headcanons:

dovey did not have the formal education that most of her peers might have had. while there was tutoring during their travels and some formal academics, the subjects were loosely structured to say the least. lessons were inconsistent and often did not involve more than an overview of basics they'd already forgotten. dovey is particularly insecure about this shortcoming and hates to appear ignorant.

dovey has an exceedingly grumpy (and stupid) chartreux cat named ampersand. her brother fennix gifted this pet to her a handful of years ago as a birthday present. she adores him to the point that there would be no hesitation enacting violence to protect the kitty.

insomnia is something that dovey has struggled with since a very young age. as they get older, it has not been better, but their coping skills are. usually, dovey manages to handle the lack of sleep without much fuss. however, there are occasions that it takes a larger toll. also, there are nights that need to be filled with something to do and as a result of being a weak reader, dovey tends to endeavor in more creative pursuits.

biography:

[ I will make this sound better soon but the gist is here. ] dovey's parents were brought together through an arranged marriage. while it may have never been a great love, there was fondness and companionship there. fennix was born first and several years before his sisters. he struggled a lot to live up to certain expectation placed on him. next born was starina who was endlessly doted upon. not long after, dovey was born. their family is nomadic and travels in a caravan as merchants of various textiles, instruments, and arts. her father was very interested in becoming a 'legitimate' family in the eyes of society. Her mother seemed to be somewhere else, even when they were in the same room. fennix occupied a lot of their father's attention, starina usually took care of dovey despite only being a bit older. dovey more or less roved a little wild as they traveled, but had opportunities to learn from many different types of people and hear stories of all variety. an elderly woman in Italy introduced her to the cello, a condescendingly particular frenchman taught her to create appliques, a loud-laughing irish woman pressed a deck of tarot cards in her hands. this was an environment in which dovey thrived. as it goes, years passed, things changed... more things than she ever wishes to think about, but still, a curious, excitable child grew into a world-embracing romantic with grand ideals and a quick-witted humor. despite a desire to follow through with her parents wishes that she marry well, nothing fruitful could be found in america so dovey left as a ward to close family friends in an attempt to enter society.

wanted connections:

pen pals || since their family traveled so much, most of dovey's childhood friends would be through letters anyway. why not one across the pond? don't I know you? || someone that dovey has the strangest feeling that they've met before, but something is different... do they have a secret? do they know hers? tutor || of the academic or etiquette variety. there is much that dovey will need to study. it wouldn't hurt to have some sort of guide.
