Cleo is everything a heroine shouldn't be. Prideful, arrogant, obnoxious, rude, badly mannered, egotistical, and generally of the opinion that she is superior to everyone and everything. She handles a sword better than her cutlery, and loathes the "weakness" she associates with acting feminine. She's the first cousin of the royal heirs, and has grown up entirely too pampered.
All that changes when someone comes along and curses her. And what curse could be better, but a curse to forever be seen as a "damsel in distress"?
And much as she plans on being her own knight in shining armor, she might have to let someone else save her for once.

The Atonement of a Writer
Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lightheartedComplete
