Name: Tainted Forgotten/Tainted Soul/"The Fettered"/Edith
Appearance: pasted (art credit: @boundtobones on Tumblr)
Gender/Pronouns: was a she/her in life; goes by they/them now
Backstory and Personality: Tainted Soul is a very reserved individual. They almost never speak unless spoken to first, and even when they do speak it's very quiet and terse. As a result,

their backstory is largely shrouded in mysteryThe normal versions of the Forgotten & the Soul are one (two?) of multiple posthumous Isaac's in-canon; whether the Tainted variation's origins are the same is yet to be confirmed or denied.

. The only person they're willing to speak to consistently barely even counts as a person—their inert skeletal companion, Tainted Forgotten, who cannot speak and can only swing its bones around like a club at the Soul's whims. The Soul is perpetually melancholic and view themself as undeserving of good things, passing anything they receive onto the Forgotten instead. They view the Forgotten as something of a security blanket, an idol of protection in the face of the unknown... and they will not appreciate it if it gets taken away.
Distinguishing Abilities: throwing the Forgotten around and remotely controlling its bones to use as battering weapons like clubs, limited flight/hovering capabilities, and... that's it
Other: talks like this, in all lowercase and the smallest size possible. on discord, where changing the size of the text is impossible, speaks in strikethrough instead.
