#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.
#36 - Contessa Luisa Gigli Cervi de Robilant, The Italian ambassador's widow (Character played by J. B.)
Motto: Corruption of the ones we love pushes us apart. Never touch the idols for the gold plate stains the hands Upstairs or Downstairs: Upstairs - Group: High Society - Nationality: Italian - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Intimate character whose game is based on feelings and inner conflicts noy to mention investigations and politics. Perfect for a player who likes inner drama.
Teaser: Luisa had enough frivolous ideas about life to impress people, but she never knew what she really wanted from life. She had no real goals except to ingratiatie herself with others. Luisa never annoyed her husband; she was always at his beck and call. Luisa faked pleasure in bed grotesquely then waited in silence for her husband to finish in his selfish and beastly way. She felt happily submissive but always worried she was not beautiful or good enough. Luisa was sure that her suffering was all her fault. When her husband announced he was going to Ethiopia then London to pursue his career as an ambassador, she considered this a just payback for all her stupid mistakes. Lonely and caught up in the game of her own imagination, she found a new object of affection within the four walls of her home. Then came the letter certifying her widow status and her sense of guilt ballooned. She promised she would never besmirch her husband's reputation again but carry his name with her along with his ambitions and ambitious illusions.
Relations: After her butler Alfred Hanson found another workplace she hired Morgan Camden. The German ambassador Heinrich von Wissman is a family friend. She associated with senator Costantino Nigra. Monsignor Giulio Orazio Mattei was her husband's esteemed acquaintance during the years in Rome. She had the pleasure to meet the senator lawyer Vegezzi as well as Gaetano Osculati whose profession tickles her curiosity. Some months ago she went to one of the famous presentations of Guillaume Bellegard.
#65 - Eusapia Palladino, The Medium (Character played by s. p.)
Motto: Naturally, the supernatural haunts us Upstairs or Downstairs: Upstairs - Group: Mysterious Guests - Nationality: Italian - Gender: Female - Player's Age: Adult - 28 years or more - Advices: Very active character, included in many plots. Suitable for a player who loves intrigues and is talented at social relationships. It is advisable for the player who wishes to choose her to prepare herself to be the center of attention and to participate in agreed upon scenes. She will receive directions from staff.
Teaser: A dark room, a round table at the centre of it and just the feeble light of a candle to brighten the scene. Men and women of good European society seated holding hands, forming a circle where she is the alpha and the omega. A peasant girl from the Murge, polished in manners and properly educated, who guides them in the mazes of the kingdom of spirits. Suddenly a mysterious sound, and breath chokes in the throat, the air becomes stifling. Everyone will be able to testify that at that exact moment her chair began to levitate as raised by the very hands of God or Satan, who can say? A deep voice which does not correspond to her true timbre flows from her lips and utters sinister phrases, incomprehensible to most. A channel between the mortal and the immortal world, a medium endowed with powers never before observed in any human being, transformed as clay by the hands of a skilled potter: from the little shepherdess from southern Italy to a symbol of mediumistic lore. Praised in the European courts, studied by contemporary luminaries, challenged, accused of fraud, manipulated by the powerful, that's what it means being a Medium: a life serving a higher purpose, where there is no room left for anything else. And indeed this is the century when every marvel seems possible, Eusapia Palladino is a living testimony of it.
Relations: Paolo Valera slandered her name in a newspaper article, Arthur Edoward Waite strenuously defended her, claiming that never has the mortal realm been graced by a more powerful medium than her. Word has it there is bad blood between Eusapia and Margaret Murray. She met Lord Scarborough several times during her mediumistic sessions, on these same occasions she met Volker Beckmann who seems to be an interesting man. Giovan Battista Borghese attended one of her sessions in the past during his journey to Rome.
