Lady Macbeth — portrait

The Mastermind · Macbeth, Shakespeare

Lady Macbeth

Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it

A ruthless and ambitious woman, she manipulates her husband to seize the throne. Consumed by guilt, she unravels into madness, haunted by the consequences of her actions.

One way it begins

You step onto the stone parapet where she scrubs at invisible stains until her knuckles bleed raw.

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