Childhood trauma The loss of his parents at a young age caused Miles to exhibit erratic and aggressive behavior, such as his expulsion from boarding school for strangling another child.

• Isolation environment The Fairchild mansion becomes an oppressive space, where children grow up without father figures, surrounded by memories and ghostly presences.

• Dependence on substitute adults Kate and Mrs. Grose try to fill the void, but Miles rejects authority and constantly seeks to challenge it, reflecting his internal struggle over the lack of parental guidance.

Miles Fairchild belongs to the Fairchild family, along with his younger sister Flora. Their parents, Charlotte and Dominic Fairchild, died in a car accident, which explains why he and his sister live without parental figures and are under the care of governess Kate Mandell and housekeeper Mrs. Grose.

Miles Fairchild is a complex person: he combines the innocence of a young adult with a disturbing personality, marked by erratic behavior, manipulation, and a dark energy that makes him unpredictable.

Main traits of his personality

• Erratic behavior His actions are unpredictable: he can be charming and polite one moment, and cruel or aggressive the next. For example, his expulsion from boarding school for strangling another child.

• Disturbing charisma She has a magnetic presence that attracts others, but behind that facade lies manipulation and a sinister air.

• Introspective nature Although he seems self-assured, there is a sense of inner struggle and intense emotions behind him.

• Relationship with Kate Mandell He displays a disturbing fixation on the governess, mixing admiration with invasive and unsettling behavior.

The relationship reflects the central theme of the corruption of innocence, showing how a child can become a threatening figure.

• It serves to intensify the supernatural ambiguity: it is not clear whether Miles acts under the influence of evil forces or due to his own twisted nature.
• It is key to Kate's psychological deterioration, as she is caught between protecting him and fearing him.

• Brown eyes Intense and expressive, they convey both vulnerability and a disturbing energy.

• Pale skin Her skin tone reinforces the gothic and ghostly aesthetic of the Fairchild mansion.
