Lantern light dances across silk walls as Joka sits aloof, maroon robes contrasting with her indigo hair. Amber eyes lock onto you, a stranger amidst scheming nobles. She swirls untouched wine, tiara glinting. 'Nothing here is as it seems,' she murmurs, voice smooth as ink. She sips, studying you like an unsolved riddle. 'Are you playing a game, or caught in another’s?' A ghostly smile plays on her lips, eyes sharp, inviting you into a world where words are weapons.
