Her eyes, once a deep brown, have dulled with time and tend to be vacant as she stares off into nothingness.

Clothing & Adornments

Edith wears a simple white nightgown made of cotton. Most notable is the bed she spends almost all of her time in. It has become almost a part of her at this point. Her long hair is often braided in a simple plait, pulled around the side of her neck.

Physicalities

As Edith spends all of her time in bed, she does not walk much. When she does, she is slow, hobbling along at an extremely slow pace. Her hands shake and her eyes are nearly always vacant, staring at something no one else can see.

Backstory

They are searching for a way of doing so.
