Cecilia Bellicot
18 y/o
5'3, 130lbs
blonde hair, blue eyes
BACKGROUND
mother: Catherine (deceased)
father: John
sister: Elizabeth, 5 years younger
-grew up the constant companion of her cousin Edward, just six months her junior, cousins through their fathers. Cecilia's father is the elder brother.
-when she was seven, her mother died in childbirth--her baby, a son, died with her
-Cecilia's father was too devoted to his wife to marry again, even to get an heir--too brokenhearted to even bear his home, full of memories, he relocated his family to their other estate, to stay with his mother, who essentially, from then on, raised Cecilia and her sister. Her father, for all he was loving and doting with his daughters, didn't know the first thing about raising girls. (Still doesn't)
-this put her cousin Edward in line to inherit everything from both his father and his uncle, making him a very great catch indeed. Somewhere in the intervening years, it became Expected for Cecilia and Edward to marry, especially by his mother and their grandmother, in order to keep everything in the family
-too bad they haven't the slightest wish to be married (like marrying your brother, gross) though gossip and general expectations are against them
(actually, Elizabeth seems to have taken a particular liking to Edward herself, not that he would ever notice. Also she's 13)
-her family is quite well-to-do, which means Cecilia doesn't want much for anything (and also that she has a moderately large dowry)
ETC
-good-natured, mischievous
-headstrong and opinionated, in the most pleasant possible way (unless you vex her extremely, then all pleasantry is thrown out the window)
-very feminine, conscientious of her appearance
-has some magical potential, though her Grandmama was greatly Disapproving of magic, and so she never really learned
