#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.
#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.
#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.
#42 - Margaret Alice Murray, The brilliant bourgeoise (Character played by T. I.)
Motto: Many peole believe in noting and fear everything. I did the opposite. I've found out my enthusiasm is contagious Upstairs or Downstairs: Upstairs - Group: Relatives and Servants of the House - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Young - 36 years or less - Advices: Good for an active player into hard themes. Margaret's game is focused on building relations, investigation and politics. She will get some guidance from the staff.
Teaser: All her dearest friends would say they had never met such a young lady: social and whimsical, courtly and bright, curious and open minded. Brilliant and resourceful in the appropriate ladylike ways, she was hardened in the hospitals of Calcutta where she became a nurse. She took care of cholera victims, pushed by the strong desire to do whatever appeared to be right and necessary despite rules and sometimes common sense. She still carries this stubborness with her. During the journey back to England she explored many ancient places of interest which steered her unbreakable mental machinery to the study of antique civilisations and mysteries, until she stepped into Lord Scarborough's marvellous library and he made a pupil of her. Those who believe he considers her as the daughter, student and spiritual heir such a master has never had is probably correct but those who suppose that the master only gives and the pupil only takes is completely wrong: they always have something to learn and share with each other.
Relations: Lord Scarborough's pupil. She maintains a fiesty correspondence with Arthur Edward Waite. She doesn't pay any attenion to any of the home servants but Hector Schmitz who is a regular at the Lord's library. She often has intense discussions with Doctor Hopkins. There is a polite silence between er and Lady Violet Scarborough, rumors say it hides a sort of rivalry. She often corresponded with Lord Evelyn Barin when he lived in his Aegyptian mansion.
#56 - Lady Violet Scarborough, The landlord's sister (character available)
Motto: A silent woman is God's gift, there is no reward for a polite woman. A discrete woman is grace upon grace, one cannot evaluate the weight of a modest soul. Upstairs or Downstairs: Upstairs - Group: Relatives and Servants of the House - Nationality: British - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Adult - 28 years or more - Advices: A strong female character, active, and with a coordination role between nobles and servants. Suitable for a woman player who wants to empathize with female mentality of that time and who's not afraid to play the cunning woman, though not appearing such to others.
Teaser: The role of a good society woman is that of a pillar of house and family. She must always have everything under control: servants, accounts, supplies, arrangements for parties the landlord might decide to plan, she must know how to carry herself gracefully, entertain interesting conversations, though not speaking out of turn. For instance, she would never express ideas about politics, religion or economics in public and would never contradict a man who expresses his ideas on a matter. Perhaps many women find this role demeaning and limiting, but not Lady Violet Scarborough, who dedicated her whole life to house and family. As befits a true lady, she sacrificed love in favor of a marriage of interest, she had been serving and honoring her husband her whole life up to his deathbed, and she had raised a son who could become one of the most important Peers of England. When she became a widow, she could have accepted a life that was finally free of men, but decided instead to dedicate herself to her brother. Here is a woman who has always been defined by being a daughter, then a wife, a mother and finally a sister, but this does not mean that in the privacy of her rooms, Lady Violet never allowed herself to have thoughts, elaborate theories and build plans. The public image of a woman of good English society is very different from her private one, and after all everyone keeps some small secrets for themselves.
Relations: Lord Henry's mother. Lord Oliver Maxwell Scaroborough's sister. She knows lawyer and Senator Vegezzi well. Between her and Miss Murray, exists a demure silence, which, according to some, hides a certain rivalry. Word has it that when Lady Violet discovered that her brother had invited Cedric Constantine Crosby to the villa, a furious fight broke out. When she can, she loves spending some time with Tracy Conner and shows great affection for the impeccable Fanny Andrews. She is grateful to Morgan Camden for having found her a jewel she had lost.
