| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |

.:Physical Appearance:. Ed is not the tallest man, but he's certainly not the shortest. It probably helps that with Violet at his side, he can stand proud with his head held high. He has short, well-kept brown hair and kind grey eyes with hints of green. He's often seen sporting vests and coats in a darker, more navy blue than most his family.
.:Height:. 5'10"
.:Portrayed by:. Rupert Evans

.:Personality:. Ed is a kind and fair man. Before he might Violet, he was much more reserved and careful. He may even come across cold, but that was only because he thought the only thing that mattered was his duty. Now, that he has Violet, he might not be quite as intuitive as his wife, but he certainly loves playing an active role in his children's lives as much as he can despite his work. He loves playing little pranks on them, having dinner with them each night, and making them feel supported in ways he never was.
.:Skills:. Reading, writing, excellent hunter, pranks (specifically on his family), humor
.:Weaknesses:. Bees, stubbornness, somewhat reserved with his own feelings

.:Occupation:. Viscount

.:History:. Edmund was born out of duty. He knew that. It wasn't that his parents hated each other, but more that their marriage seemed contractual than anything else. He always assumed his own marriage would one day be the same as was the case with most the ton. That was the burden of being the only son. His role was to carry on the Bridgerton name and one day be the viscount.

He never planned on finding a love match. He wasn't even sure he knew what they looked or felt like. His home was full stilted conversations, others hushed, hurried and terse behind closed doors. He was sure his parents cared for *him*, doting on him at the start, but their own relationship felt like it was missing something he couldn't put his finger on.

He went into the marriage market with very little hope. He was cold, closed off and only looking at marriage with his head and not his heart. He was even open to the idea that his parents would find his match for him. It would certainly make it easier and make it feel as though he was finally fulfilling his duty.

Then, he met Violet and everything changed. Time stopped and he felt like he was seeing the world through new eyes. The sky seemed bluer and the vast estates where balls were thrown with so much space to keep them apart felt unbearable. She quickly became the very air he breathed and he hoped to never know a day when that was no longer the case.

After a whirlwind romance, they wed, knowing they would never find a love as great. Soon after, they welcomed child after child, working their way through the alphabet with their names, and Edmund loved each of them dearly, swearing he would show them love the way his parents never did. And, while he was hardest on Anthony, knowing he would one day take over his role as viscount, he loved him all the same and was determined to ensure he too found a love match when he was ready.

However, before their youngest child, Hyacinth was born, after hunting with Anthony, Edmund was stung by a bee while gathering flowers for Violet and died in her arms. Some say they both stopped breathing that day.
