NORA COOPER - TAKEN BY KATE
Age: 26
Portrayal: Willa Fitzgerald
Alliance/Occupation: Loyalist/Baker
Relationships: Thomas Cooper (brother), Nicholas Stafford (deceased secret fiancé), Laura Harris, Maria King (best friends), Roy Cooper, Irene Cooper, Nancy Cooper (cousins), Virginia Wood (new friend), Charles Calvert, Louisa Wilson (friend)
went to work for the staffords when she was eight as a scullery maid at the palace
tbh she was in complete!!!! awe!! of her position there and was proud that she was able to serve the royal family (even in this small capacity!)
nora had been reluctant to leave home with an ill mother, a little brother, and a father who was often away but she knew that they needed the extra income more than they needed an extra set of hands at home
nora loved her father, but she never understood what could be so important to take him away from his family so often (he never could seem to provide any of them with a straight answer)
one day he left and never came back
several months later, word reached them that he was dead
the coopers never did discover that he had given his life so that others could live and that he was a secret moralist who aided fleeing witches and their families
he raised his children as loyalists to protect them …. although he one day meant to tell them the truth, when they were old enough (unfortunately, that day never came)
soon after, her mother died, too, leaving nora and her brother on their own
while working at the palace, nora met and fell in love with nicholas stafford!
she was rather wary of him, at first, because of his reputation and all the other girls warned her that he would likely to love her and leave her
but slowly he broke through her defenses and she started to fall in love
they kept it all a secret - but nicholas had promised her that one day, he would renounce his claim to the throne and go and live a more simple life with her
as long as his father lived, however, it could never be … he would not allow for his only son and heir to give up everything for a kitchen maid
of course, the king had other plans for nicholas, but he promised her that he would never marry anyone else but her
and as soon as his father died, he would go to margot - who he knew would be a much better queen - and tell her everything
but then nicholas died - breaking nora’s heart!
she doesn’t think she could ever love anyone else again!!!
she’s also discovered that she may be pregnant and she’s terrified about what to do about it or how to explain it
so she’s recently resigned from her post and returned home where she’s trying to reestablish the old bakery her parents used to run, hoping she can make it somewhat profitable if and when she has a child w/o a man to help support her
she’s told her brother, tom, everything, and he’s determined to look out for his sister and his future niece or nephew, whatever happens
