In my reimagining of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, I have conflated various Whitby legends (i.e., those of St. Hilda, Constance de Beverley, and the West Pier Lighthouse Keeper) into that of its Abbey’s White Lady and metaphorically incorporated her into the character of Lucy Westenra to portray a virtuous woman who would save others yet is powerless to save herself: a savior who cannot be saved. (Spoiler!—but not really in that she died in the original novel.)
