<strong>Name:</strong>Violet Edwards (called "Miss Edwards")<br/>(http://i56.tinypic.com/11tx4y9.jpg)(http://i53.tinypic.com/a1sg1l.jpg)(http://i52.tinypic.com/nlrash.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Resident Tutor of Etiquette and Deportment<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>26<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'5"<br/><br/><strong>Weight:</strong>145 lbs.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong>44/30/40 (waist 26 corseted), C cup<br/><br/><strong>Hair:</strong>Dark brown, almost black<br/><br/><strong>Eyes:</strong>Purple<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>A woman serious beyond her years, who dislikes frivolity and nonsense almost as much as she despises bad manners. Underneath her cold exterior she is really tender-hearted, and is strict with her pupils because she wants to help them improve their lives. She is not a sexual sadist, but will employ physical punishment if she feels it is necessary. She always wears black, as she believes it to be the most practical color.<br/><br/><strong>Bio:</strong>Violet Edwards was the only child of a middle-class intellectual, who had the progressive idea that since he had no son, he would make his daughter into a scholar. Even though his wife had barely survived Violet's birth, and could not have any more children at risk to her life, Mr. Edwards loved her dearly and was faithful to her until her death. She died of a fever when Violet was seven years old. Mr. Edwards succumbed to depression, and only his love for his daughter kept him from suicide; it was unthinkable that he should take a new wife. And so, at this tender age, Violet became the lady of the house and responsible for her father's happiness. As well as his depression, he took ill easily and became increasingly frail as she grew up.<br/><br/>When Violet was 18, she convinced her father to let her go into service as a governess, and used her salary to hire a nurse for him. Her serious demeanor and extensive education made her an excellent teacher, and with each succeeding placement her recommendations allowed her to move to a larger household with greater esteem. By the age of 22 she had an impressive reputation, not only for being a good teacher but for instilling her charges with seriousness and maturity. She began teaching etiquette at a famous ladies' finishing school, where her methods continued to earn her praise.<br/><br/>Several years later, she was discovered by an agent of the Ambrose family and offered a position. She was unwilling at first to leave the school, but the salary being offered would not only pay for her father's nurse, but allow her to save some money. Though she has no clear idea of what to do with her savings, it is utterly sensible to have some, and thus her job with the Ambrose family is satisfying to her. Something may be off with her natural empathy, as she is not overly troubled by the sometimes-harsh treatment of the girls.<br/><br/>Violet is for all intents and purposes sexless, as she sees eroticism as a distraction from more important things, like education or industry. Her attitude to the sexual goings-on is one of polite indifference. She expects the pleasures of the upper class to be decadent and it does not directly affect her, so why should she care?
