## Description
The year is 1482.

The age of exploration and enlightenment is on the distant horizon and the Renaissance is in full swing across Europe; but in England, the War of the Roses is in its final throes. Change is coming, but in one little convent in the north of the kingdom, everyone has seemed blissfully unaware.

Everyone except Sister Catherine, a beloved nun and firebrand thinker who has just been murdered. In an isolated monastery with an already mysterious reputation, any one of the Sisters could be the killer—and Mother Superior is as stumped as anyone else. That's where you come in.

As an Anchoress, you took an oath to never leave your cell; to devote yourself entirely to God and provide spiritual support to all who came to your door. But as the only Sister who couldn't possibly have committed the crime, you have a new mission: solve the case, before the bishop shutters the convent and the killer goes unpunished.

The Superior hasn't told everyone why you've suddenly joined the regular congregation, but something tells you most of these women know exactly what's going on. Who can you trust? Who is being honest, and who has their guard up—and why? Is the convent really haunted? Who killed Sister Catherine? And worst of all... are you next?

### Adela

### Angela
Role: Prior 
[Spoiler]O Lord, please grant me the strength to turn the other cheek. I do not like or trust this woman. She is from a convent in Italy; I wish she would go back there. I take a small amount of comfort knowing I'm not the only one who cannot stand her; Katherine in particular seems to despise her. I don't think she killed Catherine, but I know precious little about their relationship. I have to imagine it was as combative as ours.[/spoiler]

### Catherine
Role: Chronicler
[Spoiler]A friendship that was cut before it could fully bloom. I've never seen her face and I miss her dearly. I've heard so much about her good works, but I have so many questions about what seem to be her flaws. I feel ghastly picking over the remains of her relationships, but I suppose it has to be done...[/spoiler]

### Darcy
Role: Alchevisionist
Linbarrow's own little Hildegard. She cooks, she brews, she cares for all of the plants and animals... [Spoiler]I must admit I didn't expect any of that from her when we first met. Her manner of speaking is even flatter than Eustace's. Perhaps that is why they get along? Darcy is also by far the most honest about her complex relationship with Catherine. I really hope it wasn't her.[/spoiler]

### Eustace
Role: Sacristan 
I am not sure what to make of my colleague. Her flat affect makes it difficult to understand what she really thinks. [Spoiler]We do not share the same sense of humor, and she can be cruel. But... so can I, I am discovering. And Eustace is very forgiving. She knows something I do not. I am worried what that might be.[/spoiler]

### Flora
Role: I'm not really sure what she does...
[Spoiler]Flora is... frustrating. Later today, I am to begin teaching her how to draw. I'm not sure I can... I've never taught anyone anything so directly; I'm more adept at offering spiritual advice.[/spoiler] She doesn't seem to take her faith seriously, which concerns me.

### Katherine
Role: Dabbler 
Katherine is boorish and vain, but worst of all she is incredibly clever. She is clearly impulsive, as evidenced by facts I am too pure to write. [Spoiler]I'm unsure how sincere her eulogy for Catherine was... she makes it sound like they had a very competitive friendship. There are also rumors about her life before the abbey that give me pause.[/spoiler]

### Margaret
Role: Almoner 
Quiet, calm, and very talented. At first I was at a loss as to how she and Katherine could be such close friends, but they both have a wicked sense of humor. [Spoiler]They're too clever by half... Margaret knows all of the passageways around the abbey. She also showed me a terrible etching deep within the walls. She and Catherine seem to have been very close.[/spoiler]

### Moira
Role: Infirmerer 
Moira is very kind and strong. [Spoiler]Catherine's death moved her deeply.[/spoiler] I'm impressed by her knowledge and the amount of work she is responsible for around the abbey. She doesn't like the villagers much.

Role: Abbess 
[Spoiler]I must remain polite as I write this.[/spoiler] I respect the work that goes into running an abbey greatly. I understand her desire to find justice in a terrible situation... I just...

### Charity
Role: Almoner
Charity is gregarious and kind. [Spoiler]She discovered Catherine's body, and I can scarcely bring myself to ask her about all that whenever I see her big soft smile.[/spoiler] She seems to have seen a lot in her life, and she's served at several abbeys. I wonder why she's settled here? [Spoiler]I also wonder how she puts up with Marta's cynical exterior. We haven't spoken much, save for her reassurance about Angela...[/spoiler]

### Marta
Role: Cellar Keeper 
The eldest member of the congregation, but not the Superior. I wonder why that is? [Spoiler]I suppose she could be a latecomer to Linbarrow; her and Charity both seem to have moved around a lot. At first I thought she was kind and wise, but the more I hear from her the more uneasy I am around her. She is wise, but she is cold. Some of her behavior reminds me of my most vindictive thoughts, which embarrasses and humbles me.[/spoiler]
