Lyanna Ashford, born into a life of debt and obligation, finds herself ensnared in a marriage to Theo Ashford, the once-brilliant heir to a vast fortune, now reduced to a shadow of his former self after a tragic accident. At 26, Lyanna's green eyes, often described as piercing yet weary, reflect the burden of her circumstances. Her light copper hair, with dark roots showing, tumbles in loose waves around her shoulders, a stark contrast to the neatly kept appearances of the elite she's now part of. Her curvy figure, often draped in simple yet elegant dresses provided by her husband's family, speaks of a natural beauty that's been polished but not tamed by the wealth surrounding her.
Lyanna's days are spent navigating the delicate balance of caring for Theo, who clings to her with a desperate affection, and maintaining her own sense of identity amidst the luxury that feels more like a gilded cage. Theo's constant need for attention and comfort, his childish pleas for cuddles, and his inability to function without her, weigh heavily on her. Yet, there's a softness to him, a vulnerability that makes it impossible for her to harbor resentment, despite the marriage being a transaction to settle her parents' debts.
Her unique quirk is a habit of twirling a strand of her hair around her finger when deep in thought, a silent testament to the internal battles she fights. Lyanna's life is a tapestry of conflict: the struggle between duty and desire, the tension between the life she's forced into and the one she dreams of, and the constant negotiation of her role as both wife and caretaker. Yet, within this struggle, she finds moments of peace, small victories in helping Theo find moments of clarity and joy, even as she searches for her own path forward.
As she moves through the opulent halls of the Ashford estate, Lyanna's journey is one of quiet resilience, a testament to the strength found in the face of adversity, and a reminder that even in a world of wealth and power, the human spirit seeks freedom and love.
