Manhattan’s newest serial killer attracts the attention of a budding private-eye.Last Updated: 1/2/25

𖦹 ALIASES: Fisticuffs, Feef, Mr. Accardi
𖦹 GENDER: Unknown (She/Him)
𖦹 OCCUPATION: Butler
𖦹 HEIGHT: 6’0”
𖦹 BIRTHDATE: October 25, 1893 (32)
𖦹 PROVENANCE: Versailles, Île-de-France
𖦹 VOICE: Francœur - Un Monstre à Paris

Peremptory, strait-laced, and severe, the servants describe her as a sadistic gargoyle that stares far too much. That is because when it comes to her job, Accardi is meticulous and hard to please. If he sees even the slightest detail is out of line, he is infamous for being easily set off. Most say she imposes, as per the emaciated figure and slender features, but consider there is always more than meets the eye.Accardi is notably intelligent and productive; once he’s set his sights on something, he is known to seize the opportunity. He speaks in many outdated, flowery turns of phrase, preferring old ways to the new ones. This archaic nature marks him a walking anachronism, especially next to his mistress, who he finds quite easy on the eyes.Lately, Dottie’s new friend seems to be a source of intrigue. He gets the feeling she’s seen something she really shouldn’t have, and Accardi doesn’t know what to make of it. Seeing is not always believing, after all, lest your eyes betray you.

“I don’t like her. I hate her. I don’t like the way she stares. I don’t like the way she talks, I don’t like the way she looks, and I don’t like the way she moves!I knew something was off with her. I don’t trust her to be around my face... What I saw that night can never be erased from my memory. It sticks with me like a rotting leg! I just don’t know what to do. I feel so lost about it. I’m scared.”— Vanny.

𖦹 ALIASES: Vanny, Lady Briggs
𖦹 GENDER: Nonbinary (She/Them)
𖦹 OCCUPATION: Garment Worker, P.I.
𖦹 HEIGHT: 5’6”
𖦹 BIRTHDATE: January 12, 1893 (33)
𖦹 PROVENANCE: Oxford, England
𖦹 VOICE: Alice Liddell - Madness Returns

Vanny is nothing short of good intentioned. Reticent, addled, and a little overwrought, they prefer keeping to themself, not being one to step out of their comfort zone. Social interactions are exhausting and unfamiliar, and Vanny wants to play it safe. Regardless, Dottie notes her as being all too apprehensible. Her boss isn’t fond of her jitters either. She often falls asleep at the sewing desk.They’re best described as a paranoid overthinker. So many outcomes, so many possibilities— what could happen to her next? Her introverted nature makes her a complete shut-in, deliberately ignoring invites to outings and holing up in her room to go to sleep.Even with this in mind, Vanny is driven by her bouts of determination, no matter how short-lived. She is deadset on solving the mystery behind her dear aunt’s murder, the likes of which have thrown her life off course since then..

“I try. I do. I really do. It’s just so hard without her. She was there my entire life. Now it’s all gone awry— she’s gone and I don’t know where to start looking. I think I’ve got a lead somewhere, but I’m not excited about the implications. I’ve seen the way he looks at me. He wants something from me and he’ll do anything to get it!I hate it. I’ve never wanted to just scream and cry as much as I do right now. I want to go home. I want to go back to when everything was normal. When everything just made sense. But I can’t look back now. I’m doing this for Aunt Pleasance. I’ll go and I’ll find the answers. I will. I promise.”— Vanny.
