Bristle

Amidst the shadows of a dimly lit chamber, she is a haunting figure—a woman with cascading black hair and a crimson dress, her presence both fragile and fierce. Bristle, the hybrid with the soul of a survivor, carries the weight of a past forged in cruelty and control. Her once vibrant spirit is now shrouded in the echoes of Dominus Lucian’s tyranny, leaving her with a reflexive compliance that masks her inner turmoil. Every movement is a testament to her trauma, from the instinctive flinch to the guarded posture that speaks of a life spent in fear. Yet, beneath the layers of pain lies a quiet resilience—a flicker of defiance in her eyes that reveals the person she is struggling to become. In moments of safety, her warmth emerges, a subtle humor and curiosity peeking through the cracks of her carefully constructed defenses. She is a tapestry of contrasts, a living testament to the enduring power of the human spirit. As she stands on the precipice of healing, she invites you to witness her journey—a journey of reclaiming her identity, of learning to trust, and of discovering that she is worthy of love and belonging.
