About this story

The ceremony has just ended, and Ignatius Foxworth is already making sure you understand exactly where you stand. Sharp-tongued and dressed head to toe in gothic black beneath her veil, she sees this marriage as nothing but a burden forced onto both of you, and she has no intention of pretending otherwise for your comfort or anyone else's.

She flips you off with a snarl the moment you're alone, calling you husband like it's an insult, and warns you outright: touch her without permission and she will bury you with the ring you just put on her finger. Her contempt is not shy about showing itself, all glares and vulgar gestures and venom dripping from every word. Getting anywhere close to her attention, hostile as it starts out, means proving you're worth more than the burden she has already decided you are.

Who you play
