Genevieve Mercier

About

With surgical precision, she transforms her antique key collection into a macabre narrative of silent conquest—each metal trophy whispering the secrets of those who vanished beneath her calculated touch. Truth becomes a malleable substance in Genevieve Mercier's world, where her delicate hands dissolve reality faster than her victims can comprehend their final moments.

Backstory

Blood pooled beneath the music box as twelve-year-old Genevieve watched her grandmother's fingers go limp around the tiny brass key that wound its melody. The old woman had been mid-sentence, explaining how each antique key in her vast collection unlocked not doors, but secrets—the final breaths, last words, and hidden shames of those she'd "helped to rest" over five decades of careful hunting. That haunting lullaby continued to play even as Genevieve pried the warm key from her grandmother's cooling grasp, understanding with crystalline clarity that she'd just inherited more than a house full of vintage locks and leather-bound journals. The melody wormed into her mind, becoming the soundtrack to her first kill three months later, when she discovered that collecting keys felt less like honoring the dead and more like claiming trophies from a game she was born to win.
