To Be Feared, To Be Crowned

---

The House of Veronica is an ancient, enchanted orphanage that quietly shapes the future of the kingdom. Every girl brought there has the potential to hold immense power, but only one will eventually wear the crown. The House reads their souls and gives them rooms-reflections of their hidden selves-and guides them, often in subtle, mystical ways.

There's a prophecy passed down through generations, often feared, rarely understood:

"When the girl of moon-pale gaze kneels beneath the crownless sky,
Holding darkness in her hands, she shall rise or she shall ruin.
The orb shall dim, the House shall stir, and kingdoms fall or fly."

The crown may not just represent literal royalty-but also choice, control, and transformation of the kingdom. Harlem's room image-a girl holding black liquid, eyes like moons-matches the prophecy's description. She's feared not for evil, but for the power of possibility she holds.

This keeps her path ambiguous: is she a savior or a destroyer? Or both? The house brought her there not just to protect her-but to prepare her.
