The Butterfly; Mistress Of Fear

"Don't Blame Me, Love Made Me Crazy;
If It Doesn't, You Ain't Doing It Right.
Oh, Lord Save Me, My Drug Is My Baby -
I'll Be Using For The Rest My Life..."

"Do I look insane to you?"

"It would seem that you don't know the definition of insanity."

"What makes you say that?"

"Insanity is the act of doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting different results. You, Ms. Taylor, continue to lie to me and to yourself, but you expect it to become the truth. Or for me to believe it. Trust me, the more you ask, the less I believe you."

Madeline Rose Taylor is a broken woman, in many ways. But now, she's finally cracked, and has been caught. After committing a horrendous crime in Gotham City, she is thrust into the care of Dr. Jonathan Crane, who's determined to make her face her fears... And find out who she really is.

She was never the same.
She only ever ran and hid from her past.
She suppressed her emotions.
She knew better than to dance with the devil.
She would never do something crazy
She would never do something insane.
She already had.
She knew better than to show her true self.
She would never show who she really was.
She was in fact, afraid of herself.

She... Was The Butterfly.
