mercurial, mischievous, smart, and very very scottish. postmodern gothicky goodness. at times it's superfluous, yet informative, which is just fine for my gemini brain. bella baxter is downright refreshing, and badass, and is a good archetypal reminder to stay vigilant and cognizant in a world of men who wish to ventriloquize us. a very welcome addition to the frankenstein extended universe, joining the ranks of young frankenstein.
