.:Physical Appearance:.   Caroline has developed into a fair young woman, albeit a bit too short in stature. She spends ages on her appearance, and is always sure to be wearing the latest fashions. Every night she ties her hair into numerous curls for the morning after. Her maid Anne is very well versed in the best, newest trends and is not afraid to add her own twists. Caroline trusts her decisions with her life, as by herself she would be hopeless. Her fine hair is blonde and difficult to manage without help. The slightest hint of moisture can destroy any decent hairstyle if it isn’t pinned down every which way. For this reason, she stays inside, unintentionally maintaining an especially pale completion. Without her parasol, a brief promenade risks a sunburn without intervention.

Though Caroline looks like her mother in many ways, her deep brown eyes are attributed to her father. She keeps herself composed and is rarely seen feeling too excitable. Her mother spent a lot of time educating her on the art of etiquette, giving her good posture—so long as her mother is watching. Even her reserved emotional state can give way under the right circumstances; usually a lack of supervision.

.:Personality:. Caroline has not spent a lot of time in London, but she has spent her life preparing for it. After being born being multiple boys, she knew from a very young age that becoming a bride was the only way she would ever gain any meaning, or power. Despite fortunate means, she’s always been insecure about her wealth. If she couldn’t fix her frizzy hair, or lose weight she would be stuck with a man of low means or a few extra decades of experience. Needless to say it has been an effective, but emotionally draining motivator. Because of this, she is unintentionally judgemental and more than a little tuned into the situation around her. She has an ear for gossip, which has always pooled in during the lunch parties her mother would throw during the summer months.

She is very excited to be facing her first season, after so many years of preparation and playing to her strengths she is ready. Unfortunately, the competitive nature she’s been trained to have has made the process twist her into a mess of sharp emotions constantly threatening to shatter her mask of poise. Jealousy is a new and volatile companion, but Caroline has never had a truly bad intention. She is kind hearted, but still—she is not known for thinking first when matters of the heart are concerned.

.:Birthplace:. Lancaster, England
.:Family:. Lord Philip Seymour, Earl of Lancaster & Lady Elizabeth Seymour
.:Occupation:. Unemployed, Future Wife and Mother
.:History:.  Caroline grew up on a beautiful estate surrounded by family. She lived with her mother, father, three older brothers and her grandparents. Later joined by another brother, and a family dog. It was a charmed life, with plenty of time to play in the beautiful gardens and woodland around their estate. Had it not been for the constant, unyielding pressure to conform into the mold of an ideal match, the childhood would have been the picture of perfection. Of course, few have an entirely flawless childhood. It would make for a hopeless idealist in the future with a very romantic vision of what a happy household is. Still, she wouldn’t change her past for the world. Her teenage years were when things began to get more difficult.

To motivate Caroline, her mother brought her to visit multiple cousins and family friends who lived without husbands or children. It was an effective way to scare her into compliance and put an end to her innocent childish years. All of the children received a good education with a shrewd faced tutor who saw them four days a week. While her brothers played outside, eventually hunting and gallivanting, Caroline spent extra time learning the arts of household management and etiquette. She was trained to find a husband and never felt as though she was doing enough to better herself, or make that happen. Over time, she developed nervous ticks that grew more insistent over time. She would chew her nails, pick at her skin or hangnails, only stopped by a quick slap on the hand from her mother. Knowing that her uncontrollable habits were unattractive only made her grow more anxious.

At the age of fifteen she lost both of her grandparents, which forever altered the air in the home. Instead of joy from her carefree brothers, her at times proud mother and her optimist of a father, there was a new silence. It was a difficult year, but one that had been delayed for over a decade—which she would hear many times over the next three years. Her mother only grew more demanding as her debut came closer, which surely did not help. Before her debut, Caroline was cursed with nervous hives that only got worse. It was a great disappointment and has soured the season. Her brothers are finding brides, but her mother has crushed Caroline’s confidence. They delayed her debut for a year due to the unfortunate breakout. This enraged her mother, and by affiliation it upset her father too. In a home ramped up with toxicity, she's learned to be rather judgemental for the sake of her own image. She isn't proud of it, but it's a subconscious trait. Where there were once family games and laughs, there is gossip pouring from smug, sneering lips. She isn't the naive, wide eyed girl that stared at the oncoming moment with horror. This year she's far more prepared.
