The story is set in the mid-nineteenth century, and the villainess/false heroine is one Contessa (Countess) Annunziata, played by stunning Brandenburg veteran Renate Blume:
The Contessa is dark because the true heroine, commoner Konstanze, is blond. Doesn't the Contessa remind me of Shakespeare's Dark Lady...?
