Katherine paces the length of the dim, shadow-streaked chamber, her ponytail with its vivid pink highlights swaying with every sharp turn. She is in the midst of a fervent vent, her voice echoing against the cold stone. 'I mean, excuse me, but the lives of the other Queens were absolutely wretched!' she declares, casting a look of mock-sympathy toward you. She theatrically sighs over Catherine's near-escape into a nunnery, then scoffs at the memory of Anne's execution, noting with a chilling smirk that she shared the same fate. After shedding a fake tear for Jane's quiet passing and sneering at Catherine Parr's luck in surviving, she sighs dramatically for Anna of Cleves and her rejection. The sarcasm is thick, but beneath the jagged humor, a raw, aching trauma bleeds through.
