#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.
#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.
#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.
