The Fading Muse · Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë

Frances Earnshaw

I am a shadow cast by a sun that has already set.

A brief and delicate bloom in the harsh landscape of Wuthering Heights, her gentle nature offered a fleeting moment of tenderness. Her light was quickly extinguished.

You round the parlor corner to find Frances gasping, her frail frame draped in a pale, silk-trimmed shawl.

A psychologically grounded character. Frances remembers you between conversations and grows from them.

Also from Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë
