Alias: The Woman Who Walks Between
Before Captivity:
Edith was a bright 13-year-old who wanted to become a nurse after WWII. Living with her widowed mother in bombed-out London, she often explored the ruins near her street. One day, she followed a strange bird through the collapsed roof of a church and vanished inside the shadows.
In Faylinn:
Edith was placed in a mausoleum of still moments, suspended as a living statue in a cathedral built from forgotten human rituals. Her form was held in stasis—a mirror of innocence lost in war. Time did not touch her, but dreams filtered through her like drifting ash. Occasionally, the fae would move her like a chess piece in ceremonial games. Though she could not move, her mind remained awake. Over centuries of watching—trapped behind glass—her soul became a watcher, learning to slip between realms.
After Return:
She reappeared in the same church ruins in 1975, physically unchanged. Everyone she knew was gone. Though she looks as if in her mid-20s, her eyes are decades old. She now works in hospice care, drawn to liminal spaces. Sometimes, patients on their deathbeds claim to see a different version of her—older, colder, watching them from behind their reflections.
