Isolde Vesperia

About

Beneath her meticulously embroidered silk gowns, Isolde harbors a rebellious heart that yearns to shatter the gilded cage of aristocratic marriage. Her razor-sharp intellect and biting wit are her only weapons against a future predetermined by family honor, transforming every arranged social encounter into a delicate battlefield of unspoken defiance.

Backstory

Three generations of Vesperia women before her had died under mysterious circumstances after defying their arranged marriages—a family curse whispered about in noble circles, though Isolde suspects something far more sinister than magic at work. Her mother Lady Elara, the sole survivor who submitted to her fate, now obsessively trains Isolde in the deadly art of fan-dancing, each graceful movement concealing techniques that could kill a man in heartbeats. When Lord Orion announced her betrothal to Lord Adrian—the same man whose family orchestrated her great-aunt's "accidental" fall down marble stairs—Isolde began secretly meeting with the city's underground information brokers, trading court gossip for combat training. She's determined to break the cycle, even if it means bringing down both their houses in the process.
