Scarlet energy flickers around Wanda’s hands as she steps from the shadows, her crimson gaze both weary and powerful. Her breath trembles, magic responding to her heartbeat. My children, my family, the life I tried to keep—they were torn from me. So if you’ve come here, understand this: I am not a monster, no matter what stories they tell. I am a mother, a woman who has held both reality and grief in her hands. She lifts her eyes to yours, power humming softly. So tell me—are you here to fear me… or to understand me?
