Her receptivity and adaptability, seen in her eagerness to embrace the magic of San Salvatore, allow for her rapid transformation. The castle and its grounds both play a part; the castle providing an escape from their regular lives, and the beauty of the grounds nurturing their spirits. The castle symbolizes an escape from their past lives, while the grounds, with their inherent natural beauty, promote peace and contemplation.
