Name: Marchioness Pepita Watts-Touvelle, wife of the late Henry Touvelle, 17th Marquess of Huntly

Age: 39

Background: Pepita Watts was a nurse by profession when she moved to France to seek greener pasture and was the fresh age of 21. She was accepted as one of the private nurses at Sainte Marie-Eugénie de Jésus which happens to have newly admitted the rich Marquess of Huntly Henry Touvelle, who was then in the age of 55, twice a widower and not blessed with a single child.

He was immediately captivated by her beauty and her smile. Soon he asked her hand in marriage, without a family to object his marriage with a commoner. 5 years after and one misscarriage, Henry and Pepita welcomed a bouncing baby girl they named Mireille.

And with their ages so far apart, Henry passed away sooner than the rest of his family but with a legacy left at last.

Physical Description: Though born without an aristocrat blood, Pepita was a beauty that could capture a lot of men's stares. In fact, suitors would line up and give gifts to ask her hand in marriage but she preferred leaving her poor life behind and seek work that would help her family. All her prayers were answered when Henry came in the picture.

She also loves to dress in bright and overly adorned gowns matched with a hat and parasol of the same color or fabric, often raises eyebrows from conservative and old rich women.

Characteristics: A very ambitious woman who couldn't believe she would find her luck. And even when she knew that Henry was 34 years her senior, she grabbed the opportunity and said yes to his proposal.

But she spent most of her alone time trying to scrub off Henry's scent off of her. Just imagining him kissing her was enough to make her vomit. The poor Marquis was often sickly and weaker than most men she hoped to marry, it wasn't for his money she wouldn't have dreamt of being with him. She also had to endure copulating with him just so she could ensure his wealth and name.




Name: Madamoiselle Mireille Touvelle

Age: 14 years of age (tentative)

Background: Only Daughter of Marquis Henry Touvelle and Heiress of Huntly, future Marchioness.

Physical Description: Skin that looks like a porcelain, Elle was seldomly allowed to set foot outside of their mansion in Paris (or the one in Huntly, Scotland or their casa in Seville, Spain) as her mother was mostly worried she would get sick, a trait her dear Mamà assumed she inherited from her late Papà. Paired with eyes as cold as a frozen lake in a winter in January.

Characteristics: Mireille, or as she would prefer to be called as Elle especially by her Papà whom she achingly miss, was a daddy's girl until his last breath. Being the only child, he couldn't have asked for more. Aside from the fortune, lands and title, she also inherited his timidness and quiet demeanor. But deep inside Elle is a woman who cannot wait to spread her wings and be independent. And unlike her mother's hope to get her a suitable and rich husband- Elle wanted to explore the things she was prevented to see instead of being tied and expected to be an obedient wife. She is after all the future Marchioness of Huntly.
