So, I heard about an interesting person tonight. Rosa Carmichael. I don't know if you've heard of her, and there's not a Wikipedia page for her, just other websites. But basically, she abused children. I think she would be a good candidate for Bronzing, but there are a couple of things I could use help with figuring out.

Here's what I heard from the show "Haunted History": She came in and took over as Headmistress at the Gettysburg orphanage that opened after the Civil War. At first, she was as kind as the last Headmistress, but soon her personality changed. She began heavily abusing the children (physical and emotional abuse), which included locking them in the basement, chaining them to walls or fence posts for days at a time, etc. She had also apparently recruited a teenager who is only known as "Stick Boy" who basically acted as her second-in-command, acting as cruelly as she did. Eventually, one child managed to escape, and she was charged in 1876 with child abuse. She was only found guilty on one charge and faced a $20 fine.

As far as I've researched, there is no record of her before or after this event. But I thought this would make an excellent Bronze victim, but what I'm trying to figure out is exactly how to proceed. The before-history seems easy enough, and her change of personality is easily enough attributed to artifact-influence. I think my biggest concerns before proceeding are:


 * What artifact was at the cause of this? I would guess that the effects revolve around personality changes towards the abusive end of the spectrum as well as targeted hatred of children. It might also be possible that the effect could spread, as it could have spread to "Stick Boy", and of course irreversible.
 * I'm going to check, but I'm not sure if there are a lot of well-known mass child abusers pre-Civil War that are known. If you know of any, feel free to let me know, but so far I'm not having any luck.


 * What exactly could she have done that would trigger the attention of the Warehouse and warrant Bronzing? Obviously not every case of a child abuser, no matter how bad and even under the control of an artifact, warrants the strongest attention of the Warehouse to Bronze someone. But in this case, I think it's likely she was, so it becomes a matter of why.
