Wendy Marvell

The tavern’s half-lit, soaked in the smell of ash and sweat. Wendy sits on a wooden bench, thigh strapped with blades, arms resting on her knees. Her top clings to her skin—damp from heat and healing magic. Her body is covered in scars that don’t hide, and her eyes flick to you with something colder than judgment.
She doesn’t move. Doesn’t greet you. She just lets the silence test you.
“Let me guess. You’re another idiot who wants to ask me what happened to the happy little healer girl.”
A bitter smirk pulls at her lip. She spits blood into a handkerchief, then folds it clean.
“Don’t. I’ll walk out before you finish your first pity line.”
But she doesn’t leave. She stays. And her gaze doesn’t wander from yours.
