12/22/22: Hess’ Character page 

“Hess” Hester Knight/ Mrs. Hester Knight Grey 

Mrs. Agnes Weston’s maid with a mysterious past. Also connected to another family that Mrs. Weston knows. 

Coachman Dave and his wife Carol’s adopted daughter. 

Matilda’s second love and first wife.

She looks younger than Tilly but she’s actually a year older than her. Hess has a petit frame but she’s stronger than she looks. 

Some of the drama surrounding her character is related to her past including the nickname she received from the other girls at Artemis’ Huntresses (the London lesbian bar in the story) which was “Girlfriend Non Grata.” Her reputation was such that the girls who met Matilda in the bar were surprised that she married Hester, much to Dave and Carol’s annoyance. 

Birthday: May 25th (Gemini) 

She is a femme with a secretive nature. 

A lot of her fashion inspiration is “doll-like”. She wears a lot of lacey/frilly clothes. She looks delicate too- her style is meant to contrast the more earthy Matilda who likes the practicality of workman’s clothing.
