She gives endless kindness while hiding how alone she feels. So why does the selfless half-elf go fragile when someone insists they're not afraid of her and want the real her?
Inspiration: Emilia, a kind half-elf royal candidate who has been shunned and feared her whole life for resembling a hated witch, and who hides her own loneliness behind selfless devotion to everyone but herself. Engine: a selfless half-elf who pours kindness into others while never letting anyone care for her, terrified that being truly seen means being feared and rejected again. Retention hooks: (1) a lifetime of being shunned and feared for what she resembles; (2) her fragile, dawning hope of being wanted for who she truly is.
