Brief physical description of your character: Poor Lucy. She isn't one blessed with great beauty. That isn't to say she's ugly, exactly. She's more…plain and homely, really. And next to her sisters, she is positively bland. She is a tall girl with a very thin figure. Her eyes are a dull brown, but large. Her hair is also a dull shade of brown, and at times it is positively a mess because of how curly it is. There wasn't much care taken for Lucy's appearance anymore, so while her sisters sparkled, Lucy barely even glittered. She has an intelligent face, and a brain to match it.

Brief description of your characters history, including family:One or two plots which you would like to play out in the community: Lucy Pendelton is the first of five daughters for Lord and Lady Pendelton. The Pendelton family was part of the aristocracy in name only. All their wealth had vanished long ago in business deals gone wrong. That didn't stop them from traveling in the best social circles and attending all the high society affairs. That was the thing about the aristocracy. They didn't mind if you had the money, so long as you had the title. Poor Lucy was the homely one of the bunch. At first, her mother tried to groom her and make her attractive, but then her sister Lillian was born. Lillian was blessed with everything Lucy was not, and the family placed all their hopes on Lillian to marry well and bring in some money. After Lillian came Laura and then Louisa and finally little Lottie. Each daughter was more beautiful than the last, and each one pushed Lucy further and further down in the pecking order. Lucy didn't mind much, not really, anyways. To her, her sisters were silly featherbrains, who knew nothing of life other than fancy gowns and pretty baubles. Lucy knew more of the world than that, and figured she was better off in the long run.

The family attended many gatherings and parties, always proud to show off their four youngest daughters. Lucy came along but she was never noticed, in fact, she was practically non-existent. From the sidelines, she watched as one after another, her sisters married, leaving just her, Louisa and Lottie behind. All the focus was on Louisa and Lottie, and Lucy was left with very little supervision and a whole lot of time.

Since she had given up on her chances of ever finding a husband, Lucy decided to use her invisibility to her advantage. Since the ton loved nothing more than knowing the latest gossip, Lucy started a gossip column that was published in the Sunday paper. She wrote it using the name Lady Littlebird, and she was making quite a profit for herself. A very secret profit, of course, for if anyone knew that she was Lady Littlebird, she would be in a right mess, wouldn't she?

One or two plots which you would like to play out in the community: Perhaps someone discovering the identity of Lady Littlebird. That could lead to a lot of trouble for Miss Lucy.

Are there any other characters you would like to see in the game? For instance, family, friends of your character?: *shrug*
