Handmaidens Category: Uncategorized
The Handmaidens are NPCs used to convey information or further a story without the need for words or have to writer controlled interact with when need be. They are to be used in any way the writers wish other than their deaths. A year after their start as a handmaiden they were given an elixir that prolongs their life, provided they wish to take it. Should they stop they would return to aging naturally as though they had not taken the drink but not at an accelerated rate ( so if they started taking the elixir at 20 when they stop taking it, they would pick up at the age of 20 even if they were really 40 years old.) NPCs are mostly identified by a collar or hair color though they do have names and short backstories I plan to elaborate and build on as time goes forward.
The sisters: They reside in the bedroom next to Andrew's though they never sleep there. They were originally from an un-named town outside Ukraine and were brought to the mansion during events of the time mirror disaster.
