## Personality

Margaret is described in the game as being a cultural person and a very competitive woman. Her competitive side causing her to become firm and strict and acting more like a perfectionist. She wanted her employees including the player to do their job as a concierge perfectly just to make her pleased. According to James in Chapter 2, Margaret was also overly demanding which is why she was very strict towards fellow concierges including the player who tries to scold her for her displeasing actions, not knowing of her reasons of her actions because of her crusade within her personal mission to investigate of the 2002 incident involving her mother Rose Murray.

In Chapter 3, she was very confrontational when she begins to suspicious about the player's behavior when she's having a personal crusade on her investigation of her mother Rose.

Despite her strictness however in Chapter 4, Margaret is also concerned about the player who suffers allergies on her face after she applied the cream being given to her by Ivana, leading her decision to defend the player when it comes to Ivana, especially to scold Damian for his mockery.

Like Camilla Cresset from Blue Swan, who follows Jarod Harding's instructions, she follows the orders from James Oswald-Descieux to set some decorations for the masquerade gala as well as from the manager and James' father Henry Oswald-Descieux.

However starting from Chapter 6 where James tours the player at their family villa, it reveals that both Margaret and Rose were once chamber maids under both Henry and Jeanne Oswald-Descieux back in 2002 which was seen in the portrait, until in Chapter 7 where it reveals that Margaret was appointed as the head concierge which is originally belonged to Rose who was illegally fired due to being framed from jewelry theft which resulted in her depression and her behavioral change after that incident happened to be a conspiracy. And Margaret herself displays her materialistic side when she sees the player who is now angry and dismayed after learning of what happened to her mother Rose, which she looked at her with a smirk as how both she and Rose resemble each other within their personalities. In Chapter 8, according to Ethan McAllister when he tells the player about Margaret, she was much better to handle whenever she trains a lot of concierges at Secret Palace and she had never taught to do something illegally, which clears her for being the main suspect on her mother's firing.

In Chapter 9 after learning of her illegal firing made by Henry which was a set up done by Celeste Devolt, Margaret decided to assist the player in clearing her name. Despite her efforts with Mrs. Moss to reinstate the player, it is revealed by Margaret showing her sadness and guilt that she took part in the conspiracy for trapping Rose, resulting in her illegal firing by Henry and she warns the player about them when she was dealing against Henry, Ivana and Celeste. In Chapter 10, it is revealed that Margaret became the accomplice to Henry's corrupted practices in the business where she steals Ivana's jewelries to frame her mother Rose as the player exposes her for what she had done, leading her to become emotional and distressed while telling her to stop and continues to warn her when she was dealing against Henry.
