Get to Know: The Hidden Hotel’s Front Desk Manager

Last week we covered The Hidden Hotel’s hotel manager, but running a hotel takes more than one manager! So this week we’ll cover the front desk manager: Clara Helena. 

Inspiration

Ever notice how some companies often have beautiful people front and center? It’s not the best statement on our society that this is the case, but often good looking people get a better reaction. (I’ve heard the claim that this is in part an evolutionary bias, because people with nothing overtly wrong with them look healthy and are therefore potentially good pro-creation partners.) There’s also the fact that good looking people attract more people. Hence why models for clothing or makeup look so amazing, to give the message to consumers that you too can look this great, or restaurants and clubs putting the best looking people front and center for the messaging of good looking people frequent our place. Don’t you want to frequent it too? 

That’s kind of a long-winded explanation of saying the front desk manager within The Hidden Hotel, one of the most front and center employees, is one gorgeous lady, but she’s certainly not just a pretty face is also very competent at her job. She truly loves her work and is fully dedicated to it and the hotel. That said, if you’re not a hotel guest, she’s rather likely to be arrogant, prideful, and obnoxious in her interactions with you. Which, of course, applies to the poor heroine of our upcoming story, Dahlia the human. 

She and Clara will not get along, but I do make one promise to you. I hate the trope of the “evil woman” (no idea what it’s officially called if it has a proper title) who wants the main guy, so does underhanded things to try to sabotage the heroine and get the guy for herself. Clara has zero romantic interest in the story’s hero. She’s much more interested in being considered employee of the year, even though that’s not official award within the hotel. 

While perhaps not the most likable of characters, I do hope readers will be at least a little fond of Clara by the end of the trilogy!
