Episode Two: The Diadem Ball

Marie Lemeiux: Emmaline's close friend. The two grew up together as young noblewomen, and ran away together to join the circus. Marie is an excellent singer, with blue eyes and corn colored hair. She carries herself with a regal posture, as befitting a noblewoman, and has returned to her family after leaving the circus. Marie is attending the ball for reasons that are unknown thus far.

Lord Beauxbax: A noble lord visiting the manor from lands unknown. A fairly reclusive gentleman, with a strong jawline and salt and pepper striped hair. He appears to be in his mid 50's and carries himself with a firm demeanor which demands respect. Beaubax is attending the party as a personal guest of Lady Dieudonne.

Lord Alberich Addermire: A young nobleman with hawkish features, dark hair and brown eyes. He dresses in dark clothing, and seems fairly out of place among the other guests at the ball. He is tall and well muscled, a body that presumably suits his mysterious pastimes. Addermire has been somewhat of a recluse since taking over his estate at a young age after his father's untimely ****. Lord Addermire is attending the ball for unknown reasons.

The Bishop of Waterford: A middle-aged church leader from a prominent trading town, attending the ball with a few of his subordinates. The Bishop has short blonde hair and harsh blue eyes, which seem to see the evil in everyone around him, even when his words express kindness.

Caroline Beaumanoir: Emmaline's younger sister, far and away the more dutiful of the two. Caroline (called Carly by her sister) has a slender build and a thinner face than her sister. Her chest is not quite as full as her sister's, but she still boasts a fairly impressive figure. Caroline is serious and focused on her duties to her family, likely in reaction to Emmaline's own flippant attitude.

Nicola and Bernard Piella and the Serendipity Cirque: The two sibling leaders of a performing troop, in attendance of the ball as entertainment. Nicola is a contortionist, lightshow performer, and fortune teller, while Brenard is a knife thrower and strongman. Both of the twins have dark complexions with dark hair and green eyes, both are well muscled, though Bernard is quite a bit broader. Their company contains any number of acts, but specialize in combining them into theatric performances.

Sir Davies Wilkman: An up and coming young general in his majesty's royal army. Davies very muscular, slightly above average height, with short red hair. Davies is somewhat the stereotypical picture of a common soldier, crass, aggressive, and with a tendency to speak well before he thinks. Though much of the nobility is uncomfortable around him, Davies seems to be doing his best to use his recent string of military feats to secure himself a place among the more established nobility.

Sir Walter Bellworthy: Another soldier in attendance with Wilkman. Though they occupy the same rank, him and Davies are like day and night. Walter has short brown hair and is somewhat less muscular than Davies, though still well built. He seems just as out of place as Davies, but while Davies embraces this fact and tries to push through, Walter seems to have fancy social interactions as his downfall. For all the acclaim him and Wilkman share, Walter just seems like he wants to go home.

Master Ironeye: A martial arts master from a foreign land, famed for his ability to manipulate his target's nervous system with his attacks. He is in high standing with his home country, but often travels abroad as a well paid mercenary or consort. He has tan skin, with well built though not overstated musculature and brown eyes. He is attending the ball as at the summons of Lady Dieudonne

Jonathon Highwater: A thin man appearing to be in his mid forties. He presents himself with an elegant demeanor, but is very secretive around most everyone, preferring to keep to himself or a few trusted companions. He has, for some time, been a close friend of Lady Dieudonne and her Manor and is attending the ball as her personal guest.
