AGE:BIRTHDAY:OCCUPATION:FAMILY:CANON?:FACE CLAIM:PHYSICALWrite about the highlights of your character's physical attributes.
HISTORYWrite about your character's history. Where did they come from? What was their childhood like? What large or small events made them into the person they are today in 1903? Think about aspects of their personality and what events could have created them -- the "greatest" (or worst) hits of their life, with a little vignette slipped in here or there. If they are a guest of the Carlyles (i.e. an upstairs person not in the canon list),
please include WHY they are visiting. This may be as simple as a distant relative or old family friend. But try to be creative!
PERSONALITYWrite (or break it out into lists) on your character's personality. Include their strengths, goals, likes, dislikes, fears, weaknesses, and how they would react to small children badgering them (okay, maybe not the last one!).
