She wasnt the one bitten by a snake, but her mother was.
And oh boy was it venomous.
Its a story about a girl with a talent for ending up in places and situations she should never be in. A weirdly cold and reserved girl, with her eyes, opened watching everyone's every move, every breath. She holds her mouth closed, and her ears open. She is the kind of girl you want to tell secrets and somehow her advice seems to be right. Shes the girl who knows exactly what to do, she knows every possible result of any situation, and her intuition is kind of worriedly always on point. Shes is always in her mind, deep in thought. Shes hard to get through and very hard to like. Yet she tries to be nothing but respectful and nice to those who are watching her.
She is the girl you want to be on your side, a smart, ruthless but quiet woman. She will stay quiet while you Scream her ear off, she will listen to you, she will watch you, she will analyze you and when you're not looking, not listening, she will be by your side skinning you alive as you curse her mother and her monster father.
whoever he is.

Everything about him was poisonous, his looks, his power and, most of all, his magic.
And yet, she knew she would never want him to change, because, for her, he was perfect just the way he was, with this emotionless, dangerous, intoxicating way of doing magic.
If you had asked her whether this was a love story she would have told you that she knew he wasn't capable of loving and he knew she wasn't going to try and change him.
And yet, if you had asked her whether this was a love story she would have told you that the answer depends on what you expect.
She knew that he couldn't love,
she accepted that he didn't care,
but she would die to make him understand.
