If you are reading this letter, then I regret to inform you that I have recently passed away. However, if we are to save our family, my life’s work must be seen through to its end. You know this better than anyone, and indeed, your assistance in this regard has proven invaluable over the past few years. Having said that, it is time you learned the full story of our family’s curse, lest you become its next victim.
Many centuries ago, an evil cult terrorized the village where our common ancestor lived. Villagers were kidnapped and subjected to the most unspeakable atrocities. Famines, disease, disasters, and bloodshed all became commonplace. All this was to please the cult’s foul masters, and in exchange, they proclaimed themselves kings over all the people, who were reduced to slaves and playthings for the cult to use and destroy as they saw fit.
Our mutual ancestor led the rebellion against the cult’s tyranny. The cult merely laughed at his efforts at first, but their arrogance would become their downfall, for eventually the rebellion succeeded in freeing the village. Of the cult itself, only their despicable leader survived, and it was he who placed this dreadful curse upon our ancestor. From that day forth, in every generation of our family that bears twins, one of them is doomed to follow in the footsteps of the cult’s evil.
The time has come to end this evil once and for all. Come at once to my waxworks. Your relative, Mikaela, will be coming as well, and my faithful assistant will explain what the two of you must do.
Wishing you all the best,
Your uncle Boris

Appearance :: COMING SOON!
Brief History :: The family curse has affected Mikaela’s life since the very beginning. Her parents were nervous enough just by her being a twin, but when her twin died in the womb, her mother was convinced that the surviving twin would be the evil one and demanded an abortion, not even bothering to give her a name. She survived, but would have been left to die anyway if not for the timely arrival of her distant cousin Boris, who named her Mikaela and adopted her as his own. Mikaela grew up with no particular attachment to anyone in the family besides Cousin Boris, due to the inherent stigma of the family curse for a sole surviving twin. Cousin Boris, however, had spent his entire life working on a way to break the curse, and so Mikaela became devoted to helping him do so in order to defy her own supposed fate.
