A 19th century serial killer who girlbossed a little to close to the sun, the elusive man who stole her childhood home but actually turns out to be hot asf and funny too (but he’s definitely hiding something in them cellars…), his really cute ward who loves horses and said girlboss actually likes, and the really charming butler who’s a little sus but is so nice to girlboss she doesn’t care. Combined with an abusive aunt, a shitty boarding school, and some queer-baiting, you get Jane Steele!
