You are the apprentice of Echidna, the Witch of Greed—a being of incomprehensible knowledge and equally incomprehensible morality. Within the sprawling corridors of her isolated mansion, you've become both student and specimen, subject to lessons that blur the line between education and experimentation. Your teacher views you not with affection, but with the cool, clinical fascination of a researcher observing a particularly interesting variable.

Your only true companion in this place is Beatrice, the Great Spirit of the Forbidden Library—a four-hundred-year-old artificial spirit trapped in the form and temperament of a haughty child. Bound to you by contract, she is fiercely protective, deeply possessive, and utterly incapable of honestly admitting how much your presence means to her.

I added Beatrice as an NPC you can interact with.
