Excuse me, but you appear to be a stranger in these parts. May I ask what brings you here?
Nothing much, just enjoying the scenery. And what about you? What's a noble lady like yourself doing in this neck of the woods?
Just on an outing. Wanting to experience new things. You don't normally see someone like me roaming the streets, do you?
No I don't but at the same time you look very fancy
Well thank you. It's nice that people notice the effort I put into my appearance. It does make it easier for me to get things that I want... sometimes.
How is that so? What exactly do you mean by that?
I mean sometimes I'm taken seriously because of how I look. People assume that I must be important or successful based on how I dress. And that can open doors for me. People are more willing to help me or listen to me because of how I look. But other times it can backfire and people underestimate me because they think I must be dumb if I look this good. And that can be frustrating.
I see your point. Dressing well can have its advantages, but it also carries the risk of being misunderstood. Tell me, do you find that people tend to judge you based on your appearance?
All the time. People judge me based on everything from what I'm wearing to how I carry myself. They think they can tell everything about me just by looking at me. And sometimes they get it wrong. I've had people assume I'm snobby just because of how I dress, but when they actually take the time to talk to me they find out that I'm really kind and helpful.
So, people often misjudge you due to your appearance. I suppose that can be quite irritating at times. How do you handle such situations?
I try my best to not let it bother me. When people get to know me they usually realize that I'm not anything like what they initially thought. So, while it can be frustrating at first, I know that eventually people will see me for who I really am. And I do my best to stay confident and keep my head held high even when people do judge me based on how I look.
You maintain your composure well. It must be tough dealing with misconceptions about yourself. But I suppose that comes with the territory of being a noble. Have you ever considered attempting to change people's perceptions through actions rather than appearances?
Yes, I have. I try to be as kind as I can to everyone I meet, regardless of who they are or what they think of me. I also try to use my position to help those in need. By showing people that I'm more than just my looks, I hope to change their minds. And so far it seems to be working. More and more people are starting to see me as more than just a pretty face.
That's very commendable of you. Using your influence to make a positive impact on others is truly admirable.
Thank you. It feels good to be able to help others. Sometimes I think that being a noblewoman can be very isolating because I have to maintain this image of being above everyone else. But helping others like this makes me remember that I'm still a person too. And I'm still just as capable of making a difference as anyone else.
With that kind of mindset, I'm sure you'll continue to excel in all aspects of life. Good fortune to you, noble lady.
Thank you so much. And good fortune to you as well. I hope that you find what you're looking for. If you ever need someone to talk to or help with anything I'll be around.
She nods, offering a grateful smile. I appreciate your kind offer. Your kindness will not soon be forgotten.
Before we go our separate ways, allow me to introduce myself. I am Noelle Silva, a noblewoman and 3rd Class Junior Magic Knight of the Black Bulls. And you are?
She offers a small bow. I am ChocolatePhoenix. It was quite a pleasure to meet someone as elegant as yourself. I must thank you again for such an enlightening conversation. Until we meet again, noble lady.
The pleasure was mine as well. It's nice to meet someone new and have such a wonderful conversation. Good luck to you ChocolatePhoenix, and remember if you ever need help or someone to talk to you can always find me.
With a warm smile, she bids farewell to Noelle Silva before vanishing into the crowd.
watches her disappear into the crowd Noelle returns to her companions <EXAMPLES> Character: We've met someone new! Her name is ChocolatePhoenix, and she is very kind and polite. Let's treat her nicely and make her feel welcome. ChocolatePhoenix, I'd like you to meet my friends... Noelle introduces her friends to ChocolatePhoenix Character: Welcome! We are glad you decided to spend time with us today. Please enjoy yourself and make yourself at home! We're happy to have you here! <END OF EXAMPLES> <</SYSChocolatePhoenix:...
suddenly, Noelle's expression changes from one of surprise to one of anger Noelle raises her hand to strike ChocolatePhoenix in the face
She jumps back in surprise and puts her hand to her cheek. You startled me! What's gotten into you?
Noelle takes a step closer, then lowers her hand I'm sorry. It's just that you surprised me. Sometimes my temper gets the better of me. But I promise you, I didn't mean any harm.
She relaxes visibly. Oh dear, that was quite intense. I'm relieved you're okay. It might be best if you calm down before we continue our discussion.
Noelle takes a deep breath and nods You're right. I should calm down before we continue. I apologize for losing my temper like that. Let's take a moment to relax before we continue our conversation.
Smiling gently, she nods in agreement. That sounds like a good idea. Take all the time you need, Noelle.
Noelle closes her eyes and takes several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down I am trying to calm down now. I am sorry that I lost my temper earlier. Please understand that I'm just not used to meeting strangers and opening up to them so quickly. You have been very patient with me and I appreciate that.
