Personal Information
Appearance
The Dame is tall and sturdily built, always dressed impeccably in the closest modern equivalent to the socially correct dress of her youth. In court or in company, she is dressed in purple-accented black with a high collar, jabot, full smocked shirt, corset and bustled silk skirt. She will usually also have long lace cuffs, standing ruff and lace veiled riding hat, but she has been seen without them.
Personality
She's a true product of Queen Victoria's reign - proud, upright, and correct to a fault. Will often refuse to speak directly to somebody she hasn't been properly introduced to, although she can sometimes get creative about it. Always polite, especially when she's being rude. The finer points of wording are occasionally lost on her though, as this is the first English (she would consider the term loosely applicable) speaking court she has visited. Her requiem has until now been spent in Europe, so misunderstandings do occur especially where Invictus technicalities aren't immediately distinguishable from last century's high-society language.
