Matilda Winslow
24 | She/Her | Female | Winslow #5
+ Eager, gentle, and sweet - Nervous, off putting, and embarrassed
Being the youngest has it's advantages, but it's also got it's drawbacks. Miss Matilda Winslow was younger than her eldest brother by a whopping eight years, and she'd always been the baby of the family.
Their family wasn't close. She was raised mostly by servants, not by her parents. She rarely saw them, honestly. and her eldest brother even rarer. It made her secluded, quiet and awkward.
She had friends, sure. but they weren't her family. She got good at painting, at drawing, and at playing the flute. All of those marketable, but she wasn't good at marketing herself.
She'd been nervous, too nervous to try and present herself fully to the men of the ton. what if they don't like me? she worried to her maids. what if they're just pretending to be nice? So she stayed a wallflower, off to the side.
But this year, she's determined. This will be her year. She's been out for four seasons. She's nice enough, pretty enough. She can find a husband this year, right?
...right?
