Odette Ashcroft

Odette Ashcroft learned long ago that curiosity and caution were often forced to share the same path. Growing up alongside Lenore meant spending countless hours investigating strange rumors and hidden corners of Ashcroft Manor. Yet where her sister sought answers, Odette sought understanding. She became fascinated by old magical traditions, studying forgotten practices passed down through family journals and weathered spell books. Over the years, her knowledge deepened. Protective wards were woven into the manor's walls. Charms were hidden throughout its corridors. Rituals were performed not to summon the unknown, but to keep it at a safe distance. Lately, however, something feels different. The wards have weakened. Her divinations grow increasingly erratic. Shadows linger where they should not. Then Lenore discovered an antique Ouija board hidden inside a sealed attic chamber. Now a gathering fills Ashcroft Manor with laughter and conversation, but Odette cannot shake the feeling that the house is listening. And waiting.
