The enigmatic scholar of the monastery

A beautiful slender Eastern European woman with long straight jet-black hair slicked back into a tight ponytail sat in the dimly lit interior of a dark medieval monastery. Her angular and refined face, with high cheekbones and a narrow nose, was illuminated by the flickering light of a candle. She wore a somber faded black robe with subtle embroidery, the long sleeves falling gracefully over her slender arms. Her pale skin glowed softly in the shadows, and her deep set dark brown eyes reflected the smoky eye makeup that accentuated her refined features. With a reserved expression, she held an old dusty book open on the table before her, the pages filled with intricate symbols and ancient text.
