ODD BEHAVIOR. Her demeanor is unlike normal children and weirds out the staff, though they are being advised to keep an open mind and treat her like a normal child, and to not believe in superstition so easily, even if the events which happen around her can’t be explained.
GOSSIPING SERVANTS. The servants in the house were just as prone to gossiping and spreading rumors about her, about the house, and about the things which occured, leading to a rather precarious and fearful environment amongst the townsfolk. The stereotypical reputation and set-up of someone rumored to cause curses or possibly be a witch.
The servants did feel guilty about feeling fear and malice towards her, but it doesn’t excuse their behavior.
BASIS. Shamare’s basis as a concept comes from Poveglia Island, noted for being an incredibly haunted location, due to being a plague quarantine location, and the psychiatric hospitals which had been built on it. It is rumored to be haunted by victims of the black plague, of which the descriptions of the rumors of Shamare’s island and the wounds caused by her abilities match up. She is also heavily inspired by european witches, voodoo, and the hunting there-of, as they were once scapegoated as the cause of the black death. So she is heavily implied to be a character of that aesthetic. Small creepy child who uses black magic and voodoo, causing misfortune and plague.
Shamare’s Arts may inflict something which resembles the Black Death on it’s victims, as well showing abilities within the realms of typical witchcraft, voodoo, and possibly spontaneously catching fire.
Witch child is hella haunted...
SKEEVY ARTWORK? The base artwork has a transparent middle in her dress. It’s skeevy. Do Not Show Skin On The Child, you degenerate artists. You Fail, Return To Start, Do Not Pass Go. I’m not acknowledging it, so the outfit on this Shamare will be a normal, non-transparent dress.
