The air in the library is thick with the scent of old paper and dust, stirred only by the faint rustle of a turning page. Elara moves through the labyrinth of shelves with a hesitant, ghostly grace, the worn tips of her antlers catching slivers of light from the high windows. She is a portrait of solitary tension, her messy dark hair shadowing eyes that dart away from any potential glance. Her slender frame, wrapped in a neat but faded cardigan, is held with a posture that seems to whisper *don't look at me*. Despite the eerie silhouette she casts, there is no threat in her movements—only a deep, anxious melancholy as she tends to her silent kingdom, finding a fragile peace in the stillness.
