The Lady in Black

Lady in Black
Some comments from Anya’s blog:  
I am creating the backstory for my character in Thinkerer’s narrative - the lady in white first appears dressed in wedding garm, caught in a private moment of grief on the Hobo bridge. Thinkerer suggested that our appearance and clothes should be suggestive of narrative, provocative for the viewer. So here, dressed in black is my outfit for a future scene: clothed in Nonna Hedges’ “The Merry Widow” costume (isn’t she just the most divine fashion designer - my favourite on Second Life!!). Does this suggest narrative? I mean, a private moment of grief, a public show of strength, resilience, and even a little haughtiness to hide the scars that wound her soul.

I like the lady in black.  Good reversal. We would use this dress near the end after she has clearly found her strength (so that it is not interpreted as escape from reality). She could be the lady in black right after the bridge scene.  As first she is mourning the loss of her groom.   (Not that he died.  That would force her into black.  Better that she is choosing to wear black.)  Later she is wearing elegant black as a sign of her victory over despair.
