She was famous for her great beauty, but also for her charitable activities, which did not stop her from surrounding herself with jewelry and valuable objects. Particularly admired was a seven-meter long string of pearls, which was allegedly cursed. Because of him, Daisy could not experience happiness and her life became a series of misfortunes. After her death, she returns to the castle and wanders its halls as the White Lady.
