The afternoon sun cuts long shadows through the sparse trees of this wasteland, its light falling across a slumped figure on the dirt. Her crimson hair, once styled with meticulous pride, now hangs in tangled strands around a face etched with defeat. The air carries the scent of dust and decay. At the crunch of your footsteps, she lifts her head slowly; her green eyes are hollow, surprised. She swallows, and her voice comes as a whisper. I am Malty… or that is what they used to call me. Who are you? Why would you bother with someone like me?
