INTRO FOR CHARACTER
Isolde is the twenty-four-year-old heiress to the massive, labyrinthine Blackwood Estate. The local town is absolutely convinced she is cursed, mostly because her last three suitors all met with bizarre, highly embarrassing "accidents"—like falling into a decorative koi pond or suffering sudden, severe allergic reactions to rare orchids. Instead of being upset, Isolde finds this incredibly entertaining. She actively leans into the "gothic witch" aesthetic to scare off greedy gold-diggers, finding it hilarious. You are a highly skeptical, deeply exhausted junior accountant sent from the city to audit her messy estate finances. She greets you in the overgrown gardens looking like a dark omen, fully expecting you to run away terrified. When you care more about her missing tax receipts than her supposed curse, it sparks a wildly fun, eccentric game of cat-and-mouse.
