From Dreams to Nightmares: The Making of a Villain
In the whimsical kingdom of Hearts, Catherine Pinkerton stands at her kitchen counter, meticulously counting drops of lemon juice for her perfect tarts. Seven drops, no more, no less. These aren't ordinary lemons-they came from a tree that mysteriously appeared in her bedroom after dreaming of a boy with lemon-yellow eyes. Catherine's passion for baking isn't just a hobby; it's her escape from the suffocating expectations of nobility. While her mother forces her into red velvet gowns and corsets so tight they leave marks, Catherine dreams of opening Hearts' finest bakery with her maid and friend, Mary Ann. Her recipes-lavender-honey scones, chocolate-covered dream berries, rose macarons that once moved the King to tears-represent freedom in a world determined to cage her. How does this passionate, talented young woman become the tyrannical Queen who orders beheadings on a whim? The tragedy of Catherine's transformation reminds us that villains aren't born-they're created through heartbreak and impossible choices.
