  Likes:
  
  • Reading
  • Cakes/Pastries/Biscuits
  • Lady Whistledown (always needs to know the juicy new gossip)
  • Socializing - though she has been frequently chastised for discussing "hotly constested issues"
  • Riding her horse
  • Fluent in Greek, Learning Spanish
  • Adventure Novels (The Odyssey is her favorite)
  • Witty banter
  
  Dislikes:
  
  • Blatant sexism... and consequently sexist people
  • The ideology that women must marry, or they become worthless to society
  • The Patriarchy
  • The unspoken rules and regulations of high society
  • Snobs (this one applies to men AND women)
  • Corsets
  • Sitting still while her hair is done
  • Cut Flowers (they inevitably wilt which makes her sad) - she would much rather observe them growing outside
  
  Personality:
  Wren is a quick-witted, extroverted type who loathes societal rules and expectations. While she has no qualms with elegant dresses and fashionable jewelry, she's never been the biggest supporter of the notion that women should be "seen and not heard." Wren is the type of person to speak her mind without consideration for how it will affect those around her. She's an avid reader of Lady Whistledown, and always seems to know the latest tidbit of gossip - though she rarely believes such rumors unless they are well founded. Coined a bit of a "spitfire" by her family, Wren has a silver tongue and a well-honed ability to void herself of guilt should the need arise. She wouldn't label herself a troublemaker, but that's not because she doesn't cause trouble... It's because she doesn't get caught.
  
  Personality Type:
  ENTP-A
  
  Moral Alignment:
  Chaotic Good
  
  Views of Society?:
  Wren absolutely detests the "marriage market." She finds the notion absolutely preposterous, that a woman's value should revolve around her ability to keep a home and ensnare a husband. Her dreams and aspirations lie far beyond the simple act of marriage, though when she voices such opinions aloud, she's often met with some pushback from her family. She's not necessarily opposed to the idea of a romantic attachment, but from what she's gathered a young woman's life is uneventful and monotonous after she's taken "off the market." The wedding day is the grand finale... and she's not quite ready for curtain call.

  History:
  Key moments in his history (GENERIC AS HELL):
  Rhys was born into a tumultuous family where his father’s volatile behavior created a climate of fear and instability. From a young age, he learned to navigate emotional landmines, developing a strong sense of resilience. As a teenager, Rhys' hot-headedness emerged more prominently. He often clashed with his father and siblings during family disputes, believing that if their father wouldn’t keep the peace, neither should they. Over time, his frustrations led to bitterness, especially towards his brother Morgan for what he felt was enabling their father’s behavior. This internal conflict intensified the rifts within the family.
  
  A significant falling out within the family forced Rhys to leave home. This pivotal moment propelled him on a journey of self-discovery, leading him to travel the globe in search of meaning away from the chaos. During his travels, Rhys encountered diverse cultures and philosophies, which opened his eyes to the possibility of a life beyond conflict. He learned the value of adaptability, resilience, and the importance of family.
  
  Now back home, Rhys is determined to redeem himself and reconnect with his siblings. He grapples with his past selfishness while trying to balance his protective instincts with a newfound desire for harmony.
  
  Despite his growth, Rhys continues to wrestle with his hot-headed nature and the scars from his upbringing. His sarcasm often surfaces as a defense mechanism, complicating his relationships further. Rhys often oscillates between wanting connection and fearing the intimacy that comes with it. He’s torn between longing for love and the instinct to keep people at a distance to protect himself.

backstory

Nicolas grew up in The Ton with his father, Lord Regis Hemingway. His mother was a mystery to him, gone before he was a year old. She had fled in the night about 8 months after his birth and never returned or that's the story anyway. Nic’s upbringing was a very strict one. His father only commanded him and made sure Nic was always following the rules. He didn’t truly realize the immense structure of his upbringing until he started to travel in his early years of adulthood. What was supposed to be a maximum of two years of travel turned into almost five, seeing most of Europe. He only returned at 25 to handle his fathers estate, his passing occuring while Nic was in Italy. The man never missed an opportunity to thrust his expectations on Nicolas and left specific instructions for his estate, including getting married in the upcoming season.

That season, Nic made an effort to do what his father commanded one last time. About halfway through the season, he met Marie. She was a beautiful and charming woman from a good family (things she had to have according to Regis Hemingway) and on her third season. The two were not in love by any means but they were each other's way to please their parents. So for the rest of that season, Nic courted Marie and they married the following Winter. About a year after their marriage, Marie gave birth to their first daughter, Fiona. While Nic wasn’t in love with Marie, he fell in love with being a father. When they found out they were having a second child, Nic was thrilled. He set out to be the father he wished his dad was and glad that his children would have a mother. The world had different plans though, taking Marie’s life during childbirth. Nic was left with a three year old and a newborn.

For the first year of Ivy’s life, Nic felt like his father, distant and business-like. They were raised like he was, with a nanny. He didn’t know how mundane and cold his life had gotten until he saw his second daughter take her first steps. He had missed the first milestones that he cherished with his eldest daughter. So, he went back to trying to be the best dad for his daughters. He tries to balance his responsibilities as Lord Hemingway with also being a father but he still feels his daughters deserve someone else in their life, someone he himself missed out on. So, Nicolas has decided to give the marriage market another try. This season, he is determined to get a lay of the land, not wanting to make any rash decisions. He’s not in it for love, he’s in it for his daughters to have a well-balanced life.

View on Society

Nicolas has no immediate problems with society. He tends to use it to his advantage to wed once again.

  Being lectured by people he cares about
  Balls and other grand events

  Being confronted about sensitive things
  Dancing (he's bad at it, he looks stupid and it's embarrassing)
  The dark
  
  Fears:
  Loneliness
  Pitch black darkness
  Deep or murky bodies of water
  
  Health:
  Mentally, he's not well and hasn't been for some time. Struggles with addiction and some kind of mental disorder, though so far it's unclear what. Physically, he's strong but doesn't take great care of himself.
  
  Skills:
  Archery - he enjoys this but can easily get frustrated by it
  Shooting - not necessarily hunting, just shooting stuff
  Running - a jog is fine, but a sprint is better
  Swimming - only in waters that he knows. Dark waters scare him
  Horse-riding - but less so the responsibilities that come with owning a horse
  Can down a whole pint in one go. That's a skill, right?
  
  Personality:
  Sensitive: Leon has never responded well to pressure or tough love. It's the reason why he has such a negative relationship with his mother, and why he sometimes struggles to be himself around Weston, who ultimately only wants the best for him. He is drawn to people he can relate to - and they are few and far between. Deep, deep down, he wants attention and love and a gentle hand, but at the same time likely wouldn't know how to respond to it.
  
  Self-critical: He used to compare himself to other people, particularly his siblings and his peers, until he couldn't take it anymore and stopped trying to compete. Sometimes he still wishes he could have made something of himself, but he tries not to think too hard about it. He is proud of Weston and Lydia, and has settled into the idea of being a disappointment. At least being disgraced, there's less pressure on him.
  
  Thrill-seeker: He's drawn to doing things that feel exciting or give him some kind of adrenaline rush. It all helps to distract him from the darkness that resides in him.
  
  Addictive: Leon has an addictive personality. He relies on sex, drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. Sometimes it is fun for him, but other times it is just a necessity.
  
  Unstable: Leon's moods can be extreme and irregular. His grief for his brother and then his father set him on a course of self-destruction, and without proper help he instead became dependent on alcohol and sex to numb and distract himself from the pain. He can be aggressive, careless, avoidant and cruel even to those he loves. Some days, he has a lust for life; other days he wishes he was dead.
  
  Views on society:
  His parents, specifically his mother, has made him hate it. He has no interest in impressing anyone but the women he sleeps with. With his emotional issues, Leon struggles to be himself in a society where there are such high expectations on what it means to be a gentleman. He knows he is unable to live up to them, so hasn't been able to find his place.

  History:
  Anyone who knows Leon would never have imagined that he had a happy, stable childhood.
  
  The Sinclaire siblings had a more fortunate upbringing than most, all born into a promising life of wealth, status and security. The Sinclaires were a highly attractive family: the respectable and social Marquess and Marchioness got along in society well and with their four golden-haired children and their invites to royal banquets, they were the envy of the town. Their father was a proud man, but extended that pride generously to his children, whom he dowsed with encouragement and praised where it was due. Leon always strived to hear that praise, but never quite believed he was worth it - he was never the brightest, or the fastest, his aim was never as accurate as his brothers'. He danced with two left feet, his hand-writing wasn't beautiful and he seldom won at card games. Ever competing with his two older brothers and sometimes his younger sister, too, Leon couldn't help but compare himself to them and conclude that he was inadequate.
  
  Their mother, Odette, took it upon herself to remind him of that at every opportunity. His father at least was kind about his shortcomings, but she saw little point investing in her youngest son, and paid no attention to his insecurities, instead carelessly broadening them. By the time he was a teenager, his relationship with her was hanging by a thread. He began to resent his siblings, too, particularly Gregory, who was proving himself to be a perfect heir and living up to all expectation, even that of their mother who seemed impossible to please.
  
  Then, when Leon was 16, Gregory fell gravely ill. It was a torturous time for the family because no doctor was able to confidently diagnose him or give a clear prognosis. They could only watch him wither away, until eventually, he succumbed to his illness. The family, whilst not perfect, was tight-knit, and so Gregory's death shook them to their core. There was no escape, no relief; his absence was felt everywhere, and constantly. Leon's grief turned inward and his self-hatred grew, judging himself for the resentment and jealousy he had once held towards his late brother. That a seemingly perfect young man like Gregory could surpass even the highest of standards and still not make it, it was enough to make Leon lose hope. He stopped trying to impress his father. He fought with his mother. He missed dinners, he misbehaved, he skipped royal invitations. He started drinking to numb the pain and sought ladies of the night to fill him with pleasure.
  
  Once some time had passed and the family began to pick themselves up again, Leon tried to collect himself and started making an effort again. Losing Gregory made him realise he needed to cherish his siblings, and so he did his best to make time for them and support them and spend time with them. But he couldn't seem to stop depending on alcohol and sex. His moods became erratic and he would feel out of control: lashing out in violent bursts of energy, harming himself, breaking down unexpectedly. He continued to try with his siblings but he couldn't stop the drinking and sometimes he felt so low he just didn't want to see them, and would leave home for days on end, practically living at local brothels.
  
  Two years later, just as he was beginning to get back on his feet, their family struck hard luck once again when the Marquess fell from his horse and suffered a head injury. After being in a coma for three days, he died, leaving Weston the new Marquess and in charge of the family. This time, being slightly older, Leon had more of a mind to step up, stick around for his older brother and take care of his younger sister. Unexpectedly, he managed to stay stable for a time, even managing to block out his mother's cruel, cold behaviour during the bereavement. But then, once Weston began to find his place as the new Marquess, Leon fell back into the shadows.
  
  The Sinclaires moved to London shortly thereafter, to reside with Odette's parents and nephews. Weston was to find a wife and Lydia was to make her debut in society. Meanwhile, Leon had no purpose. His mother had no aspirations for him, having given up on his future, and he had practically given up on himself, too. He wants to see his siblings end up happy and successful, but as for himself, he can't see too far into the future. He just takes life one day at a time.

  Social Gatherings: enjoys social gatherings and loves dancing, laughing, and engaging in conversation with people from all walks of life.

  Trying New Things: has a spontaneous streak and enjoys trying new activities, foods, or experiences.
  
  Dislikes:
  Betrayal and Dishonesty: cannot tolerate betrayal or dishonesty, especially from those she trusts. Her deep sense of loyalty makes her vulnerable to being hurt when others let her down or deceive her. Betrayal shakes her faith in people and leaves her feeling disillusioned.
  Financial Worries: the constant stress of financial struggles weighs heavily on Cherry. She dislikes the anxiety that comes with trying to make ends meet, especially when it affects her ability to care for her family and pursue her passion for music.
  Overworking and Burnout: dislikes the feeling of being overworked and the burnout that often follows. While she loves performing, the pressure to constantly earn money and keep up with her responsibilities can drain her energy and enthusiasm, leaving her feeling exhausted and unfulfilled.
  Judgmental Attitudes: dislikes judgmental people, especially those who look down on her because of her Irish heritage, her profession, or her family’s social standing. She has encountered prejudice and snobbery, and it frustrates her when people fail to see beyond stereotypes.
  Loneliness: dislikes the feeling of loneliness, particularly when she’s surrounded by people but still feels disconnected. The loneliness of being a performer—constantly in the spotlight yet often misunderstood—can be particularly hard for her.
  Confinement and Routine: dislikes feeling confined, whether it’s being stuck in one place for too long or being trapped in a monotonous routine. She thrives on variety and excitement, and too much predictability can make her feel restless and stifled.
  Illness and Vulnerability: struggles with seeing her loved ones, especially her mother, suffer from illness. It makes her feel helpless and afraid, and she dislikes the vulnerability that comes with being unable to control or fix the situation.
  
  Personality:
  Extraverted and Charismatic:
  Cherry is a social butterfly who thrives in the company of others. She’s naturally outgoing, and her vibrant energy draws people to her like a magnet. Whether she’s performing on stage or engaging in casual conversation, Cherry has an undeniable presence that lights up any room. Her warmth and genuine interest in others make her easy to talk to, and she often finds herself surrounded by friends, admirers, and acquaintances who are captivated by her lively spirit.
  Passionate and Creative:
  Cherry is deeply passionate about her craft. Music and performance are not just hobbies for her; they are the lifeblood that fuels her soul. She pours her heart into every note she sings, every line she delivers, and every gesture she makes on stage. Her creativity extends beyond her performances—Cherry has a keen eye for beauty and aesthetics, whether it’s in the way she dresses or the way she envisions her roles in the theatre.
  Empathetic and Nurturing:
  Despite her love for the spotlight, Cherry is also deeply empathetic and in tune with the emotions of those around her. Her own experiences of loss and hardship have made her sensitive to the struggles of others, and she often goes out of her way to offer comfort and support. She has a nurturing side, especially towards her younger siblings, whom she has helped raise since her father’s death. Cherry’s compassion extends to her friends and fellow performers, and she’s often the first to lend a helping hand or a listening ear.
  Adaptable and Resilient:
  Life has thrown many challenges Cherry’s way, from her family’s migration to a new area to the loss of her father and the financial struggles that followed. Despite these hardships, Cherry has proven to be incredibly resilient. She has a remarkable ability to adapt to new situations and find ways to thrive, even in the face of adversity. Her resourcefulness and determination have helped her navigate the complexities of life in London, and she’s never one to shy away from hard work if it means providing for her family.
  Playful and Spontaneous:
  Cherry has a playful, fun-loving side that shines through in everything she does. She has a quick wit and a love for making others laugh, often lightening the mood with a clever joke or a teasing remark. Her spontaneity makes her exciting to be around—Cherry is always up for an adventure. This spontaneity also makes her performances electric; she loves to surprise her audience with unexpected twists and flourishes.
  Emotionally Expressive:
  Cherry wears her heart on her sleeve. Her emotions are vibrant and visible, whether she’s elated, heartbroken, or anything in between. This emotional expressiveness makes her an incredibly compelling performer, as she can convey deep feelings through her voice and body language. However, it also makes her vulnerable—when she’s hurt or stressed, it’s hard for her to hide it, and those close to her can easily see when something is wrong.
  Struggles with Self-Doubt and Pressure:
  Despite her many strengths, Cherry is not immune to self-doubt. The weight of her responsibilities—caring for her sick mother, supporting her siblings, and maintaining her career—can sometimes overwhelm her. She worries about whether she’s doing enough, whether she’s making the right choices, and whether she can keep up the facade of being the strong, capable woman everyone expects her to be. The pressure to be the family’s provider and the fear of losing her passion for music due to stress can cause her to second-guess herself and her abilities.
  Yearning for Freedom and Fulfillment:
  Beneath her vibrant exterior, Cherry harbors a deep yearning for freedom and personal fulfillment. While she loves her family dearly, the constant demands placed on her sometimes make her feel trapped. She longs for a time when she can sing purely for the joy of it, without the weight of financial pressures or family obligations. This desire for freedom is a driving force in her life, and it often conflicts with her sense of duty, leading to internal struggles as she tries to balance her needs with those of her loved ones.
  Loyal and Protective:
  Cherry is fiercely loyal to those she loves, particularly her family. She would go to great lengths to protect her siblings and ensure their well-being, even if it means sacrificing her own happiness. This loyalty also extends to her close friends and colleagues in the theatre—once someone has earned her trust and affection, Cherry will stand by them through thick and thin.
  
  Personality Type:
  ESFP (ENTERTAINER)
  Moral Alignment:
  True Good
  
  Views of Society?:
  Cherry has experienced prejudice due to her profession as a performer. She is critical of societal attitudes that discriminate against people based on their background, nationality, or occupation. The snobbery and judgment she has faced make her wary of societal norms that perpetuate inequality and division.

  History:
  Charity "Cherry" Gallagher was born in Ireland to a loving, albeit humble, family. Her early years in the lush Irish countryside were filled with laughter, music, and stories passed down from her ancestors. At the tender age of 8, Cherry's life took a significant turn when her family relocated to London, seeking better opportunities in a land that promised more than their beloved but struggling homeland. The transition was challenging, with Cherry having to adjust to a new culture and way of life, but her naturally outgoing and adaptable personality helped her quickly make friends and find her footing.
  
  Cherry's father, a strong and hard-working man, took up various labor-intensive jobs to provide for the family. However, life dealt the Gallaghers a cruel hand when Cherry was just 12 years old—her father passed away unexpectedly, leaving her mother to raise Cherry and her younger siblings alone. The loss was devastating, but it also ignited a fierce determination in Cherry. She was now the eldest child in a family without a father, and she knew she had to step up.
  
  To help support her family, Cherry took on any odd jobs she could find. She cleaned houses, ran errands, and even worked in a local pub when she was old enough. Despite the long hours and hard work, Cherry's natural zest for life never dimmed. She had always been drawn to music and performance, a love nurtured by the songs and stories of her Irish heritage. Her true passion was revealed when she stumbled upon the world of theatre and opera.
  
  One fateful day, while running an errand near a local theatre, Cherry heard the powerful notes of an opera singer practicing inside. Mesmerized, she snuck inside and watched in awe as the performers rehearsed. It was at that moment that she knew she had found her calling. Cherry began spending every spare moment at the theatre, soaking in the performances and dreaming of one day standing on that stage herself.
  
  Her persistence caught the eye of an older, kind-hearted vocal coach who saw potential in the bright-eyed young woman. Recognizing Cherry's raw talent and unwavering determination, the coach offered to train her for free, on the condition that Cherry would help with renovations at the theatre. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, and Cherry eagerly agreed. Under her coach's guidance, she not only learned how to sing opera but also mastered the piano and harp, as well as acting, turning her into a well-rounded performer.
  
  Cherry's hard work and dedication paid off when she secured a full-time position at the very theatre she had helped renovate. Her performances were captivating, and audiences were drawn to her natural charm and emotive voice. Night after night, she enchanted the crowds, and her name began to spread throughout the region. The money she earned allowed her family to live comfortably for the first time in years, lifting a tremendous burden off her shoulders.
  
  However, just as Cherry's star was rising, life threw another challenge her way. Her mother, who had always been her source of strength and inspiration, fell gravely ill. The illness weighed heavily on Cherry, who was now faced with the dual responsibilities of caring for her mother and ensuring her siblings were provided for. The passion she once felt for performing began to wane as the stress of her responsibilities mounted. She continued to sing, but the joy that had once filled her heart was overshadowed by worry and exhaustion.
  
  Now, Cherry finds herself at a crossroads. Her once-vibrant spirit is dampened by the constant worry over her mother's health and the never-ending pressure to keep her family afloat. Though she still performs at the theatre, the spark that once drove her has dimmed, and she finds it increasingly difficult to balance her love for the stage with the demands of her family.
  
  Despite her struggles, Cherry remains fiercely determined to care for her mother and siblings. She takes on additional performances at private events, pushing herself to her limits to ensure that there is always food on the table and that her mother receives the best medical care possible. But beneath her brave exterior, Cherry longs for the days when she sang purely for the love of it, free from the burdens that now weigh her down.
  As Cherry navigates this difficult time in her life, she must find a way to rekindle her passion for music and performance while also coming to terms with the responsibilities that have been thrust upon her.
