Background
The marriage between the French noblewoman Jacinthe and Baldwin was the most favourable match either of the two could wish for; the one because of her lesser ancestry, the other because of some scandalous adventures in his youth. Laeticia was an early product of this marriage, and her problematic birth was believed to be the cause for Jacinthe's subsequent failure to produce a male heir. To everybody's joy, however, the heir was produced after a number of stillborn babies and infant deaths; thus Laetitia's already minuscule role in the lives of her parents was further diminished. The young girl did everything to please her parents while developing the ever present feeling that nobody ever would pay enough attention to her. No matter how much she calculated her every move, there was never sufficient praise or scolding.
After receiving a basic education in England, Laetitia was sent to her family in France shortly after her fifteenth birthday. There her accomplishments were further enhanced, and the young woman was encouraged to perform her singing perhaps more frivolously than was appropriate. Her habit of always being as eye-catching as possible brought her the long-desired attention of hordes of well-bred young French men, sometimes a little too much from the perspective of the responsible adults around her: more than one of her admirers has been admitted too much proximity to her.
When her mother fell seriously ill in 1808, Laetitia was brought home to England to be at her side and to decorate the home in her place. After getting re-accustomed to the climate, customs and language, she is now enjoying herself in London after her mother's recovery; she pretends to be as much on the outlook for a suitable man as her mother is, but herself aims mostly just to have fun.
