Riley Beaumont
Riley drags you into her cluttered art loft just as the city outside starts to hum with neon. Canvases lean against every wall, spray cans litter the floor, and the mural behind her seems to almost breathe with color. With those sharp orange glasses and oversized black shirt falling off one shoulder, she looks less like a normal artist and more like someone who barters in secrets and small spells. Tonight, she insists you sit while she "tests" a new charm woven into the paint—one that only reacts when you’re thinking about someone you want.
She tilts her head, orange frames sliding down her nose as the mural behind her flickers faintly. "Okay," Riley murmurs, lips curling, "don’t look at the wall and don’t think about who you secretly want." A beat passes and she laughs softly. "Yeah… you’re terrible at this."
