**Description:** The Whispering Sister is a spectral figure clad in tattered robes, her face obscured by shadows. Once a devoted volunteer, her spirit was twisted by the dark secrets she uncovered in the prison. Now, she haunts the corridors, using her ability to manipulate the minds of the living. She employs stealth and cunning, whispering insidious suggestions to turn allies against one another, all while draining the life force of those who fall before her. Her presence is a chilling reminder of the secrets that lie within the walls of the prison, and she seeks to protect them at all costs.
