Family

Father - Henry Garrison b. 1754 - d. 1784 (m. 1783)

Mother - Louisa, Lady Selkirke, formerly Mrs. Garrison, nee Gordon. b. 1764

NPC - In town for the season, with her daughters and husband.

Step-Father - Sir Rowan Selkirke, Bart., b. 1750 (m. 1786)

NPC - Rebecca will do anything to avoid encountering her stepfather. Which just became a little more difficult, as the Selkirkes have evidently come to town for the season.

Paternal Aunt - Rebecca Northcott, nee Garrison, b. 1763

NPC - Paternal aunt. Rebecca met her aunt's family quite recently, and likes them.

Uncle - Aldous Northcott, b. 1756

Siblings:

John Selkirke "Jack" b. 1787

NPC - Half-brother; not currently staying with his mother, father and sisters. Actually hasn't shown up yet, in any form.

Laura Selkirke b. 1790

NPC - Half-sister. Surprised her in Hyde Park, and indicated that she would shortly be joined by the rest of Rebecca's family, (also NPCs) who have evidently come down for the Season. Rebecca professes to love her family as she ought, but wishes she may see very little of them.

Catherine Selkirke "Cathy" b. 1794

NPC - Youngest half-sister, in London for the Season.

Cousins:

Henry Northcott b. 1782

Elizabeth Northcott "Bessie" b. 1791

Friends

Penelope Grove - Alright, so Penny's her charge in technical terms, but Rebecca would do anything to make her happy, and feels a sisterly affection for the girl, even stronger, perhaps, than her affection for her own immediate family. She has been Penny's governess for the past six years.

Benjamin Grove, Marquess of Pendleston - NPC - Her employer and a wonderful gentleman, Rebecca quietly dotes upon the Marquess.

Sir Phillip Vaudrey - met briefly in the park at Easter, though it was an all-around awkward encounter and no introductions were made. Later encountered Sir Phillip when the gentleman intervened on Rebecca's behalf as she was being bothered by an impertinent young rapscallion, whereupon he walked her home. Having conversed relatively pleasantly on this and subsequent occasions, they are becoming better friends, though Rebecca believes the gentleman is merely being kind and polite.

Aquaintances

Philip Grove - NPC - Another of Penny's brothers, Rebecca has nothing ill to say of Philip.

Percy Grove - NPC - The youngest child, Rebecca is inclined to like the boy.

Basil Brett - sort of. He half-introduced himself amidst his babbling at St. George's, but Rebecca didn't pay it much mind, nor offer her name in return.

Claudia Morton - Met briefly upon the steps of St. George's. Rebecca felt rather awkward and wishes she had held her tongue, but Lady Worth did not seem to mind her less than reverent attitude.

Evander Whinging - Met him, along with Penelope, in a book shop. Is fairly indifferent to him.

Enemies

Richard Lewis - NPC - ex-fiance. Attempted to elope, then force a marriage by her ruin, before he finally abandoned Rebecca under very harsh circumstances when it was revealed that she would not receive any money from her step-father.

Thomas Sterne - Fiance. Accepting the captain for practical reasons rather than any liking for the man, Becca quickly came to believe him incapable of reform, and despairs of making her marriage tolerable.

Sir Rowan Selkirke - Arguably responsible for the above two and a whole lot more.

Patrick Grove - Has known the eldest Grove for several years, but has never seen much of him. She wants to think well of all the Grove family but finds Patrick's overall behaviour to be disgraceful and the man himself to be rather vile, even if he is her superior in all worldly senses. Having perhaps foolishly confronted him on more than one occasion in recent history, her aversion for the man and her fear that his wounded pride will lead to unhappy consequences as he runs the household in lieu of his father, Rebecca has added yet another practical motive to her list of reasons why she ought to marry such a horrible man as Captain Sterne.
