I'll be blunt and say the Duchess is a small problem for our GM, but I think possibly because she's so in your face. She's really loud and obvious. The witchcraft is good and a whole shitload of that went on in Victorian England. Perhaps the part that could be put aside is the anti-church hate?<br/><br/>Every family almost without exception would celebrate Christmas in the traditional way in the Victorian era, they invented Christmas cards then and Prince Albert started the fashion of a tree as well, Christmas (and some pretty intense religious conviction) were completely ingrained in the fabric of the society back then, far more so than now. There would be carols sung around the piano and Church in the morning and all that jazz... I'm not saying the Ambroses are especially devout but its just there, not so much in your face as like the building blocks of society. It seems weird that the Duchess knows the Ambroses so well and yet chooses to come at Christmas knowing the family will be celebrating traditionally... its like hating Justin Timberlake so bad you want to drown him, then agreeing to go with a friend to one of his concerts.<br/><br/>While an anti-Christian person is fine, someone so outspoken against royalty<em>is</em>a little odd... seeing as again Victoria was one of the best monarchs Britain ever had and under her rule the country became immensely powerful and had a vast empire and dynamic economy, she was squeaky clean and very proper and nearly everyone loved her...<br/><br/>Well, meh, I don't want to labour the point... a witch is good. Occult is good, even hating the church and the Queen is okay but maybe calm those parts down. I think its just the loudness of it! LOL. Perhaps if the gas under the anti-royalty and anti-church parts could be dialled down a few notches the Duchess would fit in better.<br/><br/>Oops, hope I'm not causing offence... just tying to help. I also love the second pic you chose for her. Very striking.<br/><br/>And as you can see young Emma might be curious about occulty things.
