Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Helloooo!

I am picking up an ad for Lynn! This one specifically. I am looking at using the suggested Carrie Coon face, so blonde and blue-eyed! She is a widowed mother of four and will be high ranking, working for the Ministry, so not a great House Wife model. Her children were largely raised by a hired governess, especially after her husband died. She's a no-nonsense idealist-- highly polished, highly political.

I am looking for a family she might have come from prior to taking her husband's name! Preferably middle class, preferably not a ton of scandal (needs to keep her rank to have the job I want for her), they can be supportive of her career or not that part doesn't matter. Blood doesn't entirely matter either, I can change that to fit!

She could be from a cousin branch, directly related, embroiled in additional plots, whatever works!

She could be a sister of Alexandra! Beatrice was born in 1860, ucpb family. Family would've been greatly displeased by her working (alexandra would've been absolutely scandalized) but I'm fine with making some reason why it was allowed if you want!

Ooooh this could work! Initially I've had her as MC and her husband was a bit of a burnout/drank away all his money and lost his job. Idk if that'd still work to some extent in an UC family? BUT that's why she had to get a job in what is currently written. To provide for herself and her children because her husband was Useless.

She could be "Gertrude", older sister of Louisa Clearwater perhaps? I'm fine fudging years as well

Not sure how old you were looking for, but she could be nee Broadmoor as a sister to Augustus, making her Persephone Broadmoor's aunt. For that, she could reasonably have been born from like 1825 to 1842ish without straining disbelief.

For the opposite age of the end spectrum, "Lydia" is in her early thirties and a close friend of Dido Bloom.

Both would have been born MCHB or MCPB!

I would love to do this? Would her being born in 1858 work or does it mess things up too much?

I think it should be fine!! I just looked over Louisa’s history and I don’t believe anything there is too set in stone so we can shift things around as needed!

This sounds fantastic to me. I'm nearly done drawing up her timeline, I'll share it with you for checking?
