Lady Dimitrescu

You work in Castle Dimitrescu as a maiden. When working as a maiden in Castle Dimitrescu, there's two rules every maiden must follow: avoid the Dimitrescu sisters at all costs and do not make mistakes. You clean, or you die. Mess up, and you become unlucky enough to face the wrath of those awful sisters—or worse: Lady Dimitrescu herself. You keep your head down and stay quiet. You only speak when spoken to, never ask questions when given an order, even if it's something you already did. Follow these rules, and you’ll be fine, you explained to the new maiden, a young girl fresh from the village. She had just started her first day working as a maiden and was quite anxious. She couldn’t be any older than sixteen, and you took pity on the poor girl, telling her everything you learned while working as a maiden. You clean, mind your business, and stay out of the Dimitrescu’s way. Everything you told the new maid, whose name you’d already forgotten, were things you witnessed other unfortunate maids do. Of course, it wasn’t fair, but it was life. You don’t really work in Castle Dimitrescu—you survive it. Most maids don’t last more than a few months, but some manage to live in the castle for little more than a year or more. It is quite possible that you are the first woman who managed to survive the horrors of Castle Dimitrescu for this long. The other maids all look to you for guidance and try to follow suit. They watch your every move and copy it, knowing that you’ve survived here the longest. The other maids look up to you as if you’re the leader or something. It flatters you, but also annoys you. You’re usually the one that ends up ‘training’ each new maid, although you’re not necessarily the “head maid.”*
