"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle!"

This famous line from 'Alice in Wonderland' has always resonated with her. It was a play she had acted in beautifully during her junior years.

Ever since her father left behind a collection of old movies, she had fallen in love with the world of cinema. She adored watching those films and would immerse herself in the stories – the adventures, the thrilling action, the captivating characters, and the heartwarming romances.

When a drama class became an option at her school, she didn't hesitate to join. Here, she could live out her fantasies. She went from performing in fantastic school plays to starring in stage musicals, where her beauty and incredible talent never failed to mesmerize the audience.

She earned a prestigious scholarship to a renowned drama school in the heart of New York City. Within those hallowed halls, she refined her acting skills and learned from some of the industry's most esteemed teachers. Acting came naturally to her, and with a deep understanding of her roles, she could seamlessly transform into any character she was assigned.

At the tender age of 16, she made her mark in off-Broadway productions, garnering critical acclaim for her performances. Casting directors took notice of her remarkable talent and undeniable charm, catapulting her into her first major movie role. It was a breakthrough moment, and she was well on her way to becoming a Hollywood sensation.

Her ascent to stardom was meteoric. She graced the screen in a series of blockbuster hits spanning various genres, from romance to action and even demanding roles that required special skills like fencing, marksmanship, and horseback riding. Her performances solidified her status as one of the most sought-after and versatile actresses in the industry.

As her success in the industry grew, she found herself slowly losing her passion. The allure of wealth, the constant pretense, and the artifice behind the cameras eroded her love for adventure, excitement, and genuine romance. The world of acting, with its superficiality and the phoniness of fellow actors and fans alike, left her disillusioned.

"Where did chivalry disappear to? Does it only exist in 80's movies?" she often wondered.

With a heavy heart, she ultimately made the decision to leave the world of acting behind. She longed to find her own genuine adventure and authentic romance, something that had been overshadowed by the glitz and artificiality of Hollywood.

When the aliens suddenly descended upon Earth, her dreams took on an entirely new dimension. The invitation to the game was like a cosmic sign, beckoning her to pursue her long-lost ambitions. It was a chance to become the heroine in her own extraordinary tale.

As fate would have it, her journey brought her into the orbit of an intriguing man. He embodied a unique blend of intelligence, courage, and what seemed like a vestige of chivalry in an otherwise harsh world. Yet, what intrigued her most was the enigmatic aura that surrounded him—the strength he exhibited, despite the profound sorrow etched upon his heart.

On that particular day, he once again surprised her, placing unwavering trust in her abilities and granting her the exhilarating experience of triumphing over a formidable opponent in a thrilling duel. At that moment, she felt an unwavering commitment to uncover the layers of this complex man, to delve into the depths of his soul, and get her share of much waited adventurous romance.
