Mrs. Amelia Belladonna

Everybody knows Mrs. Amelia Belladonna. Well known for her green thumb, her garden stands above all others- you can walk by any time of the day and she’ll be out there digging, planting, or sipping her afternoon tea. Mrs. Belladonna collects many unusual plants: Water Hemlock, White Snakeroot, and her favorite Deadly Nightshade. Every Thursday afternoon she would host socials in her garden. The townsfolk would come to walk about her extravagant garden and enjoy her famous tea. However, after her husband, Arthur, died at one of these events she stopped hosting them and closed her garden gates. After examination her husband’s death was deemed due to a heart attack, but many townsfolk refused to believe it. Arthur Lewis Belladonna was a healthy, stubborn, strong-headed man. In fact those speaking with him moments before his death said it was the most palpable they’d ever seen the man. His death was slow- everybody watched as he collapsed and rushed to aid but to no avail. Mrs. Belladonna stood to the side watching them trying to help her husband. Her face was stoic and cold, her body motionless. Arthur was buried in her garden six feet below her favorite plant, Deadly Nightshade.
