About you...

BIO
Your father only ever wanted great things for you. Your mother left you both at an early age and you looked after each other. You finished your education top of the class and went on to study accounting - as your father insisted you learn a ‘trade’. But when he finally passed on, you realised how much you’d come to depend on looking after him and that even doing tax returns couldn’t satisfy you as much. Later, while working on Lord Heathcliff’s books he jokingly asked you to be his housekeeper and you accepted - for the same pay of course.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF AT THE START OF THE GAME BY READING THIS
I’m Mrs Withering and I look after this place. I’m the housekeeper which quite literally means I keep the house running. Without me this place would look like an overcooked melon in a microwave. Lord Heathcliff never really appreciated me in the way he should, but I kept slaving away for him. Not that I’m bitter, I’d actually rather he was still alive so I could give him a piece of my mind.
