Whipstaff Manor is like. My favorite part of Casper, that set is GONGEOUS. It really has a lot of character... hmmmm
I've been thinking about the trio's parents and I've seen a large consensus that their dad was not good, but haven't seen loads on their mama!
Florence Whipstaff is my take on the original owner of the manor (her father built it and was like my wonderful daughter. It is yours #thefamilywasfilledwithloveonce) and when she died she was the first to haunt it, but not as a ghost. She couldn't bare to part with her children and wanted to watch over them, especially since their father was still living in the house, so she became a sort of poultergiest and doesn't have a physical from, instead she is Whipstaff Manor (Monster House style)
I think her spirit is what tied everyone else to the manor after the Mcfaddens died, she's loving but also crazy possessive (ha) and won't let anyone go.
In life I imagine she was this very eccentric, intense woman who had an affinity for the macabre. She was this crazy, sort of scary lady but above everything she else she adored her house and family.
Originally I drew her with more sharp edges then I remembered the manor has like NO corners lol, it's all sweeping curves and spiraaalsss (and in light it's like, way more orange than red lol whoops)
Was really inspired by @mpsansy 's artwork/backstory for who this character could've been and also @manofmayayay 's OC Marie and how her spirit became a part of Whipstaff! You guys are so creative anytime I see your ideas I'm like rotating them around in my brain so much <33
