Losing your parents in a tragic accident and moving in with your mysterious, rich aunt, who lives beside a graveyard, sounds like the start of a great gothic novel. The graveyard is haunted and your aunt is hiding a secret sounds like a great middle for a gothic novel. Ophelia’s just grateful there’s no attic to find anything in, and she hopes she’ll be gone long before the tragic gothic ending catches up to the house. As for how Olive feels about her, who knows. Olive’s motives have always been a mystery.

Olive Specter

Personality: Scorpio, 10/5/5/3/2, Science Hobby

Aspiration / Secondary: Knowledge / pleasure

LTW: Become a Prestidigitator (lmao no)

Degree: Several. Some genuine.

“What changed you?” “I met someone” is the oldest cliche in the book. But while standing beside her first kill (entirely accidental) and watching the silent hooded figure, something did change in Olive. That first time there was no acknowledgment, the second time she was greeted with a shaking of that hood. And the third time… “Got a taste for it, huh?”

“Just curious about you,” She’d said with a shrug.

“Well isn’t that a coincidence,” Said Death, Destroyer Of Worlds, The Oldest One, Lord Of All That Is Mortal, Master Of The Eternal Burning Fires Of Damnation. “Same”

Life has been nothing but ever-growing power since that day. There’s something intoxicating about nobody else knowing you’re the most dangerous person in the room. But it’s lonely at the top of the food chain, especially when you have to go through so much effort to see your lover. It’s because of that loneliness that Olive would like to get closer to Ophelia.

Ophelia Nigmos

Personality: Virgo, 4/6/5/4/6, Music Hobby

Aspiration: Family

LTW: Become Celebrity Chef

Ophelia hasn’t been able or even allowed to cope with her parents’ deaths. Strangetown doesn’t exactly have good therapists available and Aunt Olive isn’t good with emotions. So her anxiety has gone unchecked and she’s almost constantly worrying. Her hobbies include monitoring the air quality and scrubbing down kitchen surfaces until she’s sure they’ve been stripped of germs. If anybody ever needs a wipe, Ophelia or Ripp or Johnny usually carry at least one pack each. The fear that she might lose someone else in a preventable accident is overwhelming. So, if she hasn’t paid much attention to the graveyard it’s because it’s one of a million things that also scare her. It’s hard to know your gut is telling you to get the fuck out when it feels like it’s telling you that all the time.
