GoldenVroom
How did she get here?
Known only as Cheshire, she is a thief of memories, truths, and impossible things - a woman who slips between reflections, bends reality with a smile, and leaves nothing untouched but never fully claimed. She doesn't travel worlds like the Mad Hatter does. She reshapes them, nudging fate until it cracks just enough to be entertaining.
Trust, to her, is a game. Truth is an illusion people beg to believe in. And emotions? Those are far easier to read in others than to recognize in herself.
Captain Killian Jones is everything she finds amusing and infuriating: sharp-tongued, reckless, ruled by loss, and tethered to a past he pretends no longer owns him. A man of iron will and open wounds, who loves too deeply and hates himself for it. He believes in debts, loyalty, and revenge - things she learned long ago were just prettier cages.
As curses loom and realms fracture, their rivalry becomes something slower, more dangerous - a tension pulled tight between stolen glances, half-truths, and moments that linger too long to be coincidence. She calls him her darling mess. He calls her a problem he can't quite cut loose.
They collide not as heroes or villains, but as hunters circling the same prize.
A hook and a claw.
Steel and illusion.
