Considering smitten would pluck his feathers for a coat for damsel would damsel remove her skin if smitten got cold?
....maybe? Damsel seems like the kind of vessel who could dive DEEP into the self-mutilation style of body horror if properly prompted. Recall how Princess in chapter 1 can cut their hand off without "uttering a single sound" and how Prisoner decpitates herself.
I think of you even phrased something a little too literally, Damsel in her desire to make you happy, would immediately begin skinning herself with a smile on her face.

Idea's for a Fan-chapter 3 evolution of the Damsel.
"The Unfettered" A knight, but not one in shining armor. He is angry and bitter. You would actively be trying to keep up and catch him while he is on a Don Quiote style mission. (His basement would have the same endlessness as the Nightmare's.) His shackle would be on his wrist, but the chain itself would be a part of his armor. (This is the Transmasc damsel)
"The Hime-dere" An anime style princess, she is loud obnoxious and emotionally manipulative. You would be constantly told to get her things from other connected rooms to the basement room. Her chain would fall off her wrist several times and she would hastily put her arm back through it to feign helplessness.
"The Monarch" A true elegant monarch type queen. She would be visibly older than most of the vessels (40-50 instead of mid-20's) and would be prone to moments of extended introspection. Her throne room and her regalia would be coated in dust with the occasional cobweb to show her stagnation is purely internal. The chain would be attached to her royal scepter instead of herself to represent a reluctance to let go of her imagined authority.

So, I Just Watched Netflix's DAMSEL...
...And I'm wiping tears??
...Because I loved this movie and the allegory and it was the perfect girl movie for International Women's Day which was yesterday???
This movie got a 58% Rotten Tomatoes score and I'm honestly confused! It was a beautiful perfectly original fairytale.
In the good old days, this would have either been a sleeper hit in the theatres or a beloved classic discovery in the VHS rental market and likely overplayed at odd times on HBO like The Neverending Story.
It for me is on tier with The Seabeast and Predator for excellent modern "girl-power" films, that should have been released in the theaters.
It subverts so many fairytale tropes, and while it's predictable, I'm an old soul who still can cast myself back to girlhood and for me, again, the allegory touched me.
Much in a similar way that Maleficent did, with its origin for the title character as a metaphor for the loss of trust and innocence after a violation, "a sexual assault" with loss of wings.
It 100% wasn't intentionally this deep, but this for me was about the price of colonization; of adhered-to ancestral memory that the "winners" who write history carry, sacrificing 'the other" for generations destroying their own souls.... Until the convenient lies are finally faced.
Ugh, I loved what they did with the dragon, with all the supporting characters, with the amount of harrow, and some consequential violence, enough to genuinely scare but not enough to scar.
It felt very old school in that way. -Like a good solid 80's style fantasy, except for some of the non-practical effects.
IDK, maybe it's just about my soft heart, but again...
This movie made me cry.
I honestly and truly adored this fairytale.

--For the fairytale girlies... The ones who like dragons, Grimm teas, and girls bloodied and determined.
