rose williams. female. she/her. ― is that dodie weston i saw during this years first ball of the season? the twenty six year old is preparing to find a suitor but is enticed by the social season. they are known to be kind, but also overbearing, but focus on the positives when finding their chosen one. [aspen, she/they, 22, PST. ]

name: lady dodie renee weston. preferred name: dodie. age: twenty and six. hometown: london. backstory: born and raised in london, dodie is the only child and daughter of a baron. the family is quite close, respectable members of the lot. at the age of sixteen, however, her family relocates to vienna, austria, to care for her maternal grandfather, who fell ill. it isn't until a decade later does she return, just in time for the season to begin. all her life, she's told she doesn't have to marry for duty, and instead for love, which is the only marriage dodie truly believes in. however, her family's return to england, was caused by their failing financial state. dodie, despite her mother's assurance, decides it's time to stop being picky when it comes to whom she weds, in hopes to save her family from permanent ruin. personality: she's a very intelligent book worm, who has a kind heart, but could be as fierce as many if needed to be. though easily flustered, she isn't afraid to make a move and call out anyone on their bs, and sometimes, she should probably bite her tongue, but it's hard to do when her mouth moves quicker than her head, sometimes. with her good-nature, dodie could come off as a little overbearing, underlying with a hero complex, that has her putting her nose where it doesn't belong - her only goal to make everyone happy. close relationships: she's very close to her family, that's for certain. she also had a few friends in the ton before her move, but who know's just how close they'll still be with her return to society! wanted connections: old friend, close friend, childhood crush ( whether it's requited, or unrequited. ), fake courting, etc. open to all dynmaics!

colin looked at the young women next to him and smirked ❝i wouldn't be too hard on yourself. i have heard some men complain this young lady could not dance, and then saw them with someone else, and they were fine. i have 4 sisters, and let me tell you, you can not be as bad as my sister eloise.❞ he laughed ❝maybe you just need a better teacher. if you truly can not dance, its not as if that is all that matters.❞

[dodieweston]

"that is certainly reassuring," dodie replies earnestly with a relieved laugh, bobbing her head in a short nod. plucking a pastry from the buffet in front of her, the young woman flickers her gaze back towards the other. "yes, i suppose a better teacher would work. or, maybe, surgeon who could fix my terribly cursed two left feet." she jests, her peach colored lips spread into a playful grin.

Oliver was taking his break from the dance floor. he had danced with a number of pretty young debutants. since he decided this would be the year he would look for his wife, he decided he should start attending these balls and parties. he had in the past, but more of a way of connecting with old friends. now it was more serious. he didn't dislike any of the ladies he danced with, but when he brought up the idea of being outside, of riding, or traveling, they all seemed uninterested. ❝i am sure you are not that bad miss, you probably just need the right partner.❞ he offered her a glass of lemonade. ❝to keep up your ruse❞ he smiled and winked

[dodieweston]

wide doe like eyes flicker towards the male, her lips pulled into a polite smile. "i wish you were correct, however, i was unfortunately cursed with two left feet." dodie laughs, gloved fingers pressing against her lips as her head shakes. sadly, it was the truth. the young woman had yet to master the art of more... hands on dances. which wasn't quite good, after all, how could she ever reel in a suitor if she's breaking feet around london? "oh, thank you." chin dips into a thankful nod as free hand reaches for the lemonade. "and what of you? are you any good at a waltz?"

jacuqetta was enjoying a walk in the park. james was with the nanny, and it was one of the rare times she did not have to be lady covington. she had never cared about her late husbands title, she had married him because he was a good man and friend. unlike some men she’d met, he didn’t treat her as an accessory but as a true friend. she was still trying to make sure she kept up with everything so that when she son was old enough, he would be able to offically become the earl. jacquetta’s hate flew off her head and landed next to someone ❝oh i do apologize, its much windier than i was expecting❞

[dodieweston]

a lonesome bench had become the perfect occupant for dodie, after several hours of wondering around the gardens. something about the smell of fresh flowers and the birds chirping had always been a calming scene for her solitude. the accessory swifts past her, and for a moment, the young woman believed it to be a bird, causing her to yelp. "oh, dear." she giggles at realization, lifting the hat between her fingers as her gaze drags towards the other. "no need for apologies. i gave up on my very own moments ago. the wind is quite nasty today." assures softly, reaching to hand the piece of fabric back. "would you care to sit down?"

[dodieweston]

slender and manicured fingers tap anxiously against her stomach, covered with the thick fabric of her peach colored gown. it felt odd, to be attending such soiree. of course, dodie has attended them in the past, but that was back in vienna, as before her move, she was practically a year shy of being able to attend the ones hosted in london. finding herself approaching the table of appetizers, her gaze briefly finds the other. "pardon me while i pretend to be parched, when in fact i'm quite worried about being swooped into another waltz. if i step on another lords foot, well, i'm not sure i can stomach any more embarrassment..."
