#3 - Katrina Schneider, The German ambassador's maid (Character played by A. T.)
Motto: Hope is a terrible disease, inflicter of the greatest suffering. Yet I cannot and will not recover. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: German - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Young - 36 years or less - Advices: A character with strong themes, with a certain reverential awe when encountering powerful people. Her goal is to solve her problems, but this won't exclude participating in investigative plots.
Teaser: Like a fledgling hatched in a cage and only allowed to admire the immensity of the sky without ever being able to reach it, Katrina watched the world and dreamt, hidden in the dark parts of the manor houses of the great family Von Wissman. The daughter of a maid and a cook, Katrina grew up in captivity and was trained from childhood towards her future of serving the powerful German diplomats. Graceful, discreet and slightly younger than the son of his Excellency, Heinrich Von Wissman, she witnessed the transformation of the young gentleman whom she was destined to serve from a shy and taciturn pup to a ruthless tiger, fully conscious of his influential place in life, becoming ambitious, haughty and even despicable as only a nobleman can be. Following the ambassador she has traveled a great deal, visiting the lands of Spain, England, China and even Africa, an object of envy in the ever-changing houses where she has lived and worked for brief periods of time, all seeming identical to her. For her, all this travelling without ever leaving a sign of her passage did nothing but sharpen her sense of imprisonment, the constant malaise that makes her stop before every mirror, imagining herself old and faded: with the same apron, the same tray, the same blisters on her feet, the same bruises hidden by the impeccable clothes. In her few moments of solitude and tranquility, Katrina allows herself to dream, to imagine a savior, a prince who can take her away from this life of silence and subordination. Far away from the watchful eye of the tiger.
Relations: Maid of the German ambassador Von Wissman, knows the widow of the Italian ambassador, the Countess Cervi de Robilant.Morgan Camden, has helped her navigate the villa several times in the last days, to her profound gratitude. She is delighted to discover that Emmeline Pankhurst, the political activist Katrina has written letters of sincere admiration, will also be present .Two servants, Edmond Roncourt and Marco Sartori, behave towards her in a singular manner, to which she cannot find a reason.
#4 - Eileen Walsh, The servant fled from the Magdalene (Character played by S. B.)
Motto: I'd commit any sin, mortal or otherwise, to get the hell out of here. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Young - 36 years or less - Advices: Character with strong themes focused on her personal drama through which she filters everything that happens around her, but this won't exclude participation in the investigation plots. Her goal is to solve her personal problems more than those of the rest of the world.
Teaser: In the same way the hands of a clock are meant to mark the passage of time, doors spell out the life of Eileen Walsh. She still remembers how by her mother's order as a young girl the worm-eaten door of her little room was closed, not to meet the night sleeping, but to give away her intimacy and satisfy the pleasures of her first client. As years passed Eileen lost count, but she remembers the black ebony door of the Magdalene house and the way it creaked when it was closed behind her. From that same period she also remembers the mould darkened door through which she, as well as other girls ''guilty of having sinned'', was forced to pass every day, suppressing her nausea, to enter the laundry room of the house of God. There she was taught that to wash linen for the good Lord was comparable to cleansing their own filthy souls. Then, a back door left carelessly open by a nun through which Eileen escaped. Out of breath and with one hand on her stomach as flat as a board, she looked back and promised that she would regain possession of all that had been stolen from her. She began with regaining her dignity, when she took up service as a maid in a noble house with a white door.
Relations: She works as a personal maid of Annie Besant and knows her intimate friend Mary Shaw with whom she has a good relationship. She recently met Giovanni De Simone whom she considers a bit intrusive. After bickering about how to set the table, Christabel Goulden does not miss any opportunity to needle her. She recently found a friend whom she believed to be lost forever, Fanny Andrews.
#7 - Tracy Conner, The attentive eye (Character played by E. J.)
Motto: Knowing how to listen means possessing, besides one's own, the brain of others. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Relatives and Servants of the House - Nationality: British - Gender: Unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: A socially inept character, who will have to deal with an innate shyness. Suitable for those who like to observe, investigate and put together the ''pieces of the puzzle''.
Teaser: Tracy has been in service at Scarborough House for some years now and has gotten to know very peculiar people and so many curious stories. Stories so curious that they could very well be in those books that Tracy reads greedily every night, head bent over the pages, having to apologize for keeping the lamp lit till late hours. One can barely imagine what secrets one stumbles upon, leaning in to stir the embers in the marble fireplaces of the lords and ladies. They seem to believe that servants have no ears nor eyes. But Tracy has good sight and hearing, as well as the memory and skill to tell stories. And yet there is, in Tracy's reports of small news, such a sharpness, such a transparent candor, that naming it gossip seems very out of place. Indeed, Tracy resembles a pool of transparent water that reflects everything around it, or one of those nocturnal flowers that collects the warmth of the sun by day and pours it out into the night, transforming it into a warm scent. Some parts of a person are powerful, innate, unavoidable gifts of fate like the stature of one's frame or the color of one's eyes. Tracy is so very shy and awkward, but those who have the luck and the patience to hear the words past that shyness will find an intelligence that is out of the ordinary and many more answers than they thought possible.
Relations: Tracy shows deep admiration for Lady Violet Scarborough, while serving the rest of the family with shy detachment. Elizabeth Rush never misses an opportunity to accuse Tracy of spreading gossip. Lily Fisher is a close confidant. Leonard Warren-Hopkins is singularly kind. Tracy only recently met Marco Sartori, but they are already very attuned to each other. It seems that the butler, Derrick Gravehound always approaches Tracy with a certain diffidence. In a past visit, Arthur Conan Doyle stopped for a conversation, intrigued by the personality in front of him.
#8 - Elizabeth Rush, The strong housekeeper (Character played by S. B.)
Motto: The order of ideas must follow the order of things Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Relatives and Servants of the House - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Adult - 28 years or more - Advices: A character with strong determination, has an organizational role with supervision of the servants but is also focused on strong emotional ties. She has a very active game concerning many plots and will receive some binding directions from the staff.
Teaser: Her life experience and amiable talks with good friends have revealed this certainty to Elizabeth: in this world there is an order established by God or by Nature itself. Only within this order can every element find its place, only in harmony with it can a person grow and improve. Each of us must set ourselves this honorable goal: to carry out our task in the best possible way. This has always defined Elizabeth: the solid pillar of the Scarborough house, the queen bee, industrious and proud, maternal and severe at the same time. Those in service will therefore find their purpose in their role, just as the lords and ladies are called to command. But woe to those masters who believe that this means their path is of laziness and ignorance! Lord Scarborough has understood his task very well, he knows the responsibility of power, and his gaze rises above the horizon, imagining a better world forged by those who like himself are worthy. His Lordship has honored Elizabeth with his confidence and familiarity, and she will never cease to be grateful to him, nor will she ever forget to serve his person and purposes as he deserves. She serves the splendor of his imaginative hope, which Elizabeth prays to have helped spark in some little way.
Relations: She is most often in perfect agreement with Derrick Gravehound, loves conversing with Jean-Pierre Guillot Savarin and praises Fanny Andrews. She repeatedly scolds Tracy Conner for a bad habit of gossiping . She cannot hide a certain dislike for Hector Schmitz. Her relationships with Lord Oliver Maxwell Scarborough and with Lord Henry Scarborough-Talbot, while respecting the roles of servant and master, tend to reach a level of confidence which borders on familiarity. She scolded Bernard Russel harshly when, as soon as he arrived at the villa, he accidentally entered the rooms of the lady of the house, and from then on she has kept a watchful eye on him. The lawyer and senator, Vegezzi, has honored her with a private conversation. During the many years she has served Lord Scarborough, she has met Clayton William White, a rough American tycoon.
#9 - Candide Artoise, The devoted valet/waitress (Character played by M. M.)
Motto: There is an innocence of admiration: it occurs in one who has not yet realized that they might one day be admired. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: French - Gender: unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: An intimate character with a game based on his own feelings and inner conflicts, but this won't exclude participating in investigative plots.
Teaser: The silvery and pale visage of the moon when it is illuminated by a blazing sun, the crystal of a mirror that reflects the face of beauty: this is how Candide feels next to ''Monsieur le Marquis''. What good fortune it is that has given the progeny of a washerwoman the fate of serving Guy de Maupassant, the famous writer, the sharp traveler, the man of extraordinary charm. And fate has given an even more generous gift to Candide, granting the chance to be a humble support for the great man, a silken rope thrown to help Monsieur when a dark chasm seemed to open beneath his noble steps. The servants Candide has accepted acquaintance with delight in the impeccable freshness of conversation, the sharpness of observations and the clear, yet sensitive lucidity with which Candide observes the world. These must have been the qualities with which Candide has won the benevolent friendship of Monsieur, some say, while others more pragmatically point out that a wise and witty gentleman chooses servants who are like mirrors, certainly capable, but only in reflecting the virtues of the master. Someone once dared to suggest to Candide, that Candide could now flex their own wings and fly far from the star. But how could that be possible? That it might be better to risk seeing one's wings melt from too much heat, than to be lost in solitude in the terrible darkness, that is in the end one's own judgment to make.
Relations: Candide serves Guy de Mausapassant, whom Candide always approaches with ecstatic admiration. Candide has shown that he knows Mary Shaw, whom Candide apparently met at the thermal baths. Candide scrutinizes the movements of Hector Schmitz. Scarlett Owen shows Candide great sympathy. Candide knows Jacques Palanche with whom Candide worked in the same house for a short time a few years ago, but there is no love lost between the two. Candide often likes to hear the talk between Arjuna and Judith Price about distant lands.
#11 - Christabel Goulden, The ambitious maid (Character played by H. L.)
Motto: One of the most unpleasant things about ambition is the display of modesty Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Adult - 28 years or more - Advices: This is a character very suitable for women who love risk, espionage and strong emotions, the thrill of being discovered and the elaboration of complex plans. It is a character driven by reason rather than feelings.
Teaser: It would seem, in the eyes of most, that serving as a lady’s maid is one of the most significant positions when in service. Being paid to travel, attending high society, always at the heart of gossip and updated on the latest news from social circles, having an influential lady as a confidant, someone who can help you in times of trouble, someone who can come and save you when you are in trouble ... is this not Paradise? Perhaps for those born without ambition, but Christabel knows that all that glitters is not gold, and at heart that what life has reserved for her has never been enough: hand-me-down clothes, wearing no jewels or anything else that might obscure the splendor of her lady, to be considered little more than a graceful ornament. She is ignored by men who are both worldly and fascinating, being desired at most by the vulgar stable man, whom she as a decorous servant must nevertheless deny. But more than anything else, Christabel suffers from being far from the center of attention, the silent punishment of being only the tapestry in the shining life of someone else is a constant scorching disappointment for someone who feels, instead, that she is deserving of every kind of care and ease. Ah, if only it would be possible to find a way to improve her situation, she would be a perfect lady. Sleeping late, changing clothes five times a day, courted and admired, spending the afternoon playing cards and sipping tea ... this should have been her destiny, although perhaps it is nothing but a charming daydream which is impossible for her to renounce.
Relations: She is in the service of Sir Charles Cowdery and Lady Johanna McEwan to whom she is a lady’s maid. It would seem that the distinguished waiter Leo Vaughan gives her too much attention. Scarborough house servants has often seen her whispering in a corner with Edmond Roncourt. She has bickered with Eileen Walsh, whom she considers rather inelegant.
#12 - Abigail Kelly, The curious maid (Character played by H. O.)
Motto: Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Young - 36 years or less - Advices: A very active character, suitable for those who want to be at the center of investigations, intrigues and mysteries. - HARDCORE - if you choose this character, you have to be up for for playing intense and special scenes, which for some may prove unpleasant or embarrassing.
Teaser: The first great lesson was given to her by her Mother who showed her how every social order rests its foundations on Reputation. The second came from her Father, who explained to her that Reputation does not always reflect the true nature of people and sometimes deceives the eye and mind of decent people. If her parents were still alive, would she see condemnation or pride in their eyes? Without a doubt, her reputation is not particularly good. Although she herself is not accustomed to inappropriate behaviors, she is still the maid of a scandalous singer and not even remotely a first-rate maid. And yet the benevolence of her Mistress is very real and assures her of this honest position. Even if she gets a reputation of being an impertinent and unfortunate girl, she performs her duties to the best of her possibilities. In the severe world of the servants, some are inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt, claiming that she does not have sufficient experience to be a good and reserved servant, but many find her propensity for curiosity as evidence of an irreparable defect of character. Impudent, indelicate, too ready to gossip and suffering from a terrible habit of being where she should not: these are her faults, which do not seem to bother her Lady. Indeed, her witty and crystalline soul would have been more appropriate for an honest middle-class lady, than for a maid.
Relations: Her lady is the opera singer Charlotte Cotillard. Since working at the mansion, she is often scolded by the House Butler who would like to see more dignity from her. She often exchanges women’s gossip with Claretta Benvenuti. She was seen talking in a suspect way to the new odd-job man, Emilio Fiori in a corner of the garden instead of doing her chores. Nathan Goodwill often laughs at her mistakes.
#16 - Arjuna Ghalib, The exotic servant (Character played by G. A.)
Motto: I’m like a plant that grows on bare rock: the more the wind blows on me, the deeper I sink my roots. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: Other - Gender: Unisex - Player's Age: Adult - 28 years or more - Advices: A complex character who presents an active game and is involved in intrigues and mysteries. You will receive some binding guidelines from the staff.
Teaser: An exotic ornament put on display to amaze and to admire, this is Arjuna, and the smile that often passes fleetingly over the outlandish face reveals a full, and perhaps smug, awareness. An always steady, shrewd and courteous personality cannot but be considered as an ideal servant in refined English parlours, yet around this figure there remains a slight spiced aura of mystery caused by being born in a distant colony full of charm: India, with its myths and legends. If it is true that Arjuna’s delicate step does not disrupt the quiet of the house, it is certainly also true that Arjuna’s presence cannot go unnoticed nor be confused with that of the ordinary servants; so, while Arjuna advances in life, there are those who whisper that the servant is the Indian Viceroy’s watchdog, whose job it is to control the Viceroy’s turbulent scion, Lord Terence. Actually, such rumors would seem to be true, because often some whispered words or a slight wave of Arjuna’s hand calms the young man who then goes from commanding to obeying. An enigmatic and yet imperturbable figure, Arjuna stays at the side of the noble Master in order to fulfill his every desire, but also to keep in check inappropriate haughtiness and the excesses that the Master is accustomed to indulge in with lingering and extreme profligacy.
Relations: In Calcutta, while in the service of Lord Terence, he met Willliam Monck on one of his travels. Arjuna has shown prior knowledge of the name of Sir Charles Cowdery. Edmond Roncourt, that stupid arrogant Frenchman, has shown himself to despise Arjuna’s race. Judith Price often asks the servant to tell her Indian stories and legends, and Candide Artoise always manages to listen to these tales. When still in India, Arjuna met Mary Morstan.
#17 - Scarlett Owen, The cunning maid (Character played by B. M.)
Motto: Everything in the world is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Proactive, easy-going character, her game will be uninhibited and fun.
Teaser: It might seem odd, to most people, that an unwed nobleman is accompanied by a servant of the fair sex, rather than a valet or a personal waiter. However, Scarlett has the impression that many of the gentlemen attending the ambassador's parlor, or parlors of which her master is often a guest, actually care much less than their servants about traditional formalities. Her attention is unavoidably captured by those individuals who are exceptionally original and singularly valued in their various fields of knowledge, and also those powerful individuals for whom the abundance of money and their noble birth are such that the banalities of etiquette are rendered superfluous. The weak are slaves of the rules, the strong ones make the rules, is this not so? Therefore, she believes that perhaps only a few of those who really count will wonder why it is she, the pretty little maid, who has followed the Ambassador here. And even those who want to assume an answer, what will they ever think? Maybe the most sinful of truths, a reflection of their own malice. After all, Scarlett moves between folding cloths, tea sets and gossip with such a smiling and captivating grace, that many observing her, end up thinking that if she were to climb a few steps of the steep social pyramid, the ascent would be on true, albeit singular, merit.
Relations: She is the maid of the British ambassador Lord Francis Wimsey, whom she follows like a shadow. Because of a drop of champagne inadvertently spilled on a cuff, she met Friedrich Gunter Kroyer, with whom she seems to have developed a confidence. She has a sister in the service of Guy de Maupassant, and that is why she has taken a liking to Candide Artoise, who serves and accompanies the writer. Since her arrival, she has already bickered several times with one of the Scarborough House servants, Claretta Benvenuti.
#19 - Claretta Benvenuti, The feminist maid (Character played by L. M.)
Motto: You say we’re only women, but we are not afraid! Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Relatives and Servants of the House - Nationality: Italian - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: An active and idealistic character who will have to face dilemmas and compromises to get what she wants.
Teaser: The century now nearing it’s end has seen science and progress make giant strides, yet the government of the people continues to be entrusted to despotic and bloody tyrants whose main characteristic are that they are men. That’s how our Claretta, quite strangely for a maid, thinks. That is, she thinks this when, between mending clothes and brushing hair, she can find the time to leave Lady Violet Scarbrough to her vague and ethereal speeches. Then she finally has the opportunity to pursue her reading, even if she still reads with difficulty, since she learned by herself. Especially those reports written by travelers able to reach the four corners of the globe. Without any family, she grew up and became a girl only thanks to the mercy of the nuns of the female orphanage of the Little Industrious Weavers. Growing up, Claretta has cultivated her own restless soul. At just fourteen years old, she fled from the congregation that housed her and started working at a textile factory as a worker. The time as a worker in a factory taught her how hard the obligations of a working woman are to reconcile with the needs of studying or those of motherhood. She was the only one, perhaps thanks to her erudition or her courage, that was able to stand up and tell the master what she thought of him, when she saw him dismiss a colleague whose belly was swelling with the child she was carrying. That resulted in her losing her employment and led to the belief that women must organize themselves to protest for their rights. From it, she also became curious to meet those few women who really seem to live free: those high society ladies who are said to have so much influence on the destinies of peoples and nations thanks to their charm and their friendships. Is it true that what is rumored? Claretta cannot wait to find out!
Relations: Despite having only recently met her, she cannot stand Scarlett Owen. She admires Emmeline Pankhurst very much, whom she has heard of as a woman who is passionate and engaged in politics. She exchanged some women’s gossip with the young Abigail. She seems very interested in Emilio Fiori, so much so that she often finds herself watching him while he works in the garden.
#25 - Lily Fisher, The innocent servant (Character played by K. E.)
Motto: To a pure maiden fair, even the trees will bow down Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Relatives and Servants of the House - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Young - 36 years or less - Advices: Intimate and frail character focused on purity and efforts to stay that way in a world full of wolves. Not suitable for anyone who is embarassed by strong or sexual issues. - HARDCORE - whoever chooses this character must be open to playing intense and special scenes, which for some may be unpleasant or embarrassing.
Teaser: 'Why wasn't I born invisible?'' Lily asked herself every night, crawling tired under rough blankets. Shy and yelding, she yearned since she was a child for the world to leave her behind only for fate to take the opposite tack. From the orphanage to Lord Scarborough's mansion people always noticed something in her, no matter how much she tried to be silent or scurry quickly away. Everyone she encounters seems driven to blame, harass, possess and even hate her. Maybe Lily is just condemned to be always too innocent, too prudish and too naive, to the point where many come to believe she hides a secret. No one can believe such innocent candour could exist for real. Lord Oliver kept her in his private Villa Avogadro apartments for hours so both nobles and servants are sure she's got something to hide. Lily knows nothing scandalous happened so she defends her honour and his Lordshop's with all the strength she can muster. But what she hopes is a roar is really just a feeble peep that enflames the anger of those who don't believe her. The bruises on her body tell the stories of all the interrogations, the accusations, the cruel punishments her lords and even the guests imposed on her. Her life would be hell for sure if she were to lose the affection of Oliver Maxwell Scarborough so she bends without breaking, like a tiny twig hit by a storm.
Relations: She is the personal servant of Margaret Murray. The chef Guillot Savarin blames and punishes her any time he can as well as the butler Derrick Gravehound and Lord Henry. Tracy Conner holds her dear and they are confidants. She's very friendly with Marco Sartori. Bernard Russel helps her out whenever her duties become too heavy for her.
#26 - Morgan Camden, Personal servant (Character played by M. C.)
Motto: People become rich in two ways: by birth or through guile and determination. I wasn't born comfortable. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Outgoing and comunicative character, they must face doubts and compromises to respect pacts and promises.
Teaser: Morgan's discretion, taste and dexterity are the envy of many friends of the Countess Gigli Cervi de Robilant. They are always asking her where she could find such a marvellous servant. Camden's graceful movements are a pleasure for the eyes. Rinsing clothes is like an elegant dance and setting the table looks like a fine ballet. Morgan doesn't lack for good taste. Those sharp eyes always spot the finest china, the prestigious accoutrements and the most sophisticated jewelry. The Countess loves asking for advice about an important accessory for a meeting with special guests. Morgan can always suggest the right necklace or find that set of crystal goblets that will astonish everyone. When the Countess is alone, Morgan entertains her with enthralling card games or interesting stories about past travels. Attenton to detail and good memory are no less important than elegance. Morgan remembers the right place for everything and knows the Gigli Cervi mansion inventory by heart. Despite arriving only a few days ago, the Scarborough villa is as familar as home. Other visiting servants often ask for directions. The Countess's friends (if there can be any real friends in high society) are glad she's found such a capable person to support her after the husband's death. Her rivals secretly hope that so many good qualities will ultimately prove to hide a dark core.
Relations: Morgan serves the Countess Luisa Gigli Cervi de Robiland. In the past few days Morgan has found and returned a jewel to Lady Violet Scarborough that she misplaced some time ago, earning her gratitude. Nathan Goodwill is sure they met somewhere in the past but it's not true and he is starting to get annoying. Morgan often helped Katrina Schneider when moving through the house. Having a taste for beauty, Morgan keeps an eye on the art of Pau Torregrosa. Morgan often ironically says that if someone wants to be sneaky he should be good at it after catching Bernard Russel in the Countess's rooms,
#27 - Judith Price, The romantic housemaid (Character played by M. M.)
Motto: The noblest souls are love's first victims Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Perfect for a player in love with romance without ruling out mysteries and intrigues. - HARDCORE - whoever chooses this character must be open to playing intense and special scenes, which for some may be unpleasant or embarrassing.
Teaser: Lord William Harold Wickham, the seventh Count of Asherton, had three wives and five sons but only one butler: Robert Price. That might explain why his lordship showed more affection to his butler's daughter than his own offspring. When Judith was a child, the Count would put her on his lap while telling wonderful stories about the glory of the British Empire to his sons. Everything was allowed for the young Judith at the Honinton estate: horseriding and hiking through the forest with the Asherton boys, sharing funny moments, studies and readings with them. But she clearly valued the company of Gordon the most. An extraordinary friendship was growing between those two but Lord Asherton sent Gordon to finish his studies far away before that budding feeling could bloom into love. Judith grew strong and combative. She stayed with the Count and her father learning how to manage the beautiful estate the two men were letting fall slowly to ruin. Maybe her sweet but firm personality made Lord Asherton trust when he told her some family secret and asked her on his deathbed to watch over Gordon. Once Gordon came back to the estate, Judith could see the boy she loved in the past but could also spot his weaknesses, his naivety and the reckless tendency to please others. In that very moment she decided to stand by his side and protect him - maybe carrying a secret hope within her heart.
Relations: Judith is the servant of Gordon Wickham, eighth Count of Asherton. She thinks there is no better master in the land. She often asks Arjuna to talk about India. Too bad that Candide Artoise often listens in on their talks. She feels Volker Beckmann's eyes on her since the first time they met, she even thinks he was spying on her down in the laundry.
#28 - Lena Reinhart, The malicious servant (Character played by M. M.)
Motto: Malice is a better muse than friendship Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: German - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Good for a breezy player who wants to deal with seduction. STAFF
Teaser: Gluttony is all female. Gluttony is that deep desire turned on by a furtive glance that crawls through the mind to the thoughts then spreads down to the belly. Lena has always had a sweet tooth: she loves the wonderful creations of chef Jean-Pierre Guillot Savarin no less then any man she has had. Seduction is a game of gazes and Lena is a true master, able to shift the fiery passion in her eyes to a meek lamb-like look as soon as a severe butler - or even his lordshp! - happens to walk by. Fortunately, most of philosophers and scientists are distracted by the complex paths of their minds and don't care about the honour of their servants!
Relations: She is the servant of professor Joseph Emmanuel Wedder. She has been seen kissing passionately with Nathan Goodwill and William Monck, and shamelessy take a walk in the garden with Lord Henry. Some rumours say she even sneaked out from Giovanni de Simone's room at first light but he strongly denies that.
#29 - Fanny Andrews, The serious and accountable servant (Character played by A. Z.)
Motto: Redemption has no shortcuts Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Relatives and Servants of the House - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: This character will be assigned to a staff member.
Teaser: People who say that if humanity could forget some corners of the past, life would be much happier and serene are entirely correct. ''Ignorance is bliss.'' Fanny bases her life on two unbreakable foundations: folk wisdom and the Holy Bible. Fanny Andrews probably once was something different than the straight, discreet and decent servant serving the Scarborough family. But that other woman only exists in some rare nightmares that disturb Fanny's sleep and the other servants asleep by her side. It's better not to talk about those frightful truths screaming out from Fanny's mouth deep in the night - in the best interests of the house and the servants. As Fanny says, ignorance is bliss anyway.
Relations: She found in Eileen Walsh a friendly figure she thought lost forever. Thinks of Elizabeth Rush as a role model and always shows deep respect to the butler Gravehound. Claretta can't learn her place so they often argue. She often assists Doctor Hopkins and Lord Scarborough because of her discretion but Lady Violet is the one who is very fond of her.
