Character Archetypes: The Gothic Heroine

Bright eyed young ladies, upon finding themselves in luxurious yet gloomy manors, in cemeteries, and foggy moors must remember to maintain a level head.

Keep a candlestick nearby for unexpected descents into basements and catacombs. Such opportunities are only presented in the dead of night.

Only keen eyes will discern the phantoms lurking through the halls; and listen close for laughing devils and wretched specters crying from the balcony.

Write well and often to acquaintances and family, so as not to miss any mysteries unfolding from afar. And so should something ghastly befall one of our bright eyed young ladies, so that someone else may carry on the tale and perhaps even seek bloodthirsty vengeance.”
