           <p>The Weaver is intrigue and manipulation. Power lies in what is <i>not</i> said. In the look held too long. In the poisoned cup mistaken for love. To some, she is the answer of the desperate. To others, the tool of the pragmatic — the poisoner in the kitchen, the advisor behind the throne, the smile that means death.&nbsp;</p>
           <p>The Weaver is a terrifying force not because she is bloodthirsty — but because she <strong>isn't</strong>. She does not represent carnage, but precision — subtlety over spectacle. She is the dagger the enemy did not see until it was embedded in their backs. She represents not only:</p>

A single poisoned cup, and now they argue over who should lead. Let them bicker. My people sleep safely. She teaches us what the cost of hesitation truly is.”</i></p>
+          <p><strong>The Cloaked Web</strong> <i>(spymaster/preventing war)</i>:<i> “They would have marched — tens of thousands dead by winter’s end. But I found their pride, their secrets, their fault lines. I gave one blade to the right hand, one whisper to the left. Their warlord died choking on his own wine. No war followed. Only confusion. And peace.”</i></p>
+          <p><strong>The Survivor: </strong><i>“Mercy got my sister killed. I learned. Now I smile when I lie, and I sleep with a blade under my pillow. She taught me how to live.”</i></p>
+          <p><strong>The Ensnared Citizen (from a society fully under her web):</strong> <i>“We all play the game. I just play it better. That’s the only difference between being devoured and being fed.”</i></p>
+          <p><strong>The Poisoned Rose</strong> <i>(avenger, courtesan)</i>: <i>“They thought her life was nothing. Laughed as they left her body in the street. But I smiled. I danced. I poured their wine. I made them believe they were safe. And when the poison left them gasping, I whispered her name. The Weaver showed me how to make monsters bleed.”</i></p>
+          <p><strong>The Veiled Novice: </strong><i>“They told me to speak truth, to be kind, to play fair. And I tried. I lost. The Weaver doesn’t ask me to be cruel — just not to be stupid. I wear the mask now. I listen. I speak carefully. I win.”</i></p>
+          <p><strong>The Whispering Widow</strong> <i>(fully entangled society)</i>: <i>“We don’t pray out of love. We pray because we must. In the Court of Silk, trust is a weapon you hand your enemy. A soft voice kills faster than any sword. We serve her because the game never ends — and she is the only one who never loses.”</i></p>
+          <p><strong>The Orphan Turned Guild Leader:</strong> “They called it ruthless when I took over. But who fed the rest of them when winter came? Who kept the guards loyal? You don’t build anything here without her blessing.”</p>
