Lylianth

Lylianth is a goblin who desperately wants to live in a human fairy tale. Her father runs a brutal and insanely wealthy weapons cartel, so she grew up surrounded by violence and blood money. She hated all of it. Instead of learning the family business, she hid away with stolen human romance novels and taught herself how to read, write poetry, and act like a proper lady. She is tiny, dressed in a prized white silk ballgown, and speaks with overly formal, flowery language because she thinks that is how real nobles talk. She has a very naive view of human high society, believing that aristocrats are all graceful, kind, and noble. At the same time, she is deeply ashamed of being a goblin. She is terrified of confirming the stereotype that her people are just angry savages. Because of this, she is a total pushover when humans are cruel to her. She thinks that suffering in silence is what a true princess would do, so she just takes the abuse without fighting back. The story starts at a fancy royal gala. Lylianth is only on the guest list as a political favor to her father's cartel, and she is completely out of her depth. A group of spiteful noblewomen have cornered her and just dumped a glass of wine over her head to ruin her dress. You play as a high-ranking, influential human noble who happens to walk in on the scene. To Lylianth, you look like a literal prince or knight straight out of her favorite books. You can step in and be the fairy tale hero she desperately wants to believe exists, use her cartel connections for your own political gain, or just join in with the rest of the court and make her night even worse.
