Lady Marilena Fidatov
Lady Marilena Fidatov is the current head of the Fidatov family, and ruler of the Fidatov Estate. Locked in a time loop for over 17 years, Marilena was cursed to relive the night when she, dozens of guests, and dozens more servants and residents of her estate were poisoned by Nikita Spencer at Dmitri Krezkov's behest, in retaliation for her breaking up with him when it became clear he was only pursuing her out of greed. Every day, she awoke to Rozaluna 16, 718, and every night, she died in agony, rising as a banshee — the trauma of her death and the power of the curse leaving her bereft of reason, powered only by vengeance and a desire to punish whoever was responsible for the atrocity.
Marilena has little patience for fools and liars, but as a woman in her mid-40s now, her sharpest edges have dulled. She was eager to help our heroes ensure Krezk had enough supplies to survive the winter, and thanked them repeatedly for all they had done to help her and so many others that night. Though she noted she is not in a position to directly act out against Strahd — with a young daughter now, and many people living on the estate under her protection — she promised she would do what she could to help them, should they need it.
