    - - - - Dreams, Cecily would like to marry well and for love. She does not need to tie herself to a man for their wealth and wants a man she can love and that can help her make further advancements at court.

    - - - - Fears, A loveless marriage. Cecily fears being unloved and only being used.

    - - - - Overall Personality,
    Cecily is a young woman with great ambition and would like to make a name for herself at court but with a man she can love by her side. What is the use of power and wealth if you have no one you share it with?

    Cecily is aware that her desire to be loved might conflict with her plans to marry for power and position. She wishes for both but knows that to have a marriage filled with love is rare and her first obligation is first to further her family name and make good strong ties.

    She is spirited and sticks up for who and what she believes in.Cecily is stubborn and does not bend easily to other people's will but in a world ruled by men she has to bow to them when pressed and reminded of her place. This does not make her happy and can be resentful for the yoke she is under.

    Cecily is honest and loyal, when asked her opinion on a matter she will answer truthfully and will not just say what others want to hear. A woman of intelligence she will not pretend to be stupid so that men might find her more appealing.

    Cecily has a big heart and wears it on her sleeve. Her romantic nature and desire to be loved is a weak spot and could be used to manipulate her to do one's bidding. She Loves and hates passionately. A person loved by her will have no greater ally and those who are hated she has little time for and treats with contempt.

    She treats people with kindness not matter there situation in life. It costs nothing to treat others with grace and civility. A little common decency goes a long way and you never know when a individual might be of help in life. Cecily abhors cruelty and tries her best not to be the means or cause of another persons suffering.

    Family Members,


    father - William Bonville, 6th Baron Harington (deceased)
    stepfather - William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings
    mother - Lady Katherine Neville
    brothers - Edward
    Richard
    William

    - - - - Overall History,

    Cecily is the only child of the 6th baron of Harington. When she was only six months old her father, paternal and maternal grandfather’s were killed in battle with waring lords over land. Later that same year male relatives who stood to gain the title and wealth all died as the ship they were on board sank in the English channel, as none could swim they all drowned. This made Cecily one of the wealthiest heiress in england with numerous estates in the west county as well as manors in Yorkshire, Cumberland,Lincolnshire and Lancashire.

    Her mother Lady Katherine remarried lord hastings a very powerful man and it was from her step father Cecily has acquired a desire to marry well. Not with a man necessarily of wealth but of position, so that her considerable assets when combined with her husbands standing will lead to a good standing and position at court.

    Her mother Lady Katherine and step father Lord Hastings both insisted she learn to run a household, prepare meals, read, sew, dance, saying that it would be of great benefit in attracting a husband and in marriage. Cecily fell in love with poetry and acquired a rather romantic nature and has lead to her hope for of a marriage of love. This at at times is odd with her ambition to succeed but although it is greatest wish that she could be led by her heart, Cecily knows that a marriage with good connections comes first.

    While growing up Cecily wanted for nothing. When she was not being taught her role as a obedient woman and wife she would spend many hours with her stepfather and half brothers. Being in male company for a large part of her youth has made her very much aware of her place in society and her status as inferior to men. She has great respect for her step father but has seen first hand the cruelty capable by men, the domineering and cold way woman can be treated, especially those of those of a lower standing. Cecily fears being a pawn in a man's world and being treated harshly. She hopes for a kind man but knows she has little choice and that ties to wealth and connection come first. The church and Lord Hastings have taught her that "Women in her greatest perfection was made to serve and obey man."

    Cecily has come to court to be a lady in waiting and to find herself a husband. Her step farther Lord Hastings made the arrangements and introductions as he attends court on occasion , he was a friend of the precious King but this has not extended to King Henry. Lord Hastings believes Cecily's great wealth will attract a man of title and power which will be of benefit to the family as a whole. The countryside has little to offer in the way of suitable matches, Hampton court is ripe with possibilities.

  • - - - - Roleplay Sample,

    SAMPLE FROM A TWILIGHT BASED RP

    Garrett stood in the snowy clearing, his hands pushed into the front of his jeans with his thumbs hooks into the loops. He was normally hardly ever nervous or scared, Garrett had a taste for adventure and challenges but even he could not deny the fact that this was one encounter he might not walk away from. Death did not scare him, his eyes drifted to Katrina. Garrett watched her as she fidgeted and kicked the snow, he could feel her unease and it was for her feared not himself.

    During his nomadic life up till now he had not made attachments but now he had met Katrina that had all changed. Over the last few days in preparation for the battle with the Volturi he had spent much time with the beautiful blond vampire and she had stirred something inside of him.Katrina's way of life and that of the Cullen's intrigued him. It had opened his eyes to a new way of life and the bonds it had created among these covens amazed him.

    Garrett eyes scanned the field and the mummers of nervous vampires filled the air but his gaze quickly returned to Katrina. The loss of life of might be great and it saddened him that so many might fall but his only concern was the woman he starred at now. Garrett pushed his hands deeper into his pocket and walked forward a few paces to stand closer to Katrina. He knew full well that she could take of herself. Garrett had felt the strength of her ability but he would fight beside her and ensure her safety till he ceased to exist.

    He smiled at Katrina, hoping that it would reassure her. Garrett would do anything for her, he would follow her to the ends of the earth.

Hi and welcome, Tasha!

Just one request because it's making it hard for me to read your app... Could you just write it normally without being all caps? Thanks!

Hello, Tasha! I'm Brandy, and welcome to FKAC yo. I took a look at your application, and thank you for taking out the all caps. There are some things that need to be edited. In the personality, I feel like I need more, for I don't really know Cecily at all, besides from the fact that she is ambitious and headstrong. Being raised predominately by men back in this time period, women would be told that she is to know her place as a woman, and Cecily would come to believe it. For if you spoke out against men, especially with you being a woman, then you were in big trouble. This would make her personality like you have along the lines of sweet, but she'd be a little bit more meek, quiet, wanting to be married for love but knowing there are restrictions that go along with it and that it may not be possible. In a sense, it may also make her very bitter.

In your history, there are some names that need to be capitalized. Also, how did she come to be at Hampton Court? Your history stops before we know why she is at court.

So, just take a look at your app again, and help us to truly know your Cecily, change the history, and we'll take another look! :)

Hello Brandy,

I tweaked her personality a bit. I think it might read a bit better now. Shout if it needs more tweaks. The poor wiki pages are getting a hammering :)

Hi Tasha!

There's one more thing I'd recommend you change. Because the real Cecily was born in 1460, that means all the stuff that happened to her family would still need to happen when it did (ie the Wars of the Roses). We're AU but we didn't change that timeline at all, just the timeline of 1509 onwards. So I'd recommend maybe messing a bit more with her history and making it less close to reality.

Thank you! :)
