I’d just love to hear the who’s who.
Names, ages, place in the class hierarchy, whose blood related, who wishes they were/weren’t related, who would stab someone with a hatpin in defense of their bestie, etc… just a sketch of the main cast and their defining traits. Whatever you feel like sharing :)
Honestly, great idea! Let's do general breakdown based on family. (These are just the broad strokes, if you want to know more about a specific character, let me know!)
The Ellingtons
Lord Henry Ellington
Oldest/Eldest Son and Baron (or might make him a Duke, it feels like regency romances demand at least one Duke)
32
Aloof, sarcastic, but a good man
Was done with his younger brother's shit yesterday
Childhood friends with Captain Harris and Frederick Hamilton
Engaged to Juliana Hamilton
Lady Margaret (Ellington) Chapel
Middle Child/Eldest Sister
30
Understanding, practically minded, warm
Had been happily married for several years with four children to show for it
Cares for both of her brothers deeply and often acts as the bridge between them
Thomas Ellington
Youngest and Second Son
28
Either gay or bi, jury is still out
Adventurous, Eccentric, Deeply Feeling
Spends most if not all of his time in London investing in plays and up and coming artists; the only reason his father didn't cut him off is that he is very good at spotting new talent
Too interesting to ignore; even if the company he keeps is considered scandalous, everybody want him at their party
The Hamiltons
Frederick Hamilton
Eldest Son
Died nine years before the start of the story
Outgoing, open minded, kind
He and Juliana were exceptionally close growing up; often Juliana felt he was the only person in the world who truly understood her
Louisa Hamilton
Juliana's mother
50
Ambitious, exacting, stubborn
Recently widowed
She and Juliana had never seen fully eye to eye on most things, especially after Frederick's death
Juliana Hamilton
No noble titles, but the daughter of a gentleman
26
Second born/Eldest daughter
Passionate, Intelligent, Self Controlled
Engaged to Lord Henry Ellington
Friend to Gwendolyn Harris
Frederick's death left her devastated and when it became clear her parents were more concerned about what the loss of their heir meant for their financial standing rather than mourning the loss of their son, Juliana ran away. Nine months later, Captain Harris, found her and brought her home sporting cropped hair and a broken heart. The family covered it up saying Juliana had been in mourning all that while. Juliana was content to live in the lie and quietly retire into the country as a spinster since the birth of her younger brother, Theodore, assured the money stay within the family. The death of her father, however, brought to light just how dire their situation was and it became necessary for her to find a husband. Luckily for them, Lord Henry Ellington was ready and willing to fill that roll.
Theodore Hamilton
Youngest/second son
8
The Harrises
Captain Edmund Harris
Oldest/Eldest Son
Son of a gentleman, but a rather poor one
30
Steadfast, plain spoken, caring
Navel captain and a very successful one at that
Devoted to his sister and mother and tries his best to support and care for both of them
Cares for Juliana as a second sister
Is the only one besides Juliana, her father and Finn to know exactly what Juliana had been doing in London (as far as he knows)
Gwendolyn Harris
Second born/Eldest daughter
27
Bold, Lively, Non conforming
Close friends with Juliana, although had not been told about where Juliana was during those nine months nor asked
Cares for her mother since her brother is away at sea leading to her rarely leaving her own small neighborhood
Has made the most of it and is now determined to remain a spinster, having come to like her independence
Other
Finn (rest of his name TBD)
Son of cobbler and a cook
Writer/Playwright
29
Charming, Insightful, Playful
Met Juliana after she had run away to London and disguised herself as a man. He quickly figured out her ruse, but rather than rat her out, decided to help her reasoning that things like this didn't happen everyday. If anything, it would be a good story. He and Juliana fell in love, but when they were discovered by Captain Harris, Finn decided to walk away not wanting to ruin Juliana's life to tying her to him; a writer with barely two pounds to his name. It's been his biggest regret.
Current patron: Thomas Ellington
Robert (rest of his name TBD)
Working class
Director
30
Creative, Clear headed, blunt
Friend to Finn and Juliana (when she was disguised as a man)
The only person Finn told about Juliana's real identity after she left with Captain Harris
Current patron: Thomas Ellington
Blackmailer
Somebody who knows everything and has been extorting the Hamiltons for years
