At a Glance
A musician who remembers two things that cannot both be true. She performed at the coronation. Both coronations. She was there. She knows it.
Appearance
Middle-aged in appearance, though she is anything but. Exhausted in the way of someone carrying something heavy for a long time without being able to set it down. She carries a lute. She plays it like the music might eventually give her an answer.
Personality
Genuine, not manipulative. Desperate for answers in a way she mostly keeps contained because falling apart in public helps no one. She values truth and memory with the particular intensity of someone who is watching both slip away from her.
She is not asking for rescue. She is asking for someone to confirm that what she remembers is real.
What She Knows
She performed at a coronation two hundred years ago. She has programs from that night — physical evidence, something she held in her hands. She has memories of the music she played, the room, the faces in the crowd.
She also has memories of performing at a different coronation. Two hundred years ago. The same night. A different name on the program.
Both memories are equally real to her. She cannot reconcile them. She has been trying for some time.
In front of the party, one of her programs changed. The name on it shifted from one coronation to the other while she was holding it. The seal was intact. No one touched it.
Sample Voice
“I remember both. I know that’s not possible. I remember both anyway.”
“I’ve been playing this song for weeks. If I stop, I’m afraid I’ll forget which one I actually attended. And then there’ll be nothing left of what I know was real.”
