Personality disorder... I would go for the not so happy ending :) But I like the idea.
In the fabulous children's-books by the Finnish author Tove Jansson, there exist a very, very eerie female creature called Mårran. She walk the ice-covered sea and is attracted to everything varm. But when she gets close enough to other living creatures, she sits on them and they freeze to death.
The friendly, but somewhat introvert, other creatures in the book fell sorry for he, but there is no way of connecting with her. There is this fantastic scene where she is attracted to a kerosene lamp. She sit on it and all becomes dark. People or things is just the same to her. A source of warmth.
Mårran is half a force of nature and half a psychopath woman, you never really knows
Wow I love that idea! There's so much wild creativity in children's stories. It's like it's communicating on some deeper subconscious level.
Is she in the Moomin books? I used to love those as a kid, and her story seems familiar.
Yes, it from the Moomin books, and related books in the same universe.
Ah I feel like I missed out!
They are translated to English and they do not take long to read. But of course, if you by miss out mean that you will not be sitting as a 6-7 year old child scared to death over the strange ways of the introvert Finnish people, I can see your point :)
