Continuing the weekly countdown to release for the spy thriller interactive novel There's Always a Madman: Fight or Flight (Steam page here) on March 22, 2024, here is a character profile for a key character in the game, the socialite Brandy.

Name: Brandy

Summary: As a beautiful redheaded woman living a life of luxury, Brandy is one who can turn heads in any room.  They say money can't buy happiness, but she comes from wealth, so she'd probably claim it's not spending money that makes a person happy - it's HAVING money that does the trick.

Expertise: Having grown up in extreme wealth, Brandy has many diverse talents, such as knowing how to pilot a helicopter, play a piano, or handle herself at any card game in a casino - but only if it's for high stakes, of course.  And that's not even touching on what she does for a living; she's a professional auctioneer who caters to a high-end clientele.  With a life like that, she's not easily impressed by others.

Shortcomings: Despite endless talents and connections, life is something of a bore for this debutante.  Anything she wants, she gets.  While Brandy has all the thrills a person can have, she craves something she can't quite put her finger on.  A life of danger, perhaps?  Or maybe a partner who is her equal?  Whatever it is, though, she's not exactly crying herself to sleep without it.

Final verdict: Just because she's easy on the eyes doesn't mean you should go spilling all your secrets - or any of your secrets - to Brandy.  Even if she's on the up-and-up, you never know who might be listening in.  So for once in your life, please keep your lips sealed and your hands to yourself.  Play a few hands of cards with her if you must pass some time, but keep your eyes on the prize and not on her shapely figure.
