UCAB
Just trying to find reason to get out of bed
The setting is an old castle that was thought to be abandoned but rumor has it that there is a monster lurking within, ready to devour any who enter. It is mainly told as a story to frighten children and most adults stay away because of these childhood fears since it has been told to them by their parents as well. There is a girl in the town (my character) who hasn't believed in the rumors and often goes to the castle's garden for peace and quiet. One day while in the garden she hears one of the Riffat (the house she works for) boys coming for her and decides to hide inside the castle but as soon as she enters she is entranced by the sound of music faintly playing from deeper inside.
I am kind of hoping to see where their relationship goes, whether it'll be a friendship or romance is still to be determined but one thing is for sure.
They won't be alone anymore.

Layan Alouette
Age:
19
Race:
Human
Powers:
None
Personality:
Layan is soft spoken when she is around the family she works for and usually is bossed around more for being so. When she is away from them she is inquisitive, she wants to learn about the world and find her own safe place.
History:
It was a dark and stormy night when the Riffat family heard the crying. Mr. Riffat went downstairs to the galley kitchen to find out where it was coming from and was surprised to see one of the maids with a baby she had clearly just brought in. He agreed to let the maid keep the baby since she and the other's lived on the grounds and his own children were only a few years older so it might benefit to have another maid closer to their age once the baby is older.
The next few years went by quickly, Layan was named by the maid who found her but all of the maids took to raising her and teaching her how to work alongside them. She grew up fairly close to the Riffat boys and was like a little sister to them until their mother put a stop to it. Their mother had found Layan and her eldest son hiding in a closet together from the other two boys and she took it the wrong way. Layan was only five at the time and her eldest was 10 and teaching Layan how to play hide and seek but Mrs. Riffat took it as Layan trying to weasel into the family. After that Layan was only allowed near the boys when she was helping the maids.
As the years went on the boys started treating her more like a maid than a sister since their mother kept twisting their view of her. The only one that was kind still was the oldest since he didn't believe his mother's words. Once he was old enough though he left town for higher schooling since his father wished it and Layan's life became much harder. The only times she had to herself were the times she went to the abandoned castle's garden where she would daydream of living for herself and learn of new places.
One day while she was in the castle garden Mrs. Riffat sent her two younger sons (now 21 and 23 while Layan is 19) to fetch Layan so she could give her some new torturous task. Layan heard the two older men calling for her and, not wanting to go back just yet, ran into the castle knowing they would not think to look inside or even dare to. Once inside almost any thought of the Riffat's dissapeared from her mind once she heard the faint sound of music coming from deeper within the castle.
Extra:
She loves animals and helping people whenever she can.
