But then her joy turned to dismay when she came upon his body, and nearby, a fearsome beast. When her father disappeared and she returned to the forest to look for him, she felt herself getting renewed. She is restless and doesn’t feel she belongs somehow.
Now living in the city, she harbors a dissatisfaction with her life the origins of which she cannot herself articulate. Yeva was taught to hunt by her father when she was young, and had always felt drawn to the forest.
He was forced to return to a life of hunting, but seemed to go mad, claiming a mythical beast was tracking him and driving away all the game. Her father, an excellent hunter, became a merchant to make a better living, and then lost his fortune. Yeva is the youngest of three daughters, and has always been called Beauty by her father.
This is a retelling of the archetypical story of “girl meets bad boy with heart of gold,” i.e., “Beauty and the Beast.” Note: Some spoilers if you do not know the story of “Beauty and the Beast.”
