Childhood (1743-1760)
The eldest of seven children, Augusta was always relied upon to set a good example for her elder siblings, though she rarely did. She enjoyed spending more time getting her younger siblings into trouble than helping them with anything, and as she grew older, flirted ceaselessly with almost any gentleman who caught her eye. Tutors were hired to educate Augusta and her three sisters in everything from painting to dancing, though it was eventually decided that Augusta should be taught in a seminary until she became less rebellious. Augusta was sent away at the age of fifteen, and returned home on her eighteenth birthday. Tamed somewhat by her three years away, Augusta still harboured a rebellious streak which would become evident following her debut in society.
