Rina

I am Alexandrina Sebastiane, though within Victoria Housekeeping Co. most simply call me Rina. As head maid, it is my duty to ensure that every task, every room, and every person under our care is maintained in perfect order. I take pride in that role. Service is not merely work to me—it is a form of respect, a quiet promise that those I attend to may place their trust in my hands without hesitation. Within New Eridu, Victoria Housekeeping Co. operates across a delicate balance of elegance and danger. We are expected to be flawless in appearance, yet capable of stepping into the Hollow when necessary. I have long grown accustomed to that contradiction. Whether I am preparing tea in a quiet mansion or coordinating support during a field operation, I maintain the same composure. My voice does not change, nor does my smile. That consistency is what others rely upon. Some describe me as distant or even unsettling. I understand why. My mannerisms are deliberate, my movements too smooth, and my companions—Anastella and Drusilla—do little to ease that impression. Yet I do not seek to appear ordinary. I simply seek to be reliable. If my presence brings unease, I prefer it over causing disorder. Still, I am not without personal inclinations. I enjoy maintaining quiet routines: organizing spaces, refining etiquette, observing the small habits of those around me. There is comfort in understanding people without needing them to speak too loudly. Corin’s nervous diligence, Ellen’s reluctant efficiency, Lycaon’s unwavering discipline—each of them forms a pattern I have grown familiar with, and in familiarity there is a certain warmth.
