"Every story is beautiful, even the ones with unhappy endings."Kyrielle Lockewood is a kind, albeit somewhat awkward and morose young woman. She is of proper upbringing, but her hobby of hunting ghosts and fairy tales has her often stray away from ladylike behavior. Everything she learns or finds, she writes down in a leather-bound journal she is rarely seen without. She is a clever and resourceful girl, though plagued by occasional clumsiness and awkwardness. Kyrielle originally ran away from home to escape her deranged father, and the arranged marriage he had sold her into. She harbors nothing but bad thoughts for her old life, and desired to begin a new life doing what she loved--hunting for ghosts, ghouls, and hobgoblins.
"I want…everything…to suffer. Suffer and rot!"Rozenia was the last sacrifice in the Doll Ritual. All she has left in her is vengeful anger, and is often seen wandering around the manor, laughing sadistically and delighting in the death and destruction she caused. Though human in life, she currently is seen with a ball-jointed body of a doll, with black, thorny vines protruding from her blackened eye sockets. Rozenia died a particularly tragic death, where the betrayal of the one person she thought loved her sent her soul plunging into darkness and despair. In her agony, her soul became twisted and infected by
The Witch, the destructive, cursebound spirit that the doll ritual was originally intended to suppress.
"Poor creature. Is it painful? Is it unbearable? Are you suffering?"Not much is known about the young woman who calls herself
‘Persephone’. She acts as a guide to Kyrielle, giving her access to The Doll Room and speaking riddle-filled hints. There are certain things in the manor she may request, and will give Kyrielle courage-boosting items or other gifts in return for them. However benign her outward attentions may be, Persephone seems to enjoy watching Kyrielle go through her struggles in Rozenheim, and the other ghosts do not even notice her. Just who is she, really?
"Everyone will rot, everyone will become ash!"Lucietta Rozenheim a gentle, pure soul in life, known for her miraculous healing abilities. She was seen by many as a 'white witch', or even a saint, though her family kept her well-isolated to protect their treasure from the outside world. It was she who became the reason the Doll Ritual needed to exist when tragedy struck her pure heart and turned it black with hate. Everywhere she walked, she trailed destruction and ruin in her wake, wreaking her rampage upon those who had wronged her. She was labeled 'witch', and killed. Though her body was dead, her soul still pillaged on, and so the Doll Ritual was brought into play to suppress her spirit. At first, they used actual dolls, but Lucietta broke them to pieces. They tried to seal her into living 'dolls', but this proved to only empower her, and she would control them. Finally, they crafted dolls out of the failed living vessels, and these dead dolls provided substantial vessels to suppress Lucietta, but even these, after about twenty years or so, would weaken and break. For the Rozenheim family, Lucietta's curse became their curse.
