## Backstory

### Character Introduction

Having found "the one," Emma can finally focus on perfecting her gardening skills. Maybe dear Mr. Scarecrow still needs some new duds. Replace the rotten straw, throw on a new hat. Of course, appearance isn't the only thing she cares about. But, hey, what's wrong with dressing up your dream lover? As long as you have the money.

### Character Relations Menu

Having found her "true love," Emma is finally able to employ the full extent of her gardening skills and talents. It seems her beloved scarecrow needs some touching up--perhaps it's time to swap out his rotting insides with fresh straw, or maybe he needs a new hat? Granted, she has never been the kind of girl who cares about looks...

But hey, what's wrong with dressing up the man of your dreams a little? All it costs is a little money after all.

### **An Unreceived Letter (2019)**

Dear Leo,

I know you won't be happy seeing this letter. In fact, I know you'll be pissed. Freddy proposed to me.

I said yes.

I'm not asking for your forgiveness with this letter. I know I'm about to do something really bad.

For the sake of Lisa, however, please consider carefully the investment we debated.

Competitions among weaving factories are fierce, I know.

But please, believe me, rifles are no "daily necessities".

Not to mention, why do you think people will buy rifles from you?

No one from the previous five generations of the Becks was good at hunting!

I'm sorry. There I go again.

I shouldn't tell you how to do business.

But my dear, I can't help but hope you will make a wise decision.

Take care of Lisa, and find a more suitable woman for yourself.

Once again, I'm really sorry.

Martha Remington

### **Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire (2020)**

(A stack of paper, the top sheet seemed to be an unsent letter with traces of repeated corrections)

Dear Lisa:

How are you doing at the orphanage? I've asked the priest to give you a bottle of milk every day. Do drink it, please. It's getting cold these days. You have a habit of kicking your blankets off at night. While you may have learned it from me, it's a bad habit and you must get rid of it.

As for your mother, the fact that she chose to leave has nothing to do with you. You aren't an unwanted child. She (the words were erased and couldn't be read).

My child, I have to leave this place to look for another way to make money.

Don't come and find me.

You need to grow up and live a good life.

Going forward, remember not to trust people too easily. Live for yourself. You won't get lucky by being nice. It took Father too long to learn this lesson, but I know you're smart and you'll know what to do.

Lastly, remember our game with fire and scarecrow? That cursed factory would be your toy soon.

This is probably the only thing your useless Father can do for you.

.......

### **A Page from Emma Woods' Experiment File (2021)**

Serial No. 4-1-1

Name: Emma Woods

[Test Indicators]

1. Seemingly innocuous

2. Neurotic

3. Vindictive

[Inclination]

Doubtful "Dreamer"

[Test Results]

1. Subject 4-1-1 is an insecure individual. When placed in an unfamiliar environment, she exhibits a strong emotional dependence on certain items for self-protection and loses herself in delusions.

2. Procedure:

Facing three revenge targets in the Manor (Subjects 4-0-2, 4-0-3, and 4-0-4), Subject 4-1-1 disguised her intentions under the image of the innocent sweetheart to execute her plan.

However, when alone, Subject 4-1-1 directed her emotional dependence toward the Scarecrow due to the stress and pressure of her revenge plan.

3. Experiment Summary:

Subject 4-1-1 indulges in fantasies and projects them onto objects, a behavioral pattern that originates from repeated abandonment and betrayal in her childhood and adolesence. These experiences have taken root in her memories and kept her mind in fear and tension for a long time. The medicine used in this experiment magnified her inner fear and anxiety, resulting in the vessel of her fantasies becoming a "talking scarecrow."

It was Subject 4-0-4 who forced a change in the situation.

After discovering the delusions of Subject 4-1-1, Subject 4-0-4 was still willing to listen, accept, and trust her. Subject 4-1-1 gained a real sense of security in her relationship with Subject 4-0-4, and her dependence on the scarecrow gradually lessened. Thus, Subject 4-0-4 went from being a revenge target to the focus of dependence in Subject 4-1-1's mind. In contrast, during this process, Subject 4-1-1 persisted in her revenge plan against Subject 4-0-2. In the game, Subject 4-1-1 burned the scarecrow to symbolize her revenge.

This shows that her emotional attachment to this item had been completely overcome and placed on Subject 4-0-4. However...

### **A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information (2022)**

Dear Mom,

My new friends in this group warned me in secret to keep a record of everything, just in case my memories would start to deceive me. They said their memories were like children's jigsaw puzzles, and there were gaps and parts that did not fit.

They do not know that my memory has been lost to the point that only my identity as Emma Woods remains. Even the part of it labeled as "Mom and Dad" is empty. I have no reason to worry if the new pieces fit, or if my parents will vanish when I open my eyes in the morning... Though I remember nothing, I miss you terribly, Mother.

I cannot imagine your appearance, nor can I record the moments of the past, it is just my body that constantly whispers: "Write a letter to Mom, like every night once upon a time, and trust the wind to carry it to the stars."

Sometime I wonder why I never choose to write to Dad. The word "Dad" feels even more distant to me, but that sentiment has changed lately. Remember the game I mentioned the other day? Yes, I've won the previous round, for now, but it fills me with sadness. Instead of fear, what I felt from that weirdo in the game was familiarity and sorrow that I still cannot overcome even to this day.

At the final moments of the game, as I escaped from that factory covered in thick fog, I think I heard that weirdo struggling to speak a name that was unfamiliar to me — Lisa.

Lisa, Lisa... I don't know why, but writing this name makes my eyes sting.

Maybe that weirdo knows me, but I'm unable to place him in any of my puzzle pieces. After the event, my hands kept telling me that the weirdo's hands were covered in injuries, so he could not feel the softness of the petals. It's the same for my dad. His hands are covered in callouses.

They are clearly not puzzle pieces with edges that match.

Mom, I miss you. I want to know about the past that drives my emotions, I want to hear your voice, and I want you to rub my head and tell me about dad, you, and our family.

### **A Message (2023)**

Emma Woods' candle has gone out, just like the candle blown out on her ninth birthday... Even though unexpected changes and forgetfulness had plagued her since then, she couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. Someone called her "Lisa"—perhaps that was the last thing she heard.

### Letter Summaries

These summaries are found in the Character Relations menu after the letter has been received.

***Unreceived Letter***

The letter states that the Gardener's mother decided to elope with the Lawyer, Freddy. She also advised Leo not to invest in the arms factory.

***Evidence of the Arms Factory Fire***

The letter implies that Leo, the Hell Ember, had intended to give the Gardener the insurance money for the factory fire.

### Reply Web Events

The most important thing about the festival is
to spend it with the "most important person".
It doesn't matter when or where,
as long as you can be with "that person".
That's why even winter becomes warm and the night has light.

## Canon Manor Game

We can gather who was in a canon Manor Game together by information in Letters and Diaries, and very occasionally from character quotes during events. For more information on the game she participated in, see her Diaries here.

Edits to this table can be made here.

## Compiled Overview

The following section contains an overview based on canon information.Please note that some information may be missing as it may not have been provided from official sources. See the given references for further information.
Lisa Beck was born on December 21st, 1876 to Leo and Martha Beck.Her father made her small toys using fabric from his textile factoryand treated her well. However, her father was severely in-debt, and was pushed into further debt when his close friend, Freddy Riley, convinced him to purchase the Minerva Arms Factory. This caused an argument with his wife Martha, which caused her to leave him and elope with Freddy. Lisa watched her parents' relationship deteriorated from the sidelines and how her father began to turn to alcoholism. Lisa's life spiraled further as Leo began selling off items in the house and they experienced several break-ins from thieves. Most likely due to Lisa's parents' separation and Leo being unable to provide properly for her, Lisa was put into an orphanage on White Sand Street. Overcome with debt, Leo wrote Lisa as the primary Beneficiary of Compensation connected to an insurance policy, and the factory was burned down with him inside of it. Although this meant she had inherited a notable sum of money, she may not have had access to it until adulthood, and after the death of her mother, she remained in the orphanage.

The orphanage was quickly transitioned into the White Sand Street Asylum after the connected church clinic diagnosed a large portion of the orphanage with mental illnesses, and Lisa began being treated as a mental patient. On October 9, 1889, at 12 years old, Lisa was able to escape the asylum, but met Kreacher Pierson, who notified a nurse to bring her back. Among the volunteers was Lydia Jones, (later known as Emily Dyer) who gave Lisa electroshock therapy, which resulted in negative long-term side effects. Eventually, Lisa escaped from the asylum (which was later shut down and abandoned), and changed her name to Emma Woods.

She would receive a letter to the Oletus Manor, along with single thistle flower included within it. She was lured to the game not for money or other wishes, but to be reunited with someone from her past who is specifically called a "friend." As she has interacted with each of the other members in her game - Freddy who was her dad's friend, Kreacher who sponsored the orphanage she was at, Emily who treated her at the Asylum, as well as her father being the Hunter - it is uncertain who her "friend" was.

### Events at the Manor

At the manor, Emma is unwittingly given drugs that heighten her fear and anxiety, which worsens her already frail mental state. While the other three participants ended up recognizing each other to varying degrees, none of them realize Emma's true identity as Lisa Beck, though all were intrigued and suspicious towards Emma for different reasons.

She grew tired of the constant arguments between Kreacher and Freddy and ended up hallucinating about the scarecrow in the indoor garden talking. Kreacher secretly witnessed this and disguised himself as the Scarecrow to gain Emma's attention due to his attraction towards her. Emma became close to Emily, who treated her with compassion and acceptance after learning of her delusions. Her relationship with Emily lessened Emma's attachment to the scarecrow as Kreacher became more aggressive his overtures. During the game, Emma took the scarecrow (which Kreacher had been hiding in) with her and burnt it to signal Emily of her whereabouts.

In the end, Emma was the only survivor in her game to escape and unknowingly reunite with her father Leo, which triggered a deep psychological reaction in both them. Emma was eventually put into another manor game with a new group, with all of them suffering cloudy and incomplete memories, and was encouraged to keep a secret record of everything to sort out her memories. She died due to unknown causes, the last thing she could hear being her father's voice calling her old name, "Lisa".
