This Season's Ladies
Lady of Devonshire
The younger sister of the Duke, she has enjoyed the life of a free spirit, able to stay at home and learn all there is about the world. Much more interested in literature than her social endeavors, it came as a surprise when her mother announced that she would be partaking in this year’s season. Debuting and being pranced around like some show pony is the last thing she wants but she can’t say no to her mother.

Daughter of the Marquess of Essex - taken by social
Once considered a jewel of London high society, she has once again returned to London to find a husband. You see, she thought she had stumbled upon the perfect suitor about two years ago, a newcomer who had an abundance of wealth and a charming smile, and he was incredibly fond of her. They courted and were quickly engaged, everything was going according to plan. However, right before the wedding, he had convinced her to elope with him, but he did it to steal her inheritance. He managed to get away with half, leaving behind a broken heart. Her presence this season is causing quite a stir among the ladies and gentlemen.

Daughter of the Earl of Langley - Reserved for junegloom
This diamond in the rough is someone who has lived a life of luxury, adopted by her wealthy aunt and uncle who raised her as their own. She’s known nothing outside of the world they have spun for her and they intend to keep it that way. However, there are whispers among the high class that she doesn’t belong among them, I mean, after all, she doesn’t even look related to either of them.

The Eldest Daughter of Baron Fitzroy
As the eldest daughter, she has always been expected to set the standards for the family. She must choose the perfect husband and save her other sisters from possibly losing the family fortune when her father dies. It’s a difficult price to pay when you have five younger sisters and a sickly mother who can’t fight against her husband’s demands. From the start, she has been doing everything in her power to become the perfect wife, but in the process, it seems like she’s only succeeded in losing herself.

The Daughter of Viscount Brisbane
The only daughter of Viscount Brisbane, she’s been groomed by her aunt since birth on how to become the perfect bride. With no mother to call her own, she grew up with the strong hand of her father and the controlling gaze of her aunt, never allowing her to have a hair out of place or a nail that was ever so slightly chipped. The season is her first taste of freedom and frankly, it would be a waste for her not to enjoy it. So who can fault this newly debuted dove the chance to spread her wings and have some fun?

The Daughter of Viscount Berkely
Raised out in the countryside far away from London’s high society, she was never forced to endure what most of these girls go through. There was no poking and prodding when her corset wasn’t laced tight enough and she didn’t get in trouble for sneaking an extra piece of cake. But now she’s in the public eye and she has to pretend like she knows what she’s doing, even though she hasn’t got a clue. Let’s just hope she doesn’t attract unwanted attention and end up in a nasty scandal.

The Youngest Daughter of Baron Huxley
Her older sister ran away with a farmer and never looked back, leaving [Blank] to pick up where she left off. It was a lot of responsibility to fall on her shoulders, especially since she wasn’t expecting it nor was she planning on debuting for at least two years. Naturally, it’s difficult for a girl who hasn’t been training continuously to step into society and secure a match. She’s pitied by many in society and those in the season this year don’t even feel threatened by her. But maybe they should.

The Second Eldest Daughter of the Earl of Durham
If reputation and status mean anything to you, it certainly doesn’t for her. Rumors have surrounded her since she first debuted at the young age of 17 years old and hasn’t been back in society since. There are stories about her and she never confirms or denies them. The most recent one is her previously being the mistress of a very wealthy and powerful man, but the wife found out and that’s why she’s back in the season, hoping to find someone to tie her down. Now, who would be brave enough to do that?

This Season’s Gentlemen
The Duke of Devonshire - taken by social
Not one to settle down, he hasn’t attended the season since he was 18 years old. He has always been very quiet about his personal life, only rumors about him having a lover hidden away in the countryside giving any information about him. However, since the untimely death of his father, he is now forced to choose a future wife, much to his own disappointment. There’s a possibility he is only doing it for a show as his heart may be completely taken by the one he has kept hidden from the public eye for oh so long.

The Oldest Son of Baron Lyly
Entitled and full of himself, he is rather disliked by this season’s gentlemen. Maybe it’s jealousy, or maybe it’s because this boy has a bad attitude, but he is the one who is known to cause quite a stir. Whether it’s because he messed with someone’s engagement or toyed with a girl’s heart, but he has a reputation for making a mess of every social season he attends. Maybe this year he will finally decide to keep his hands to himself and find someone worth settling down with.

The Son of the Earl of Kent
A sweetheart and someone everyone wants a piece of, he’s the perfect husband. Sweet, understanding, kind, smart, what’s not to like? Unfortunately, it seems like his gaze is controlled by his all-knowing mother who knows all the gossip that surrounds every leading lady of this year’s season. With someone like her by his side, he’ll be lucky to sneak one dance in before June hits us with its lovely summer weather.

The Son of Viscount Haddington - taken by social
Have you ever heard of Viscount Haddington and his son? No? Well, neither have I for that matter! A complete dark horse, nothing but an air of mystery surrounds him, and honestly, he hasn’t done anything to show off his character in the slightest. Just a blank slate and someone the other men need to look out for. I mean how often does a mysterious stranger grace our popular social season with a spotless reputation?

The Son of the Earl of Langley - Reserved for junegloom
Haven’t you heard? He’s been abroad in Greece for the last three years, soaking up the wonderful oceanside sun and the unique culture the country has to offer. But now he’s back in London and he’s here to show everyone what he’s learned. He may not have stayed in the city of love, but certainly, something has turned this man into a casanova that nobody expected to see.

The Former Prince of Westphalia
A prince without a kingdom, how sad. The monarchy ended this year and now this ex-royal is looking for a wife to fill the emptiness in his new home. He is known for his cold exterior and piercing gaze, but maybe there’s more to this prince than you know. He lost his family, his palace, and his title, all he has left is his life and money, and honestly, who can say no to that?

The Oldest Son of the Duke Talbot
Being the oldest son of any family must be difficult, but especially so for this particular suitor. His sister is quite famous for marrying a duke who is related to our loving royal family, and naturally high expectations are finding their way to him as well. He has a name and reputation to uphold, hopefully following in the footsteps of his sister and finding quite a perfect match. But what will he do about his family's fortune slowly running out? Wouldn’t it just be embarrassing if he found himself to be just a poor pauper while his sister lives the life of a royal? I’d hate to hear what his father would say.

The Youngest Son of Baron Fitzgerald
Our darling Baron Fitzgerald has done nothing but gift London with the finest bachelors every season. They are all quite dazzling and managed to find equally precious wives within the first month of the event. So why on Earth is this one so different? A son of a Baron who cannot match his brothers in anything other than academics? Why it’s simply laughable! I do hope he can do more than that or he may be the first Fitzgerald to attend every social season until he is an old man.

Full Name: Isabella Rosemary Winchester - Lady of Devonshire
Nicknames: Bella, Izzy
Age: 25
Birthday: March 12th
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Role: Avid Reader and Book Enthusiast Face claim: Millie Bobby Brown
1703705361178.png

Height: 5'3"
Hair: Chestnut brown, long, usually worn loose or in a casual braid
Eyes: Deep hazel
Modifications : None
Scars: A faint one on her left forearm from a childhood accident
Distinguishing Features: She has a delicate necklace that she wears constantly, a family heirloom with an intricate pendant.

Fears: Claustrophobia, losing her ability to read, failure
Likes: Reading (various genres), quiet cafes, antique bookshops, rainy days
Dislikes: Loud noises, crowded places, interruptions while reading, people who disrespect books
Hobbies: Reading (of course!), writing short stories, exploring new bookstores, attending literary events

Personality: Isabella is a reserved and introspective young woman with a deep passion for literature. She's often seen lost in the world of books, preferring their company to large social gatherings. Her calm demeanor hides a vivid imagination and a witty sense of humor, though she tends to reveal these traits only to those she trusts deeply. Bella is kind-hearted and empathetic, finding solace and understanding within the pages of the stories she adores. She values intelligence and depth in conversations, often engaging in discussions about various literary themes or sharing her favorite book recommendations.

1703705558252.png
Family: Isabella is close to her parents, especially her father, who instilled in her a love for reading.

Reputation: Within high society, Isabella is known as the quiet and intellectual young woman who frequents literary events. Her reputation is one of sophistication and intelligence, admired by those who appreciate her passion for literature.

Rumors or Scandals: There have been no significant rumors or scandals surrounding Isabella. However, some gossip circles speculate on her reclusive nature, wondering if there's more to her quiet demeanor.

Background: Isabella grew up surrounded by books, thanks to her father's vast collection. She delved into various genres at a young age, finding herself enamored with the power of storytelling. Her family's status in high society afforded her the opportunity to attend exclusive literary events, further fueling her love for books. Despite the societal pressures, she's always been content to lose herself in the pages of a good story rather than pursue the more social aspects of her status.

Other: Isabella is a regular contributor to a small book club and dreams of opening her bookstore one day, curating a collection of literary wonders from around the world.

Questions 1703705721221.png

"How do you feel about the gossip that's already circulating?"
Isabella:

*smiles softly* Gossip tends to be a curious blend of imagination and speculation, much like the stories I cherish. I've learned to take it in stride, knowing that understanding someone takes more than just what's whispered behind closed doors.

"Are you excited to finally be part of the season?"


Isabella: Excitement might not be the word; perhaps intrigued. It's an opportunity to experience a different chapter of life, even if it's not exactly within my usual pages. There's potential for intriguing conversations and, who knows, maybe discovering a kindred spirit among the social swirl.

"Is there anyone who has caught your eye?"


Isabella: Not romantically, but there are a few individuals whose minds seem as intriguing as the books on my shelves. It's the depth of thought and conversation that captivates me.

"Are you pursuing anyone?"


Isabella: *laughs softly* My pursuits tend to revolve around the next chapter in a novel rather than a romantic endeavor. I'm content to let fate turn the pages as it will.

"Who is the person you dislike the most this season?"1703705833011.png


Isabella: Dislike is a strong word. I believe everyone has their story, much like every book has its pages. However, there are some whose values and behaviors differ greatly from mine, making connection or understanding challenging.

"Do you think you'll be married by the end of the season?"


Isabella: *smiles* My aspirations lie more in discovering a rare book or engaging in a stimulating conversation than in tying the knot. Marriage, much like a well-loved book, is a chapter I believe should unfold naturally and at the right time.

temperament

Banana-Republic-Spring-2022-Campaign-016.jpg


VICES
▹prideful perfection ;
mohe struggles with being wrong in anything. he either speaks when he is confident in what he says, or he says nothing at all, for a pride in never wanting to be caught uttering any false statement. he will too eagerly defend his position and sees many grey opinions in black and white. a devils advocate is something he appreciates, but the middle ground is something he struggles to walk towards.
▹callousness ; in many moments, particularly if it concerns fact, mohe struggles to comprehend the possible emotions of those around him tied to the topic of conversation. this results in an abrasive direct way of speaking from mohe, without regard for the feelings of others around him. it is never intentional, although it does occur often.
▹obsessive ;
when something captures mohe's attentions, nothing short of a war waging next to his ears could deter him from his goal. his obsessive nature has been found beneficial in some situations of learning and betterment, and a detriment in others that the intense nature of his focus either ended in the failure of the goal, or a complex pile of emotions mohe is not dutifully skilled in processing.
VIRTUES
▹articulate ;
when it comes to communication mohe is eloquently skilled in sharing knowledge and experiences with others. he highly values truth, to the extreme of even if he is unsure of what he feels he will not express it for fear of lying to the person. he does love to hear concepts taught in different styles and approaches. teaching is one thing he greatly appreciates; the ability to share knowledge across barriers.
▹gracious ; forgiveness is something easily given by mohe. he eagerly admires the ability for humans to grow and change into better men and women. while his heart burns for justice, he seeks a system where justice comes with grace, the guilty and the victim together in reconciliation. of course the world cannot operate in this way, and so mohe's grace is mostly seen in personal relations.
▹selfless ; while being born a prince does not promise a selfless man, being raised in the customs and values of westphalia as its prince almost certainly does. mohe rarely takes though to his own needs, self care is only something done for the benefit of the comfort of society, never out of self indulgence. while not the most empathic man, mohe is exceedingly considerate when it comes to acts of service. his words might not speak of a caring man, but his actions reflect the inner drive of a noble man.
acquaintance

FAMILY mohe was born the only son of king wiya and queen ani of westphalia. he was close with his family as the kingdom was alive, yet as both the health of his country and his father took a turn, their relationships became much more strained under the weight of death. in an attempt to boost the pride of his people and ease their way into their new country and kinsmen, mohe and the former queen ani concluded that his participation in the traditional season would suffice to start the integration from a higher level. not wanting their people to feel alone. mohe struggles with his father, as the death of his country and the sickness of his father has made him isolate from needing to see the pain of his fathers possible near death.
REPUTATION his reputation among the people of former westphalia is strong and principled. he is most loyal to his work and the people. to those outside of his former reign, mohe is mostly known for his cold and direct demeanor. one that negates the warmth of civil conversation, and adds an air of pride and arrogance to an untrained eye.
the reputation of his family is much more amiable, although the name austen of westphalia does not insight any eager respect, simply a mild admiration and vague indifference.

RUMORS not many scandalous rumors surround mohe, although there is whisperings of his true feelings towards his new sovereign, and if he would take the chance of participating in the season as an opportunity to enact revenge in some odd manner.
BACKGROUND prince mohe was born the prince of a dying kingdom. the kingdom of westphalia had rarely known independence, and as such the dissolving of the kingdom was no stranger to the people and the kingdoms past. westphalia had been a kingdom of outcasts and refugees many centuries ago, and when war would break out among larger countries westphalia fell in-between. ownership of the land was coveted among kingdoms, and westphalia never gained the population to grow a surmounting opposition to any oppressor. while the pride of the prince might suggest bitterness reigned in the hearts of the westphalian people, a history of amiable loyalty suggested otherwise. do not think that the people of westphalia consider themselves true citizens of any other country, but they will live in the graces of their new reigning sovereign, trusting the pattern of their history, and proud to call themselves of another sort, not simply citizens of england.
this most recent dissolution was the result of a threatening war from a much less amiable enemy on the other side of westphalia's borders. with a 3 year long drought, a sickly king, and no army to provide, the king made an agreement with england to dissolve his own country under their banner to save his people.
mohe himself grew up in all the graces of being a prince. well trained and taught from his infancy all sorts of scholarly advances and social sciences so that he might one day be able to lead. this was not something the prince took lightly, mohe put all that was himself into the building of a decent future king. so when the kingdom was given over to england, mohe felt a deep sense of failure, and and even deeper loss of purpose. he was trained for years to lead people and now he was nothing more than a figure head who still felt the weight of duty to his people, and not the power he needed to protect them. in this new role mohe must find a way to satiate his hunger for provision and protection, and if possible, not feel the unbearable weight of failure.

psyche









Malcolm Benedict Hale, the spirited scion of the Hale household. Despite the suffocating embrace of boarding school's rigid rules and his mother's disapproving glares, Malcolm has managed to maintain an irrepressible zest for life. As an adolescent, he effortlessly charmed his way through governesses' good graces, left schoolmasters in awe, and even earned his father's elusive stamp of approval—no easy feat in the Hale clan. In a mansion steeped in social expectations, Malcolm became the embodiment of the ideal sibling while quietly navigating the sea of propriety. Behind his demure exterior lies a charismatic soul, donning a facade of cheerfulness to ward off judgment about his supposed spinelessness. Everyone knows, though, that when it comes to his mother, Malcolm's resilience wavers on the most crucial of days.

Standing at a modest height, Malcolm possesses an unassuming charm that belies the weight of his family name. His dark brown hair, neatly combed to perfection, frames a face that holds the echo of countless smiles exchanged in the pursuit of societal acceptance. Malcolm's eyes, a shade of blue that dances with mischief when he thinks no one is watching, betray the inner spark that keeps his spirits alive. There's a hint of weariness in the lines on his face; a testament to the constant balancing act between familial expectations and personal desires. Despite the external poise, Malcolm's wardrobe often reflects a subtle rebellion—perhaps a quiet protest against the suffocating conformity that surrounds him. In a world where every gesture is scrutinized, Malcolm Hale remains a paradox. He is a blend of genteel manners and a spirit that refuses to be entirely subdued.






likes

Literature, music, chess, horseback riding.






dislikes

Extravegance, confrontation, lack of privacy.






fears

Attachment, snakes, getting lost, being alone.






hobbies

Playing piano, sketching, reading, writing.

history









Malcolm, who was born into the esteemed Hale family, holds the distinguished title of the Earl of Kent's firstborn son. His birthright places him at the forefront of societal expectations and family responsibilities. The Hale lineage, known for its longstanding reputation and contributions to the monarchy, cast a formidable shadow over Malcolm's early years. From the moment Malcolm drew his first breath, his mother, Lady Cecilia Hale, draped him in the heavy cloak of aristocratic aspirations. Lady Cecilia, a woman of unwavering determination and a firm believer in maintaining the family's social standing, instilled in Malcolm the importance of upholding tradition and adhering to the rigid expectations placed upon their noble lineage.

Malcolm's childhood unfolded within the grand walls of the Hale estate. It was there Malcolm would begin to hear the echoes of past glories reverberating through ornate halls and manicured gardens. The presence of strict governesses and a regimented boarding school education framed his early years, providing a backdrop of discipline that would shape his character. His father, the Earl of Kent, a man of measured wisdom and reserved demeanor, offered sporadic moments of approval that became cherished milestones for Malcolm. These moments served as a shield against the oppressive weight of Lady Cecilia's relentless scrutiny. Malcolm, in his quest for paternal acknowledgment, navigated the treacherous waters of societal expectations with an outward display of demure civility.

The Regency era, with its intricate dances and formalities, became the stage upon which Malcolm performed the delicate balancing act between familial duty and personal desires. Lady Cecilia's overbearing influence and the suffocating grasp of societal norms molded Malcolm into the picture of the ideal heir—quiet, courteous, and the epitome of regency-era gentility. Despite the polished facade, Malcolm harbored a spirit yearning for genuine connection and personal pursuits. His overbearing mother's influence, however, has made every step away from the prescribed path a delicate dance of rebellion. Malcolm has always loved his mother. When she is not adhering to the structure of a forcible matchmaker and wife to an Earl, she has her moments of warmth. But, as always, Malcolm feels as though he must put his best foot forward to ensure his mother is pleased above all else this season.






reputation

Considered the 'ideal' heir, a family man through and through, a bit spineless in regards to his mother's audacious spirit, civil and courteous, he's incredibly cheerful as well as possessing an incredibly wealth of knowledge.






rumors or scandals

Whispers of financial strain within the Hale family have surfaced, suggesting that the Earl of Kent might not be as prosperous as his esteemed title implies. These rumors hint at hidden debts and financial challenges that threaten the family's standing among the aristocracy. There have also been whispers circulating about strained relations within the Hale family, particularly between Malcolm and his overbearing mother, Lady Cecilia. Some suggest that the mother-son relationship is marked by tension and unspoken conflicts, adding a layer of familial drama to the Hale household.

connections

















Lady Cecilia Anetta Hale



Lady Cecilia's expectations for Malcolm are nothing short of exacting. She envisions him as the perfect heir, a beacon of aristocratic virtue who upholds the family's longstanding reputation. The weight of her aspirations is a constant presence in Malcolm's life, molding him into the image of a model son, bound by societal norms and familial duty. Lady Cecilia, while stern and demanding, occasionally bestows moments of approval upon Malcolm. These instances become precious tokens, rare affirmations that offer glimpses of the approval he has sought for much of his life. However, they are fleeting, and the fear of falling short of her expectations remains a constant source of tension.

















Eulalia Carmella-Ann Moore.



The bond between Malcolm and Eulalia is a source of solace and understanding within the ornate walls of the Hale estate. Eulalia, possessing a warmth and wisdom that complements Malcolm's quiet demeanor, acts as a confidante and ally in the intricate dance of high-society life. She is a beacon of support, offering encouragement when Lady Cecilia's expectations weigh heavily on Malcolm's shoulders. Eulalia, having navigated the complexities of familial duty herself, serves as a guiding presence, subtly encouraging Malcolm to embrace his individuality within the constraints of their aristocratic existence. Their relationship is marked by shared glances and unspoken understanding—a silent alliance that becomes a sanctuary amidst the societal expectations and familial intricacies that surround them. Despite her marriage a few years ago, she tends to visit regularly with her children to visit her younger siblings and bear Lady Celcila's unwavering scorn.

















Clarence Chauncey Hale.



Malcolm's relationship with his younger brother, Clarence, is a testament to the complexities of sibling dynamics within the Hale family. Despite the differences in age and temperament, Malcolm assumes a protective role over Clarence, recognizing the challenges that lie ahead for his younger sibling. While Malcolm, molded by his mother's stern influence, embodies the epitome of restraint and conformity, Clarence exudes a more carefree and spirited nature. Malcolm, ever mindful of his role as the elder brother, endeavors to shield Clarence from the harsher aspects of their mother's expectations. He attempts to impart gentle lessons in navigating the delicate dance of societal norms rather than force Clarence to suffer their mother's cruel teachings.

















Dorothea Pauline Hale.



Malcolm's relationship with his younger sister is a sanctuary of warmth and understanding. Dorothea, with her lively spirit and infectious laughter, serves as a refreshing contrast to the weight of societal expectations that Malcolm bears. Just like with Clarence, Malcolm is a protective figure in Dorothea's life. He attempts to offer guidance and solace amid the rigid norms of their aristocratic upbringing. Malcolm finds in Dorothea a confidante, someone with whom he can momentarily shed the constraints of his role as the heir to the Hale legacy. Dorothea, in turn, admires her brother's composure and seeks refuge in his reassuring presence.

questions

















How do you feel about the gossip that's already circulating?

Ah, the whispers of the season! Always fluttering about like persistent butterflies. Gossip, much like the perfumed air at a society ball, is an inevitable part of our existence. I've become accustomed to the dance of rumors. It's a delicate balance, and while the rumors may nibble at the edges of truth, I've mastered the art of composure. In the end, one learns to navigate the sea of whispers with a practiced smile, a nod, and an air of dignified indifference. The gaze of society is relentless; but, I suppose, there is an element of truth to some of the least egregious tales you hear within high society.






Are you excited to finally be part of the season?

Excitement, you ask? Well, there's a certain anticipation that accompanies the whirlwind of events—the grand balls, the stifling gatherings, and the scrutinizing gazes of the ton. While the prospect of socializing within these gilded walls may not set my heart aflutter, there's a nuanced thrill in navigating the labyrinth of propriety. Excitement, perhaps, mingles with a hint of apprehension. One must tread carefully, for the dance is as intricate as it is perilous, and the spotlight of society can be unforgiving.






Is there anyone who has caught your eye?

One must be weary within the ever-watchful eyes of society. But, I will admit.. in the grand tapestry of social gatherings, there are certainly faces that stand out amongst the crowds. The idea of someone catching my eye is like a delicate waltz—a dance I navigate with practiced ease. Amid the sea of poised debutantes and eligible suitors, I find myself drawn to the nuances of intellect and grace. Yes, some captivate my attention; but in the realm of societal decorum, such revelations demand a modicum of privacy that I don't feel inclined to reveal.






Are you pursuing anyone?

As of now, my attention is devoted to familial obligations and societal expectations. It's a demanding partner, you see, requiring both time and dedication. But, it is only the beginning of the season. Time will tell where my duties shall lie in the future.






Who is the person you dislike most this season?

While there may be individuals with whom I share... differing opinions or whose company I find less enjoyable, outright dislike seems an excessive sentiment to harbor. However, there are, of course, those whose values and actions diverge from my own. It is in navigating these differences with grace that the true test of one's character lies, and I am determined to maintain a semblance of decorum even amidst such challenges.






Do you think you'll be married by the end of the season?

The prospect of marriage is a delicate dance, is it not? A question that lingers in the air like the fragrance of hothouse flowers. As the heir to the Hale name, expectation cast a shadow upon my path; and, the matchmaking mamas weave their intricate schemes. Yet, the heart, dear interlocutor, is not easily tethered by the threads of convention. The season unfolds with its array of eligible ladies, each a beautiful portrait of such refinement and grace. Marriage, a union sanctioned by duty, is a consideration; but, one must tread carefully in matters of the heart.

“I LOVE IT WHEN THE NIGHT SKY
MAKES ME FEEL INSIGNIFICANT.”



— DOSSIER

NAME
: Adolphus Hugh Fitzgerald
NICKNAME: Dolph by the few friends that he has. Dolphie or Hughie by his blasted older brothers.
AGE: 20 years old
DATE OF BIRTH: April 25th
GENDER: Male

SEXUALITY: Unsure
ROLE: Son of Baron Fitzgerald


— VISAGE

FACECLAIM
: Robert Ri’chard as Marcel Ste. Marie

Light brown skin that is often illuminated by pale moonlight, sprinkled with freckles that his mother once told him was stardust from falling asleep beneath the night sky. They dance across the bridge of his broad nose and the apples of his cheeks. Boyish is the term often associated with him, a baby faced young man who is the spitting image of his mother. Words of sordid affairs and legitimacy struck his heart as accurately as a hunter’s arrow. He gazes at the sky above, wishing that he too could float above it all, to become a thing so admired by others. Until then he instead fixes those light gray eyes into a distant stare less they spill the inner workings of his mind onto his cheeks.

Adolphus has long lost the boyish charm and curious spark in his eyes. He was shoved into manhood, molded into something better by rough hands and biting words. It is known that he has little in comparison to his brothers but he surely looks the part. His tightly curled, honey blonde hair is kept neatly trimmed and his clothing is treated the very same.

A lifetime of being shoved into gentlemanly activities like horseback riding and archery has left him with a strong physique. Nevermind the days he would spend running from one brother or another. One had to grow strong in order to thrive under such conditions. It is hard to see the boy he once was. He hides well, peeking out from the cracks that he desperately tries to seal.


HEIGHT: 5’9” | 175 cm
WEIGHT: 158 bs | 72 kg


— PERSONA

CONCEPT:
He is often an afterthought, someone merely mentioned is passing rather than the subject of conversation. There is a part of him that does not mind it and part of him that clenches its fists in outrage. They war with one another often, for his is a young man who does not want to be seen but must be so if he wants to prove that he is worth anything. He struggles in the face of social interaction and finds that it exhausts him. More often than not he is approached because of his brothers. His heart hardens each time he believes himself capable of making connections, only for said connections to make their true intentions towards him known.

Adolphus is an awkward young man. He did not have the grace of growing into adulthood but instead it was thrown at him, and he was told to wear it like an ill fitted suit that he may one day grow into. Make no mistake however, he was given the proper education for someone of his standing. There is no doubt that he is able to recall and parrot the etiquette taught to him and feign interest in the things that men like him should be interested in. He does not truly know himself, outside of his love for astronomy, and he tries to hide it.


VIRTUES: Intuitive, Curious, Straight Forward, Patient, Well Read, Courteous
VICES: Introverted, Emotional, Self-Critical, Defensive, Evasive, Competitive

LIKES: Planetariums & Observatories, Late Night Strolls, Tea, Cultural and Philosophical Literature, Newfoundlands
DISLIKES: Social Gatherings, Being compared to his brothers, The Idea of Marriage, Others in his personal space
HOBBIES: Gazing at the night sky through his telescope, Drawing illustrations of the stars and cosmos, Fencing, Collecting ornate pocket watches
FEARS: Adolphus fears that he has no meaning in life, that he will be doomed to forever live in the shadows of his brothers, hoping to fill their shoes and never knowing his true self.

FAMILY: Christopher Fitzgerald - The patriarch of the Fitzgerald family. The Baron is a very strict man who holds high expectations for his family. He is a busy man however and left his children's upbringing to their governesses and tutors. Christopher cannot stand any sign of weaknesses in his sons and lashes out accordingly in return.

Adara Fitzgerald - The matriarch of the Fitzgerald family. Adara was the daughter of a foreign noble before marrying Christopher. As a young woman she was known for her loveliness and brilliant mind. Giving birth to seven sons has left this with a weak body and so she very rarely leaves her home. Has no love for her husband but loves her sons dearly.

The Fitzgerald Sons — Adolphus’ older brothers and his biggest competitors. It is known that they are the shining jewel of their family, with each brother either starting a family or in the process of doing so. They were always tough on their youngest brother due to their father’s influence.


REPUTATION: Above else Adolphus is known as a young but talented scholar. Since he was a boy his tutors would sing his praises, gushing about how quickly he soaked up knowledge and applied it in kind. A brain can only take you so far however and society has taken note that young Adolphus spends too much attention on his studies.

He has no charm to speak of and is as interesting as wet cardboard. To say that he comes from such a social family, he has nothing to show for it. He’s different from his brothers and people are quick to point it out.

RUMORS: There are whispers that Adolphus is the product of an affair between his mother and a lover that appeared in her life again. The affair is while he looks nothing like his father apparently.

BACKGROUND:

"How do you feel about the gossip that's already circulating?"

He waves a hand dismissively, far more interested in the book in his lap. It’s an old thing, the leather cover has seen better days. A picture of stars can barely be seen on the front. “It’s to be expected at the height of this season. I take everything that I hear with a grain of salt.”

"Are you excited to finally be part of the season?"
The book is snapped closed and light grey eyes finally settle on the person before him. His face is serious but his eyes are almost dull. There’s something parroted about the way he answers. “Of course, it’s an honor to be able to settle down and continue the Fitzgerald line.”

"Is there anyone who has caught your eye?"
“There are many potential candidates this season.” His answer his short and clipped, vague in a way that urges one to not delve any deeper.

"Are you pursuing anyone?"
For a split second a look of distaste flashes across his face. It is as though the thought of pursuing anyone is unpleasant for the young noble. “No, I’ve been rather busy with my studies.”

"Who is the person you dislike the most this season?"
“I’d rather not say, there’s so much tension and theatrics as is. I wouldn’t want to add fuel to the fire.”

"Do you think you'll be married by the end of the season?"
“Yes.” The reply is swift, too swift in fact. The small smile on Adolphus’s face is strained and he returns to his book before it can be spoken upon.

ADOLPHUS.
