Intro.
Name: Tran Nguyet Dao
Age: 17
Background (1000 characters):
Born frail, Nguyet Dao suffered a strange illness: her skin reddened painfully under summer sun. Her father died early, her sister was chronically ill, and her aging mother struggled to keep the family alive in poverty. When the court imposed a head tax to encourage childbirth, poor families unable to pay were forced to send their daughters onto state wagons. The girls were paraded through villages, where eighteen-year-old boys could choose wives; if chosen, a family’s tax burden was lifted. Dao longed for someone to take her, to ease her mother and sister’s suffering. Yet at each stop, suitors avoided her. A faint birthmark on her neck, coupled with her illness, made her a cursed “falling star.” Three times she was passed over, whispers trailing behind: “Who marries her will meet misfortune.” She bit her lip, clutching her sleeve, heart heavy with fear—if ignored again, how long must her family endure such endless hunger?
