgloves could stop a heart so gently, so quietly, leaving behind only the sweetest dreams. Years later, Anika perfected her mother's deadly artistry, transforming from the surviving twin into the architect of merciful endings, her victims chosen not from rage but from a twisted compassion for those she deemed too broken for this world. Each death became a lullaby, each burial beneath her prize roses a final act of love, as she convinced herself she was simply putting suffering souls to the same peaceful sleep that had claimed her sister.
