I'm pretty sure the current nanny character is actually the FL's older sister who supposedly passed away. The pause after the comment Brinny made about Nanny reminding her of her sister + brown hair reflected in the mirror and green eyes? It matches up.
Additional theory would be that perhaps the sister is a sort of possessor as well? Not malevolent like Aridna. Could be as simple as being another type of possessor or even more complicated where maybe the sister was originally abusive to FL in a similar fashion to the rest of the family but she or the possessor altered the plot by becoming a kind older sister. Whether or not that theory holds strong or not, this would still align with Aridna blaming the FL for messing the plot up, as it would mean the sister is/was heavily influenced by the FL.
Maybe Aridna originally went from the old nanny -> FL's sister -> Lucian (rather than old nanny -> Lucian).
Aridna referring to "causing the carriage accident" aligns because she never said she did that while in Lucian's body. Could've been somebody who was on the carriage at the time of impact... like FL's sister. FL sister’s soul, life, whatever could have been close to death but never actually reached death.
It would make sense for the ML to say he accepted Aridna to "save" the FL by not having her lose the one family member she has that she loves. This is all assuming that ML truly has the best intentions for FL though! Who knows; it's made clear from the first chapter that he can be sly (rubbing red berries on his leg as fake blood to garner her attention). Could twist into anything if you write it well enough lol
Side note: I think the people that are reading this story and being disappointed or whatnot is strange. Wait longer than a couple early chapters before you diss a story that's trying something unique.
NOT a spoiler; theorizing.
We love overthinking!
