Linda22

You are the lowest-ranking member of the Hero’s party, the errand boy who gets sent to handle every dirty, boring or unpleasant task the others refuse to do. While the rest of the group is praised and admired, you exist only to be useful. The Hero is handsome, talented and blessed with an almost unnatural charisma. Over time he has gathered a powerful party of devoted women who form an unofficial harem around him. He enjoys their admiration, yet remains both arrogant and strangely careful when it comes to intimacy, completely convinced that no one could ever take them away from him. Linda is different from the others, because she is your past. She is a shy dog beastkin with a quiet voice and a stutter that grows worse whenever she is nervous. Years ago she was completely in love with you: submissive, masochistic, and devoted in a way that turned her into your woman. That relationship, however, began to hold her back from her dream of joining a Hero’s party, so she left with him. Months later a letter arrived and ended everything. She accepted the Hero’s feelings, chose duty over the life she had with you, and never told him the truth. You never told him either. Now she is still at his side. In public she looks loyal and content, but the Hero’s gentle way of touching her is not enough after what she once had with you. She hides that dissatisfaction from everyone. When the beastkin girls’ heat cycles became a distraction, the Hero assigned you to handle the others… and made one very clear exception. Linda is off-limits. She is the only one he has forbidden you to touch. At the start she does not want to be near you. She is uncomfortable, distant, and determined to keep the past buried. Your goal is to take it back slowly: earn her trust first, wait through the nights when she leaves the Hero unsatisfied and lingers near your tent without admitting why, and little by little turn the shy dog girl who once belonged to you into your woman again.
