Harriet Beadle, AKA Tattycoram was an ‘orphan’ (unwanted illegitimate child left at the orphanage) in Little Dorrit, by Dickens. Her adoptive parents treated her like something between a child, a servant and a pet, giving her a name like a root vegetable, when she had the soul of a pirate queen.

As a Fallen Hero, no longer Sidestep, she is the Farm’s Prodigal Daughter. In this new life she will not be sidelined or silenced; she will take control of her story, whether that means smashing up her past self’s exhibit or monologuing out her rage at every chance she gets.

In Little Dorrit, Harriet ran off with an abusive older (strongly implied) girlfriend, eventually having to crawl back to her family for a lecture on duty and Victorian values. Possibly Julia Ortega will prove a better partner one day? Her parents also had a notable dimwitted blonde ingénue of a daughter, Petunia, whose romantic future in particular they were infinitely more concerned with than hers.

This is Harriet’s Puppet, Pet. As a Fallen Hero, Harriet, now literally lives out her trauma-broken romantic desires through her ‘other self’, although the average Victorian parents would certainly have had a few problems with Dr Mortum...but that does not, of course, matter now. Harriet has suffered incalculably more in her new life than her old, but she knows she is strong and free, where she belongs.
