PLAYED BY SANSA STARK
- Benjamin Crawford
-
Name: Benjamin James Crawford
Age: 31
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 205 lbs
Personality: Benjamin is a kind, caring and compassionate individual. He is willful, clever and intelligent. He never ceases to help someone in need. He is brilliant in business and thrives on success, though he is a bit shy and takes quite some time to open up to people. He never likes to talk about his condition.
History: Born as the first son of John and Claire-Marie, Benjamin was diagnosed with Becker's muscular dystrophy at the age of 15. He struggled to learn as a child and was often bullied by his peers, especially by his brother and father. His mother took great care of him and taught him how to properly read and write, as well as different methods of exercise to prolong his life. He is able to walk with a cane, thought it pains him excruciatingly after long periods of time.
Likes and Dislikes: Music, kindness, charity, good business, clocks and watches // Intolerance, his brother and father, excessive noise, humiliation, smoking
Family: John Crawford (father, 60), Claire-Marie Crawford (mother, 50), Samuel Crawford (brother, 28) - Samuel Crawford
-
Name: Samuel Joseph Crawford
Age: 28
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 225 lbs
Personality: Samuel shifts between two different personalities. One is his mask, the side he shows most people who don't know him very well. Charismatic, romantic, charming and polite. However, his true nature is much darker. He is cruel at heart and wants only for his own success, willing to sacrifice anyone and everyone for the sake of his own skin. He detests weakness and refuses to associate with the lower classes and races.
History: Born as the second son, he was always under-preferenced as he would not inherit his father's wealth. That is, until his brother, Benjamin, was diagnosed with a physical disability. Since then, Samuel has been doing all he can to show his strength to his father and rise to the top, so he might one day pass up his wiser, calmer brother and become the sole inheritor of his family fortune.
Likes and Dislikes: Riches, beautiful women, patriarchy, art, wine // Poor people, outspoken women, people who beat him, his brother, playing by the rules
Family: John Crawford (father, 60), Claire-Marie Crawford (mother, 50), Benjamin Crawford (brother, 31) - Claudette LeMay
-
Name: Claudette Emilie LeMay
Age: 26
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 125 lbs
Personality: By nature, Claudette is the sort of person who will either love you with all her heart, or hate you with all her guts. She loves gossip and helping others, though the latter is a trait she developed on her own as her family is rather uncharitable and snooty. She has no idea how to become a generous person, but she tries, so most forgive her shortcomings. She is typically very happy and boisterous, though knows when to get serious.
History: Born as the only daughter of a high lord, Claudette was doted on since birth. Her father worked to support their lavish lifestyle, so she rarely saw him and did not mourn him when he died from an accident after falling off a horse. She married a Count and makes a wealthy living as countess, though she refuses to have children until she is 30, convinced it will ruin her youthful body. She enjoys her position as a Countess at court. Benjamin is a dear friend of hers.
Likes and Dislikes: Gossip, fashion, men, friendship, wealth // Rudeness, misunderstandings, her husband, bad fashion, rum
Family: Count Frederick LeMay (husband, 36), Gerald Bellerose (brother, 21)
PLAYED BY LILLIAN GRAY
- Elisabeth Lane
-
Name: Elisabeth Lane
Age: 18
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 140 lbs
Personality: Daring, confident, alluring, all words which might describe the young Elisabeth Lane. She has an air of intrigue about her which beckons strangers forward somewhat akin to a sirens murmur in their ear. She enjoys conversation and excels at being the life of a social event. When the day is said and done, the young woman likes to enjoy the private company of her closest companions.
History: Elisabeth doesn't know much of her past, other than the fact that her parents died in a horrible fire. It certainly explained her excruciating fear of all things fire and flame. She is still scarred from the event, her back still a raw red, with only two ghostly sections clear. Where her father held her as they fled. At least, that's how it had been explained to her. She tries not to think about the misfortune, and finds herself lucky to be alive at all.
She grew up knowing nothing but love. The market didn't call to her, like it did the rest of her family, but she still enjoyed strolling the square and examining wares from other lands across the seas. Someday, the girl hopes she can find a love as genuine as her aunt and uncles.
Family:
- Edmond Lane (father) deceased
- Lisette Lane (mother) deceased
- Abel Lane (uncle)
- Clarisse Lane (aunt)
- Madeline Lane (cousin)
Likes and Dislikes:
+ Foreign Goods and Trade
+ Music
+ Opera and Theater
+ Fashion
+ A Silver Ring (the last memento she has of her father)
- Fire
- "Drunken Idiots" (as she'd put it, men who fool around)
- Deception
- Ship Travel
- Misfortune on Anyone - Madeline Lane

-
Name: Abel Lane
Age: 48
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 200 lbs
Personality: The man is a charismatic face in the town market, his presence the most notable in any space. He has a distinguishable booming voice which attracts even the most nervous patrons. After the death of his younger brother, Abel's charm seemed less genuine, and more distant. However, he did not let this deter his business at the square. Abel does have a strong pull towards his work, but nothing would keep him from being a father to his daughter and niece, and a husband to his beloved wife.
History: Abel was born no more than a single year before that of his brother, Edmond. They were born into a highly respected merchant family, dealing heavily in trade overseas in exotic goods from distant lands. As they grew, their talents became more apparent in the market. Where Edmond excelled in distant relations, Abel found comfort in the local markets of his hometown. It was there, at his family's shop, he met the love of his life, Clarisse. They were married within two years, and Madeline followed soon after.
When Madeline was nearing her sixth birthday, tragedy struck the Lane family. In a massive fire which destroyed Edmond's home, the brother and his wife lost their lives. By some miracle, their infant daughter survived. Abel immediately took her in and treated her as his own. He keeps his suspicions about the fire's origin to himself, and does not talk about the event to anyone.
Family:
- Clarisse (wife)
- Madeline (daughter)
- Elisabeth (niece)
- Edmond (brother) deceased
Likes and Dislikes:
+ Customer Service
+ Good Weather
+ Handcrafted Goods
+ Home (and staying there)

Name: Clarisse Lane
Age: 45
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 170 lbs
Personality: Clarisse is the perfect match for her husband. Her upbeat air is a compliment to his confident personality. She's never caught without a smile on her face, and is always looking to brighten the mood whenever she can. Cheery would be an understatement.
History: The woman comes from a simple background, a farming family on the outskirts of the city. She'd often come into town to maintain good business trade between local merchants and the aristocratic communities looking for fresh, quality, goods. At the age of nineteen, Clarisse met, and subsequently fell in love with Abel Lane. She left her large family behind to find her new place in the merchant community. They married two years later, and produced their only child together in quick succession.
