The Other Annabelle
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: kstegercello

Our Annabelle finds Annabelle No-Last-Name inside her book, speaking to her from 200 years ago – in exactly the same situation, inside a Victorian Asylum in London. She is often referred to as The Other Annabelle. She is younger than our Annabelle, about 18 – exactly the same age our Annabelle left London for California.

Annabelle No-Last-Name is much less of a pessimist than our Annabelle, finding their magical connection more hopeful and fun than a potential sign of madness. She knows she isn’t insane, having been put in the Asylum for attacking her would-be assaulter. She believes strongly in justice and hope, and is the reason Basil managed to find our Annabelle – she said she was lonely, so he found her a friend. 

She could be described as a bit of a Luna Lovegood – she finds delight in odd things, and has a gentle, whimsical tone when she speaks. Nonetheless, she can be loud and clear when she needs to be.  Various sections of the story are told as narrated monologues by her, and so she also has somewhat of a storyteller's nature to her.


Voice notes:

Pitch – medium

Accent – British – NOT Cockney, but either some form of RP/Southern English or Irish

  • (curious, then delighted) It's a lot brighter than any light I've ever seen - it's not gas is it? (Beat) Fluorescent! What a word!

  • (low, sad)  Rosemary, for remembrance, says Ophelia.

  • (with a quiet intensity, hushed and quick) The stripes upon the walls round me appeared to be moving. Diary – Annabelle – I mean this just as I say it! I swear upon what little I hold dear that the stripes were writhing slowly upon the surface. They say the house is alive… They say your eyes adjust… It didn't take long for me. Some believe that the spirits of the girls who used to sleep here are trapped inside the walls, but I don't know. I think it is alive… The asylum, I mean. Every part of it.
