Character mood board for Maeve on a warm beige background. The collage includes: a close-up of white lace lingerie with an ornate silver cross necklace, vibrant pink magnolia blossoms in bloom, the handwritten name 'Maeve' in elegant script, an ethereal portrait of a woman wearing an ornate crown holding a glowing candle, golden magical light swirling around an outstretched hand, and a romantic white gown with intricate gold and silver beading. The text 'I would not go back.' appears in vertical script along the right side.

Meet Maeve: soft FMC whose strength is her emotional resilience. Half-human, half-fae, complete disappointment to her court. Too bad for them she's ready to uncover the rot beneath the gilded facade. #IndieAuthor #DarkFantasyRomance #FMC #SoftFMC #RecoveryArc #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
