History
An English commoner, Gen built her dress shop from the bottom up, becoming the go-to dressmaker within the Ton. In order to gain business, she faked a French accent and was addressed as Madame Delacroix.
A savvy businesswoman, she is aware of bills from various members of the Ton including Featherington's outstanding balance. While Marina Thompson was able to get Gen to make her trousseau by means of blackmail (Miss Thompson is half-French and can tell Gen was faking it), the balance was paid in time for the Featherington daughters to receive new dresses in time for the Hastings Ball.
Outside of business, she is friends with various members in and out of London society, including Siena Rosso, Lucy Granville, and her assistant at the shop Bridget Bishop. During one of Granville’s parties, she started an “friends with benefits” relationship with Benedict Bridgerton, the younger brother of Lord Anthony Bridgerton (who was the former lover of her friend Siena).
