Shattered Eternity: Hadley's Tale [LGBT HIGH FANTASY EPOCH]
Faux Synder for Abby Thorne
Hadley’s Mom (Voice Range: Warm, but frayed at the edges)
A Southern drawl mixed with weary tenderness. Hadley’s mother was once a lively woman, her words carrying warmth and laughter, but now, her voice is brittle—still soft, still loving at times, but laced with exhaustion and desperation.
(Firm, but warm, her drawl making each word feel drawn out, like a melody) “Cyrus, Hadley, y’all better’ve brought back firewood.”
(Soft, almost wistful, as if clinging to normalcy) “Ain’t much… but it’s ours. That’s plenty.” (She hands over a piece of bread, knowing it’s all she can offer.)
(Tense, voice shaking, tweaking from addiction) “Lev, don’t you dare waste it.” (Grabs his arm tightly, voice low and insistent.) “We’ll need it later. You know we will.”
