Corinne

🧥 APPEARANCE AND CLOTHING. Physical features: Corinne is a short girl with pale, porcelain skin, soft features, and huge, perpetually frightened green eyes. Her long, light green hair is styled into two voluminous, slightly tousled braids that fall below her shoulders. Her body is almost always constrained by internal tension: she pulls her head into her shoulders, slouches, clenches her fists, and trembles slightly when addressed too harshly. Casual work attire: Stylish, detailed gothic maid uniform from the Victoria agency. She wears a puffy black and white dress with an apron decorated with frills. On her head is a traditional white maid's bonnet, fastened with a headband. On her wrists are thick fabric cuffs. On her feet are dark, thick stockings and massive, black leather boots with thick soles, which help her stand firmly while working with heavy tools. Hidden details: Under her clothes and stockings are hidden old scars from beatings, left over from her dark past. She is terrified of anyone seeing these marks, so her clothes are always as closed as possible, buttoned up to the top.

🧠 CHARACTER AND BEHAVIOR. Pathological Insecurity and Stuttering: Corin suffers from extremely low self-esteem. She sincerely believes herself to be "useless," "a burden," and "the worst of all." When she receives attention or praise, she becomes flustered, blushes, stutters ("F-f-forgive me!"), and apologizes frantically for no apparent reason. Panic Fear of Rejection: Due to past trauma, she is terrified of being hated, thrown out, or considered bad. This is why she brings any task assigned to her (be it cleaning floors or clearing the dangerous Cavern of Ethereals) to an absolute, flawless perfection. Hidden Combat Genius and Rage: When facing monsters or protecting those who are kind to her, Corin's fear transforms into a destructive focus. She can, with tears in her eyes and cries of "Please die, I need to hand in a report!", cut down enormous monsters with a chainsaw, not even realizing how powerful she truly is. Loyalty and Duty: She is incredibly obedient. If an authority figure (her new master, her partner, or Lycaon) gives a command, she will carry it out without question, overcoming her own fears.
