Childhood (1793-1811)

Juliet's childhood was spent trying to step out from Elizabeth's perfect shadow that she had cast over Juliet. Since her birth, Juliet had been loud and the seeker of attention (in a way not dissimilar to her paternal grandmother, Augusta Landon) and found that no matter what she did, she could never measure up to Elizabeth in her mother's opinion. Instead, Juliet has become somewhat of a nuisance to the Landon family, generally causing havoc whenever she can to make sure that her family doesn't forget about her. Because of her closeness in age to Elizabeth, the two grew up alternating between being good friends and worst enemies. The two girls had a variety of tutors hired to teach them a variety of skills, though Juliet tended to scare a lot of them off. It wasn't until Elizabeth left for her Season in 1810 that Juliet began to realize how big of a part her sister played in her life, and began looking forward to when her sister would return home.

Debut (1811)

1811 was a year that Marion Landon had not been looking forward to, as it was the year that she would be forced to unleash Juliet upon society. Though Juliet was not as rambunctious as she had been as a child, there was still some concern that she would muddle something up. So far she has proven to be more outgoing than perhaps accepted in society, but she has found herself with a great many acquaintances and friends already in London, as well as a few potential suitors.

Battle of the Debutantes (1811)

Having only been in London for a week, Juliet has already found herself embroiled in a battle with Julianne Grafton for the title of Incomparable for the 1811 Season. Thus far Juliet has beaten Lady Julianne in newspaper mentions, and Julianne responded by spilling lemonade all over Juliet's dress. Juliet has garnered support from Elizabeth Landon, Charity Pritchard, Elizabeth Dunford and Charlotte Tolson thus far in her quest to bring down Lady Julianne, but only time will tell how the Season will end...

Friendships

Daphne Werlinghton, Duchess of Beaumont - Juliet met her completely by accident, but their odd sort of friendship has proved fruitful. The Duchess seems to really like Juliet, and has introduced her to her brother, Damien Relmsey.

Damien Relmsey, Viscount Torrington - One of Juliet's favourite people in London, she first met him when he was hurt outside of Beningborough House, only to discover that he was the Duchess's brother.

Charlotte Tolson, daughter of the Baron Middleton - Juliet's cousin, who she has taken an instant liking to. She likes Charlotte's sweetness and honesty, a refreshing change from her turbulent relationship with her sister, Elizabeth.

Charity Pritchard, cousin of the Marchioness of Emerson - A new friend, they finally made each others' acquaintance at the Emerson Ball. The two get on like a house on fire, and Charity shares Juliet's distaste of Lady Julianne.

Elizabeth Dunford, sister of the Duke of Claitonborough - Introduced to Juliet via Charity, the two get along quite well, and Juliet is happy to find that there exists another debutante who is almost as impertinent as herself, at times!

Aquaintances

Blake Pritchard, Marquess of Emerson - Took a turn around the room with him at Almack's, instantly attracted to his biting wit and innocent flirtation. She realizes that he'll never be interested in her, but that won't stop her from developing a little crush.

Tristan Edgeworth, Viscount Latimer - While their families both come from Yorkshire, and have met before, Tristan and Juliet have never really spoken until Almack's. They're both a little awkward, but could develop a friendship.

Edouard Loring, Earl of Denholme - Juliet shared a rather flirtatious dance with Edouard at Almack's, which then lead to a call at Beningborough House the next day. She's unsure of him still, but appreciates his willingness to go along with her flirtation.

Nicholas Gosling, Duke of Leighton - What started off as a very stormy encounter soon blossomed into a very tenuous relationship. While both aren't entirely sure if they like the other, they do their best to put on a good front.

George Hackett, Viscount Selwyn - While George may have enjoyed his dance with Juliet, she most certainly did not. She finds him rather boring and old, but does love his stories of Italy.

Damien Relmsey, Viscount Torrington - another accidental acquaintance, Juliet met the brother of the Duchess of Werlington under very peculiar circumstances...she does, however, find him quite charming and likes him already.

Rosalind Fairmont, sister of the Marquess of Foxford - met through her cousin, Charlotte. Was invited to Lady Rosalind's picnic, which she was very happy about. Hasn't spent much time with her, but thinks she's a nice enough lady.

Marcus Fairmont, Marquess of Foxford - also met through Charlotte, Juliet is well aware of Charlotte's feelings for him, despite the fact she has never told Juliet about them. Thinks him pleasant enough, and would very much like to get to know him better.

Sylvester Leveson, son of the Duke of Elsings - met at Lady Rosalind's picnic, Juliet spent a good deal of time flirting with him, simply because she could. Wants to continue their acquaintanceship, but isn't all that interested in a romance with him.

Edith Vaughan - Juliet's newest friend, she gets along quite well with Edith. Also met by accident at Lady Rosalind's picnic. They spent a great deal of time talking about books and mythology.

Amelia Leveson, daughter of the Duke of Elsings - Juliet's first real frenemy, she finds Mia's presence dull, annoying and incredibly frivilous. She's embarrassed to be a debutante with the girl, but has to be pleasant to her because of her rank.

Viola Fitzgerald, daughter of the Earl of Rotherham - only met briefly at the picnic, and doesn't really have an opinion of the lady as of yet.

David Alford, Earl of Auckland - an old acquaintance of Juliet's, she finds that the more she gets to know him, the more she wishes she didn't.

Henry Layton II, Earl of Parry - One of Juliet's newest acquaintances, she finds the Earl to be very charming, but rather thinks that he may be interested in Charity...

Annabelle Beacham, daughter of Sir Rowland Beacham - Juliet barged into a conversation that Miss Beacham was having at the Fitzgerald's Musicale, introducing herself to her fellow debutante. While Belle is perhaps a little too obsessed with puppies for Juliet's liking, she thinks that she is a nice enough girl.

Alethea Tessington, Viscountess Tessington - Also introduced to the Viscountess at the Fitzgerald Musicale, Juliet had been warned off by her mother about Alethea, though Juliet likes the Viscountess very much.

Victor Kincaide, Viscount Moodswing - I mean, Viscount Hawksley ... - Scared him off at the Fitzgerald Musicale. Can't decide to feel bad for the gentleman or to laugh.

Penelope Grove, daughter of the Marquess of Pendleston - Juliet can't seem to get a measure of the girl. She is a friend of Elizabeth's, so perhaps that is why she seems to strange to Juliet.

Patrick Grove, son of the Marquess of Pendleston - Daniel Rossington's best friend, Juliet finds him quite funny and amiable enough.

Elizabeth Hampton, ward of the Marchioness of Emerson - Juliet knows Elise through Charity, and knows that Elise is friends with Julianne Grafton. Juliet feels bad for the sweet girl, who should probably be on their side against Julianne.
