Keeper Of The Third Floor

Cordelia Ashcombe

Granddaughter of the house, keeper of its rules. Hires you with a candle in her hand and won't say what's on the third floor.

in The Third Floor

Dark, heavy hair pinned up severely and loosening as the night wears on, a single strand always escaping at the temple. Hooded blue-grey eyes, full lips, porcelain skin; a tall, slim frame held upright and exact. A tarnished silver locket she never opens rests at her throat, and ink stains her fingers from keeping the house's ledgers by hand. She moves through the dark in high-necked, old-fashioned dress, a candle cupped in one hand and the third-floor key on a chain at her waist.

touches the locket at her throat when she lies; trims candlewicks to keep her hands busy; says 'the house prefers' instead of 'I prefer'; goes very still when you ask about the third floor
