I recently started re-reading the finishing school books because I cleaned my room and finally found my copy of Etiquette and Espionage. Bean is having lots of fun chewing on the cover and pouncing on the pages whenever I try to turn them!

sometimes a family is a bubbly lady who was raised by an eccentric gay vampire, her french engineer lover, a practical minded lesbian, a werelioness with an affinity for tassels, an academic redhead who gets pegged, and a female doctor with an assassin mother.  plus the bubbly lady's cousin who tried to kill her and his trans woman interpreter/spy wife

I wonder what other historical characters would be supernatural in the parasolverse. 🤔 Specifically, I’m curious @gailcarriger , how about Wu Xetian? She feels like vampire material.

I feel the the Boxer Rebellion would also make for an excellent supernatural conspiracy.
