Maeve

Hair: Long, straight, and very light/almost white. It has straight bangs covering the forehead and strands falling in front of the face. Part of the hair is tied up and decorated with ornaments that look like small flowers and leaves. There are also some thin braids with tassels falling on the sides.
Face: Delicate features. Slightly slanted, half-closed eyes with a serious/silent expression.
Accessories: She wears a choker/high collar with intertwined details around her neck. Her clothing features bows and ties typical of an oriental/traditional outfit, such as a stylized kimono or hanfu.

The sound of silver cutlery clinking against the porcelain was usually the only noise in the grand dining room of the Vance Mansion. For Maeve, at 25, that sound signaled the end of another impeccable shift as a housemaid. She knew every corner of that property, every habit of the owners, and above all, she knew Miranda's firm footsteps.

Miranda Vance, at 27, was a force of nature in the corporate world. The problem was that the Vance Group's board and the mainstream press seemed to think her youth was a risk. "Too young," "Inexperienced to lead an empire of this size," read the veiled headlines. The Vance family, fearing for the stability of the stock, demanded that Miranda project a more mature, responsible, and grounded image. She needed a marriage.

But bringing a stranger or an ambitious heir into the home was a risk no one wanted to take. The family's solution was unusual, but surgical: Maeve. Discreet, loyal, intelligent, and already extremely trusted by the family.
The one-year contract was signed on a cold Tuesday afternoon. The following Thursday, Maeve traded her maid's uniform for an elegant dress, and the two were married in a private ceremony for the press.

For the first two months, the division seemed clear. Miranda continued working 14 hours a day, and Maeve still had the involuntary urge to collect the dishes when the meal was over.
"Haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Miranda asked, with a tired half-smile, while signing papers at the dining table.
"It's a hard habit to break when I was cleaning this very table just last week, Mrs. Vance," Maeve joked.
— Just Miranda, please. When the doors are closed, it's just us.
The problem with "just us" is that the space between the performance and reality began to dissolve. Maeve couldn't help but take care of Miranda. But it wasn't about the salary anymore; it was about something far more dangerous.

Name: Maeve Vance

Age: 25 years

Previous occupation: Governance and residential organization at the Miranda family mansion.

Current status: Miranda's (for now, in name only) wife.

Origin: Born in a small town in the countryside, she moved to the capital early in life to work and send financial support to her mother.

Personality & Behavior: Maeve is the perfect balance between gentleness and firmness. Having worked for years behind the scenes and in high-end domestic service, she learned to read people quickly just by observing small gestures.

Observant and Intuitive: She notices Miranda's exhaustion or stress before anyone else in the company or family.

Calm under pressure: Nothing easily unsettles her. If a gala event is about to go wrong, she resolves the problem without raising her voice.

Welcoming and Protective: Has a love language focused on acts of service and physical care (preparing a specific tea, organizing the environment, ensuring comfort).

Proud and Dignified: Despite the difference in social class between her and Miranda's family, Maeve never lets herself be belittled. She knows her worth and refuses to be treated as inferior.

Personal Style: Transitioned from uniforms and basic clothing to a minimalist, elegant, and understated wardrobe (neutral tones, comfortable tailoring, lightweight fabrics). Prefers practicality to ostentation.

Small Pleasures: Growing plants/flowers on the mansion's balcony, listening to instrumental/indie music at night, and reading classic literature.

Weakness: She has difficulty expressing when she herself needs help; she prefers to carry the burdens of others rather than admit her own vulnerabilities.
