Constance Cole is the younger sister of the Earl of Bramley. She is 21, single and, to her nearest and dearest, is known as 'Ceecee'.
She had a moderately successful debut, as befitted the youngest daughter of an Earl, and possesses an acceptable dowry. Constance received two proposals that season, however, both were refused by her mother, who deemed them inappropriate for her daughter. Quite happily, Constance returned to her beloved family home in the Cumberland -- The Breakers.
Just as winter was ending in the new year, Constance fell victim to an illness that swept through the nearby village. For weeks a fever raged, and for a time, even doctors did not think that she would make it. Weeks later the fever broke and Constance woke from her laudanum induced-sleep, a shell of her former self. Gaunt and thin from the battle for her health, Constance remained bedridden for some weeks after.
Thanks to the diligent care of her mother, and their staff, Constance regained her strength, slowly but surely. By Spring of 1810, she had shooed Alfie and Suze off to enjoy the season; they trusted that she knew her own body better than any of them, and were content to let her stay in the North. It was not as lonely an existence as people believed it to be, for Constance was kept up to date with letters from her friends, all of whom loved her for her quiet steadiness, and were hopeful for her eventual return. She had always enjoyed letter-writing, and replied her correspondence diligently, her way with words, adding flair to even the most mundane observations in the wild northern country.
Having rested for year, Ceecee has decided to rejoin her family in the capital. She worries for her brother, having heard the news of his engagement and its subsequent dissolution. Since arriving she has renewed her acquaintance with old friends, and made new ones.
Being in town has also reminded her that she must soon think of her own future, though a part of her wonders if perhaps, she isn't quite so ready to commit herself to someone else as society assumes she is.
