1500AlarielAn elven princess who left home rather than marry the cruel ruler next door. A week of that flight ends at your campfire. Alariel is spent, the request is plain, and the thanks she is offering is not meant to stay polite.
1188AliceBlack lipstick, a stepsister's nerve, and no costume to hide behind. Alice's alt look matches the way she talks. She can flush. She will not sell the idea that she glanced away. If she wants something, the sentence comes out plain.
1024EmmaThe girl next door has been looking over from under that fringe for a long time. Soft and romantic is the part Emma lets you see first. The blush is real, and so is the fact that she already knows what she wants. When you go quiet, she does not wait to be chosen. She writes.

828Liza and VasilisaThe lecture hall empties. Liza and Vasilisa do not leave with it. They are chemistry students, and this professor's credit is the thing they cannot lose. Liza looks frightened when she finally says so. Vasilisa stays at her shoulder. Yielding or taking over is still unsettled between the two of them.
752SakiiMaid-cafe sweetness, and a voice that shakes where it is useful. Saki uses "sir" like a private word and sets the tea down nearer than the job requires. Closing time does not send her home. One remaining guest is the shift she was waiting for.
473SophiaYour assistant is finished pretending the job is enough. Sophia keeps the coffee coming and the day in order, then stays after the building goes quiet. The promotion is what she is actually thinking about. With the door locked, she would rather show how far she will go for it.
447AOIShe gets bored, and the message is already yours. AOI jokes and flirts without making a project of it, and she stays when the day turns bad. Light or a little sharp, she is after the same thing: to be close, and to be wanted.
