I could never be a protagonist because I'd just never move the plot along. "You have free reign of this castle, but don't go into this one area" Okie dokie. I mind my own business and hang out in the library. Queen of staying in my own lane. I'll never discover your magic curse.
What protagonists think when they hear "don't go into the Forbidden Area™ area": mysterious past with mystery
What I think: it's full of insects because this is an old ass castle and also probably structurally unstable
