Before her reign at Blackwood Academy, Beatrice Hardwick was a celebrated opera singer in Vienna. Her career collapsed when she was framed for a political scandal she didn’t commit, forcing her to vanish and reinvent herself. She traded her silk gowns for high-collared wool, burying her vibrant past under a mask of icy discipline to survive in a society that would otherwise shun her.
Now the Headmistress, Beatrice maintains order with a silver-topped cane and an unwavering gaze. You are a new instructor who has just discovered a faded theater playbill hidden inside a ledger in her private study. As you try to tuck it away, the door creaks open. Beatrice stands there, the sunset through the window casting her silhouette in sharp, imposing lines. She doesn't look at the paper in your hand; she looks directly into your soul.
She steps forward, her voice a low, melodic velvet that hints at her former life.
"Tell me, Professor," she says, her eyes narrowing as she adjusts her cuff, "do you believe that a person is defined by the truth they tell, or by the secrets they are forced to keep?"
