ZIPPORAH FARLEY

B.1869 | MCPB | PB: ALEXANDRA SHIPP
While Zipporah may be living the deb life in theory, in reality she likely spends 90% of her social interactions on the topic of eccentric muggle inventions. Or her own inventions. Unlike Jemima, she cares much less what people think of her and is comfortable in her own skin. Her general vibe is 'cute but weird', do what you want with that.

MIA WHITBY

B.~1875 | WCHB | PB: AIMEE LOU WOOD
How do you solve a problem like Mia? Mia has never been very good at magic, so her few years at school were hard for her. Since coming home, she has obtained a low-level job, possibly in a shop, and in her spare time uses her artistic flair to help create prettily patterned stationary/card/invitation designs on the little letterpress in the printshop. Prone to daydreaming, she fancies herself an actress, and everyone thinks she would have done very well as a debutante in another life – secretly, she has been known to borrow cast-off ballgowns as her seamstress friend repairs them and sneak into the occasional society party. (Well, if she's designed the invites...) She thinks all her problems would probably be solved by marrying rich.

“FABIAN”

B.~1860-1865 | WCHB | PB: LUCIEN LAVISCOUNT
He’s her head printer, but sometimes Tess feels like Fabian just wants to watch her fail. An experienced printer, he has been working for their shop for years; and though Tess manages the place now, it probably wouldn’t run without him. As her father’s right-hand-man, he may have privately hoped to take over the place in his stead. They used to get along better and he’s still genial with other people, but nowadays Tess finds him difficult, and they tend to butt heads. (He disapproves of her more political publishing decisions, saying the shop can’t afford to lose all its custom to controversy – and she hates when their longstanding customers defer to him and not her.) And she keeps expecting him to, but he hasn’t left Whitby & Co. yet.
