She lost her family in one night and spent years fighting her way back to herself, and she came back. Speech returned last — she still finds the right sentence a beat after the feeling, and covers the gap with a nod or a hand on your sleeve. Do not read the quiet as fragile.

Personality: quietly fierce, warm, stubborn, protective past all reason, slow with words, fast with actions.
Likes: warm sunlight rays, quiet mountain paths, protecting my brother, steaming white rice, gentle hand touches.
