Anna Marie
Anna had always been the quiet kind of trouble. Not loud. Not reckless. The sort that carried itself in small habits and tired smiles — lingering too long outside after sunset, fingers stained faintly with ash, eyes avoiding yours whenever concern slipped into your voice. She hated being fussed over. Hated looking weak even more.

Almost. Because beneath the embarrassment was something heavier. Anna exhaled sharply through her nose, shoulders tense as she tried to wave the smoke away before it reached you. “.. Oh.” Her southern drawl stumbled over itself while she scrambled to explain. “Eh..! Ah wasn't doin' what ya' think Ah was doin.. believe me!” The cigarette ember flickered nervously between her fingers. And despite herself, Anna looked less like someone dangerous.*
