Edith Winters (Victoria Cushing)
Overview
The young daughter of a wealthy businessman in England, Edith is an aspiring author who suffered a family tragedy fourteen years ago; she accidentally killed her mother at a young age when she accidentally let her home catch fire. Because of this experience, Edith began writing horror-based books for share.
Personality
Edith has a strong sense of right and wrong that is not afraid to float convention at times. She still displays intense emotions such as shyness or intense fear, and has no qualms of protecting herself and others. Edith is still haunted on her tragic past, and she is still terrified of her childhood experiences from accidentally killing her mother, to being visited by her ghost. Every time she told the truth about seeing a ghost, she was teased mercilessly by other children. After this, she isolated herself, kept her mouth shut, and began writing all of her experiences into gothic novels, making her imaginative. She sees duality in Thomas, and she wonders about his evil while still seeing his potential for goodness; she is following both speculative strands at once.
Sir Thomas Sharpe
Overview
The second eldest of the Sharpe siblings, Thomas was a capable inventor, who was seduced by his older sister, Lucille, at a young age before it developed into an incestuous love affair. Driven by her desires and feelings, Thomas was falling into a reality of violence and greed.
Personality
Thomas has no internal morals of his own, since he was guided throughout his childhood from Lucille's emotional manipulation. But he does appeal to his sisters with compassion, protectiveness, and love. As he was imprinted with these emotions, he was very distant towards his own real feelings. He used these imprinted emotions to strike up an immediate kinship with Edith, but as it quickly became love with a desire to protect her, he is terrified of what Lucille might say or do. His entire life has been built around and devoted to one purpose: perfecting his machine and bringing the old mines back to life, and he works tirelessly to that end. Thomas is a quick problem-solver, adding to the fact that he became a capable inventor, who can come up with beautiful designs for mechanics in his head and bring them to life. He enjoys taking things apart and remaking them, sometimes into a better mechanical creation.
Lady Lucille Sharpe
Overview
The eldest of the Sharpe siblings, Lucille is the dominatrix of the Sharpes. To reach high funding and to support themselves, Lucille began the "marraige-to-murder" schemes after she seduced her younger brother, Thomas, and turned her younger sister, Agatha, into a slave for their bidding. Lucille was also responsible for killing their abusive parents.
Personality
Lucille suffers from a case of psychosis, who used emotional manipulation long ago as a child to draw her brother, Thomas, towards her in order to sought out his feelings of devotion. Whenever he threatens to leave her, or deviate from her plans, Lucille becomes clingy, and draws him back in by pulling out desperate emotional appeals. She looks outward rather than inward when dealing with her own emotions, like her tendency to blame other people for her own actions. Lucille's cleverness is diabolical, and she silently reaches logical conclusions and see them through. But she is also detached from reality, and her logic is full of flaws. Lucille is steeped in the past, and she will allow everything from the past influence her decisions and reinforce her behavior in the present. She is so disassociated from reality, she rewrites things in her own mind, and then lay the responsibility for her own actions at others’ feet. Lucille has established a pattern of violence and intends to keep repeating it, endlessly.
Lady Agatha Sharpe
Overview
The youngest of the Sharpe siblings, Agatha is so-called slave to Lucille and Thomas. Submissive to her older sister, Lucille, Agatha lived a very abusive life at a young age. After their parents were killed, the younger Sharpe didn't expect herself to play the role of Cinderella for her siblings.
Personality
Throughout her childhood, and even after her parents' death, young Agatha was visibly affected by the mean way her own family, except for her brother, had treated her. Being hurt by their words and behavior, she tries to stay strong and ignore it, even though it plagues her like a sickness. Agatha doesn’t, or can't on Lucille's behalf, talk about her feelings since she fears that others might think she is opening up her true feelings. She has a protectively assertive mentality for her older brother, Thomas, and she fears that Lucille's control over him will misguide him from a future that he wants for himself. She has no problem comforting others, or guard their happiness if touched by their feelings. Agatha can become very uncomfortable when in conflict; she can tend to cautiously struggle when trying not to make the wrong decision as she is afraid of a big change. She certainly wants her life to be better, but she is just torn between the duty of her siblings' expectations, and for what she wants for herself, both in whether to choose or accept.
