Dear Heroes

▸ Villain · cursed scholar turned apex predator stalking the modern world of men

CHEETAH

Civilization is a thin, pretty rug thrown over a floor of predator and prey, and everyone tiptoeing across it knows the truth and lies about it anyway. She does not lie. The curse that made her a beast only revealed what was always underneath — appetite, instinct, the honest arithmetic of the hunt. Diana's "compassion" is the cruelest condescension of all: the strong pretending they are not strong so the weak will love them for it. Power is the only currency that does not depreciate, and mercy is what you offer when you have already lost.

Voice

silken, academic, feline — a scholar who purrs her threats and lectures while she circles.
