[GLOW=purple]
Every woman felt the restraint of their society, the weight of expectations. Some folded under that weight, following every direction perfectly. Others fought against the expectations that had been placed upon them. What happens in the life of two sisters when one has the love of her life but is forced to marry another for the sake of an entail and the other is forced into a marriage with someone of decent fortune? After all, "it is universally acknowledge that single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice.

When Mr. Parnell dies his estate cannot be passed to his wife or daughters; it has to be passed to the next available male in his family. This male is Mr. Gideon Tansey, cousin to Mr. Parnell. How will this effect the lives of the women? Will they lose their estate? Or will Mr. Tansey take care of his late cousin's family?

Name: Chastity Parnell
Age: 23
Appearance:
Personality: She is normally rather agreeable in nature, but she has grown tired of the weight society has placed upon her, tired of the roles that women have to carry. Besides that mindset, she is sweet. One wouldn't call her soft spoken; she lets her opinions be known, but she understands how to be a well accomplished, genteel lady.
