Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.

It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?

She likes to enjoy a glass of fine imported brandy.

What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

Some fresh hot buttered bread.

Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

She prefers elegant gowns, but when working, trousers are more practical.

Does she know how to fix things?

She is not a helpless female. She has learned to do many things for herself.

She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

The storm that hit Fenwick on Sea was far stronger than anticipated. Now her sloop is beached, the mast broken and there’s no telling what will happen to it before the storm abates.

How does she act around children she doesn’t know?

She is prepared to enjoy their company, or gently curb their exuberance if need be.

What is she like first thing in the morning?

She is usually just turning in then, since her business requires her to work nights.

How does she handle things when in a “proper” social situation?

She finds proper British society a bit stuffy and delights in poking at the conventions.

Maid or takes care of herself?

Alas, her maid left months ago when she was unable to continue paying her salary.

Proper dress or casual clothes?

Most proper, when the occasion calls for it; and most improper when required.

Sleeves buttoned or rolled up?

Buttoned, usually. It’s cold on the water.

Powdered wig or natural hair?

Powdered wigs went out of style ages ago, mon petit!

Carriage or horseback?

Horseback. Alas, the late Comte had to sell the carriage to pay debts.

Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!
