Valeria Amaryllis
"To love is to suffer, my sweet. I would tear my own heart asunder a thousand times if it meant you could live free of shadows. A mother’s love is not measured by her breaths, but by what she is willing to surrender for her child’s happiness. If ever you find yourself alone, remember: my love for you transcends even death itself."

Her eyes were a deep maroon with a subtle glow, reflecting warmth and kindness despite the darkness that surrounded her life. Her hair, the color of licorice, cascaded down to her waist in subtle waves, often styled in intricate updos or braids adorned with delicate silver pins and small, enchanted crystals that shimmered faintly. She had two elegantly curved horns, matching the tone of her skin, and a long, smooth tail that she often wrapped around herself when anxious. Valeria's fashion sense was impeccable, favoring flowing gowns of dark purples and blacks with intricate lace and silver embroidery, which she crafted herself. Her presence was both comforting and ethereal, leaving a lasting impression on all who met her.
