BACKSTORY:
Please provide a 3-5 paragraph backstory for your character.
Fanny was born to Liam and Louisa Waketon on October 31st, 1862, 01:23 A.M. at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital in Pendlebury. Liam owned a ship-building company, which he built from the ground up. When she was old enough to comprehend complex ideas, Fanny would visit her father in his workshop, which is where her love for building came from.
Her education started with her mother, who taught her Spanish from an early age, and then progressed to several governesses. Fanny’s private governess, Miranda, taught her reading and writing in both English and Spanish from the age of five until she turned eight. After this, her preparatory governess taught her English, French, geography, history, and math until she was twelve. It was during this time that Fanny got her first pet, a tabby calico cat.
At the age of ten, Fanny’s father died of consumption, which was particularly upsetting because her cat had died several weeks prior. She continued building things in her father’s workshop to honor his memory until she went away to the North London Collegiate School to finish her education, excited by the opportunity to pursue her goals at one of the premier Universities for young women. Here she learned French and Latin, in addition to science, history, mathematics, economics, cooking, dancing, archery and gymnastics. After graduating at the age of seventeen, Fanny returned home to meet her betrothed.
After Fanny turned sixteen, her mother discovered that she was terminally ill. During the next year, Louisa was in talks with various influential families to marry off her daughter, finally settling on the Wraithton family’s heir Ambrose. She did not allow her daughter to meet him until after she was done with her schooling. Though Fanny was not thrilled at the prospect of an arranged marriage, she was soon wooed by the man’s charm.
During their courtship after her return home, Fanny was introduced to the S.T.E.A.M. team, to which she immediately was drawn to. The two married after six months and soon after they were going out on ghost and treasure hunts. She built their steam-powered car and many of the mechanical components in a combined effort with some of the other members of the team.
