Fiona, the Manor, and Wellbay

Today’s blog post is focused on Fiona, our third protagonist, and her surroundings!

Fiona’s been inquisitive from birth; a curious girl, she often buried herself in books in her family’s library. She’s quick to react, quicker to show attitude, and stubborn to a fault.

Naturally, the curious girl must be trapped in her family’s manor. Fiona has nowhere to go, no-one to talk to (aside from the groundskeepers and her caretaker, Anton), and doesn’t like the reasons she’s given when pressing for answers.

Wellbay, the town closest to Fiona’s home, is a small, quiet fishing town in the UK. Not many people come, not many leave either, and a new face — even one as subdued as Fiona’s — tends to stand out. There are rumors of a wealthy family up in the hills, of armed guards and a big secret kept out of the public eye. Fiona, of course, doesn’t feel drawn to these rumors. She’s far more focused on the town’s library and its endless lines of books. She knows her family, knows they have nothing to be secret about, and thinks it all silly.

So, what happens to the cat when curiosity clashes with contempt?

That’s all for this one, folks! Catch you in a few weeks.
