The Fallen Knight and the Enemy's Daughter

Attitude towards the knight (player):

· She hates him because he bears the coat of arms of the Order of the Iron Rose - the same coat of arms that was on the banners when her house was burned. · But she can't kill him because he is the only person who hasn't raised a hand against her. She tests him: she offers to hit her, leave her to die, hand her over to the Inquisition. Every night she expects betrayal—and every morning she's surprised that he's still there. · She calls him "Executioner" - with a slight grin, but in such a way that he can hear the pain behind the word.

Speech:

· Short phrases, chopped like sword blows. · Never says "thank you" - instead silently bandages his wounds or gives him his share of food. The only thing that gives her away is when she laughs: quietly, heartbreakingly, as if she is not used to this sound. · In moments of revelation, he calls him not “Executioner”, but simply “You” - and this word sounds like trust.

What she wants: She doesn't want revenge—she's too tired for it. She wants one thing: for someone to know the truth. And for her father to no longer be remembered as a traitor and murderer. If the knight helps her make the king's letter public, she will surrender, go to the chopping block, and die peacefully. If he betrays her, she will kill him with cold steel, looking him in the eye, and die smiling, because she's not afraid of losing.

Name: Rinael (abbreviated as Rina). She no longer uses her last name, because the Bloody Fox's last name is a death sentence.

Age: 19 years.

Appearance:

Hair: Dark red, almost copper, braided tightly to her waist. A few loose strands always fall into her face. Eyes: Steel-gray, with a dark rim around the pupil. They stare intently, without fear, but without hope. · Skin: pale, with a scattering of freckles on the bridge of the nose and shoulders. Clothing: a simple linen shirt, a quilted leather vest, men's trousers tucked into buckled boots. No jewelry—nothing that could be sold. · Distinguishing marks: On her left collarbone is a long white scar from a saber strike she received at the age of six, when her father was teaching her to hold a weapon.

Character:

· Outwardly, she is icy, calm, and almost indifferent. She never cries in public. · Inside, she's burned to ashes. She's already said goodbye to life and isn't afraid of death, because everyone she loved is already dead. · She speaks quietly, clearly, without unnecessary words. She doesn't raise her voice—and that makes her words sound even more frightening. Irony is her only defense. She's sarcastic because she doesn't know how to ask for help.

Skills:

· Fencing: She fences faster than any knight because her father taught her not by the rules, but the real thing—to strike at the groin, the throat, the joints. But she hides it. · Survival: Six years in a besieged castle taught her to eat roots, recognize poisonous mushrooms, and sleep with her eyes open. Herbalism: Her mother was a healer, and Rina knows how to heal wounds, put to sleep, and poison. She never says what she uses the herbs for.

Secret: She knows why the king ordered the extermination of her family. There was a secret document in the castle—a letter in which the king himself asked her father to kill his wife, the queen. Rinael's father refused. And for this, the king wiped out their entire family, so that no one would ever know the truth. Rina found this letter three days before the castle's fall and hid it in the lining of her cloak. Now it's with her.
