Background: A lifelong academic with a lengthy if not particularly distinguished career. Speaks in the rather florid, didactic tones of one used to lecturing groups of people which can make him seem pompous at times. Probably a bit old fashioned and stuffy in his views. He would say his heart’s in the right place though. Despite being overweight he can move surprisingly quietly and quickly when the occasion demands it.

Ideology/ beliefs: There is a reason for everything and her mission is to find it out. Significant people: She doesnt really have friends, she has acquaintances. Despite this there are people that have been influential in her life - most importantly her old college tutor Mrs Parsons, who went beyond the role of mentor and reaffirmed Edie's belief in persuing her goals instead of taking on the family business. Brought up by a bunch of philosphers and artists Edie is the first in the family to embrace Science. Her cousins are writers and ladies of leisure but she wished instead to keep her feet on the ground. Her father runs a curiousity shop in Shepton Mallet, which she was expected to take on but Edie had other plans... Meaningful locations: Richmond Park - when unable to get away from it all properly Edie whenever she can spends time walking, reading or just relaxing here. Treasured possessions: Traits: Lively and driven, Edie likes to spend what free time she has hiking, camping and generally being outdoors. She would love to travel one day but lacks the means. She is passionate about her work and hungry for knowledge about the world around her. She is frustrated by those that spend too long internalising or with their head in the clouds.

Background:
Personal Description:
Cynthia Knight is tall and with red hair. Cynthia has always been an avid reader, and to her every book is a gateway to another time, another place, another world. While her everyday life is humdrum, through reading she is able to escape into a world of adventure and romance. She has also tried her hand at writing, though she hasn't published anything yet. Her love of reading and her keen mind have led her to pursue a career as a librarian, and she works in Eton College's library as a junior librarian.

Ideology/Beliefs:
Cynthia is a firm believer in true love. While she knows that many librarians end up as spinsters, she has no intention of ending up that way. She longs for a handsome stranger to come and sweep her off her feet. None has been forthcoming yet, however. Cynthia attends church regularly and believes in God. Politically, she supports women's suffrage. She feels that she is smarter than most men and should have every right to vote, just as they do.

Significant People:
Though Cynthia no longer lives with her parents, she is still close to them and visits them often. Her father, Lucas Knight, is a professor of history. Her mother, Matilda Knight, is a secretary for the London Metropolitan Police. Cynthia's supervisor at the library, Miss Patience Crawford, has been working there for nearly fifty years and is also important to Cynthia. She respects Cynthia's competence but wishes she wouldn't have her head in the clouds so much.

Meaningful Locations:
The library where Cynthia works is very important to her, and she spends much of her time there. Her job allows her access to the library's vast collection, so she never lacks for reading material. Cynthia's parents' house is significant to her as well, as is the flat where she lives, which is in easy walking distance to the school.

Treasured Possessions:
Cynthia's most treasured possession is her personal library, a small and modest set of shelves in her flat that contain the books she owns. They include her favorites, as well as some books she bought because she couldn't find them in a library. Some of the books she reads are rather steamy, a guilty pleasure of hers. Her favorite book is the Thousand Nights and a Night, of which she owns both a copy in the original Arabic and a copy of the Richard Burton English translation.

Traits:
Cynthia is often somewhat shy and reserved. However, beneath her plain looks beats the heart of a passionate woman. She has a very strong imagination, and she is capable of envisioning anything she reads in a book, as well as things about which she fantasizes. Even when she doesn't have a book in front of her, she sometimes daydreams, but she doesn't let it interfere with her work. She wishes she could travel the world, but she has never been able to afford it, except through reading about the places she longs to visit. Cynthia has a real thirst for adventure that she has never been able to fully satisfy, which is often masked by her rather bland exterior.

Key Connection:
Cynthia's key connection is her mother, Matilda Knight, who has inspired her and encouraged her to believe that women can do anything men can do.

Assets:
Cynthia has a flat in Eton, not far from the the school. She owns a bicycle, as well as her own personal library of books.

The young man is extremely well-groomed and his attire is of the very best that money can buy anywhere in the world. Personality: Henry has become a bit of a recluse in recent years. In spite of his apparent apathy, the young dilettante does possess an inquisitive mind that cannot resist a puzzle he deems worthy of his efforts. As such, he is known to spend large sums of time and money pursuing his intellectual hobbies in his place of residence within Hereford, England. He is uncomfortable when separated from his home for any length of time. Background: Henry Lewis III is a young English aristocrat who has been handed absolutely everything in life. His family's immeasurable wealth has opened many doors and ensured that the man has achieved more than his natural ability normally would have typically allowed. He rarely travels, preferring to act in the world beyond the walls of his estate through the use of proxies, seldom undertaking tasks himself.
