Nina's hips rocked as she walked down the hall with a proud smile on her face. She'd done well for herself today. She nodded to a few other girls who lived in the boarding house, and waved off an offer of tea. She wanted to inspect her goods, and spending time with other ladies right now would risk them hearing something in her skirts clink or clank around. It was safer if she just retired to her room for the night.
Opening her door, she paused for a moment, an ominous feeling touching her. Yet nothing looked out of place, or gave her cause not to go in. Shaking her head, Nina let the feeling go. Poppycock! She was just being paranoid. Stepping into the door, Nina was just pushing the door closed when she felt it . . .
Panic!
It happened so fast that later she still could not recall the details or the events with any clarity. What she did know was there was an arm made of steal, and it pinned her to a chest that seemed to be larger than her door. It too was made of steal--or at least it felt as strong as steal. There was a strong hand, large and unmoving that held a rag to her lips and nose. The smell burned, and she was not sure what it was. She fought. She knew she fought but it did little to move the mountain behind her. She kicked, and failed her arms. She tried to grab the door. She tried . . . she trried to grab . . . she tried . . .

Nina Ashmore might have been born to nothing, but she would not die the same way.
Most of her targets were the richer merchants, bringing in their wares and taking advantage of the poor workers. While it was not illegal, it did lead to some of the children in the home she was raised in having to work in jobs that they should not have too. She herself had seen her friends turned into chimney sweeps, and fires lit under them. Wheel greasers for the wheels that crushed the wheat--and if they did not move quick enough the wheel did not stop for their safety. It was why she liked stealing from these merchants. They did not care about the cost, so she did not care either.
Her coin always went to the children--to keep them from having to work so much--and to herself. She was not completely selfless. She enjoyed the comforts of her life, what little ones were allowed to be afforded to single women. She gave most of it away. Most, but not all. A girl had to eat after all.
Walking down the merchant's row, she paused to smile at a middle aged man, and lean in a little too close without being too scandalous. While he was smiling into her face, her finder slipped a trinket from the table and into a hidden pocket in her skirt. It was a special skirt, made to let things disappear into the fullness of it. Moving to the next one, she pretended to think over two hair ribbons before putting them back. Only when her hand went away there was only one ribbon left here. As she made her way down the row she began collecting tins, costumed jewelry (as no one had the real things here, trinkets, and bobbles from the places the merchants had been and brought back to be sold to the average worker.
Before long she could begin to feel the weight of her skirt, and knew it was time to head back, count up the value, and begin to find ways to sell the goods to make coin. Turning down between a tavern and a bakery she used the short cut to turn back toward her rooms.

.:Name:. Nina Ashmore
.:Nick Name:. None
.:Rank:. Commoner - Lower Class
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Nina has brown hair and pale blue eyes,with a face full of faint freckles. Her clothes are made from sturdy cloth meant to last longer, but in return has sacrificed comfort.
.:Height:. 5 feet 5 inches
.:Portrayed by:. Danielle Galligan
| ~ • ~ | Personality | ~ • ~ |
.:Personality:. Nina is a sly and sharp witted girl. She has a soft place in her heart for orphan children, and uses her skills to help them. This steams from her past as a hungry orphan. This also does not mean Nina is soft. Nina has been shewed in her judgments of people since she was a child. Being forced on her own brought this out.
.:Skills:. Sly, small and fast, slight handed, pretty and knows how to use it.
.:Weaknesses:. Impulsive, emotional, mouthy when stressed
| ~ • ~ | History | ~ • ~ |
.:Birthplace:. Unknown
.:Family:. Unknown
.:Occupation:. Thief (currently) though she has taken other jobs that needed to be doing
.:History:. Nina has no idea where, when, or to whom she was born too. The orphanage who found her on their door step only knew that she came in the night and was a few weeks or months old at the time. They said it was unfortunate that she was pretty, because the pretty ones had more trouble staying out of trouble.--And while she did grow out of her looks and into a muted face, she not grow out of getting into trouble.
While she was not good at fighting, or reading, or math--she was good at knowing people. Knowing how to smile and say something distracting. Knowing when to take something small and how not to get caught . . . Most the time at least. She would eventually be kicked out of the home she was in for stealing. At first she struggled on her own, but soon began doing alright. Enough to afford renting one tiny room in a boarding house. There was a bed, and a bin for clothes, but no room for more.

In episode 1 of season 1, Anthony knocks a frame off the wall when he’s with Siena. The print in the frame says, “Don Giovanni” which is one of Mozart’s most famous operas. The complete Italian title is “Il dissoluto punito, ossia il Don Giovanni,” which translates to “The Rake Don Giovanni Punished.” {source}
(also he likes hair pulling)

It was well known that the parties at this house were both of purpose and of pleasure. Tonight it was both, with a heavy spell of sex and smoke, and opiates in the air. There was some painters in the room at their easels painting the naked flash on display. Tonight, she was one of such things on display.
Her eyes drifted over the young and old alike here to draw her likeness, and it was a vain feeling that they would capture her beauty, and yet an awed feeling of a talent she would never had. Though to be fair they would never hold her voice. Siena wouldn't trade it would the world. She liked being well known for her performance. Well paid--something artist were often now.
Her face was tilted already and she knew she couldn't move much, but she could see a young man almost before her. He reminded her of someone, and she could not place her finger on the notion that she might know him or know of him. "Come here often?" She asked the stranger, while he was drawing her very naked body.

Siena loved singing on stage. She loved everyone watching her. She loved knowing he was watching her. It didn't take her eyes long to find his box and see he was in attendance. She had to fight to keep the smile from her face knowing that she was singing a roman tragedy tonight and smiling was out of the question! Somehow she managed to get through it without a smile. While Siena might never know how she had managed it, she did know that there was a chance he would be at her door tonight. That thrill was enough to make her stay late in hopes that once the ton left the theater, he would find his way to her.
Hearing the knock on her door made her hurry to open it. Once she did, she knew that he was her's for the night. Tomorrow he could go back to being the viscount. Tonight he was her's. Reaching forward with one hand she pulled him into her dressing room, and pushed the door shut with the other. With another hard shove his thighs hit the back of her vanity. There was no need for a greeting. They could say hello later. Right now there was only this. Moving quickly she stepped between his knees and pulled his waist coat toward her, and thus him into her. Her lips bit at his to tell him to open his own lips and kiss her. Her hands moving up his chest to find the buttons of his shirt.

Siena heard a knock at her door, and she knew who had come. Anthony. Pausing for a moment to look in the mirror she tried to quickly fix her face so she didn't look so pale. Pinching her cheeks and walked toward the door, and opened it with. "Good night," she said with a tease, a greeting she often like to use. Since they never could say good morning, it was always good night for a greeting rather then a good bye.
Once he entered she shut the door, and instead of pouncing on him as she normally did, pressing him into the wall or pulling him toward her bed, she hesitated. While nothing had changed--everything had changed. It left her out of sorts and stressed rather then enamored of his presence like she always normally felt.
"Would you like a brandy?" She asked, leading him to the parlor instead of the bedroom. They needed to talk and a stiff drink would do them both good. Sadly, she could not longer indulge in a brandy. However he could, and with what she was about to tell him a drink might help.

A woman in Siena's position had to know whom everyone was. It behooved her to know the peerage as much as she could. Not only because they were good for coin, but because having her name favored with the peers could lead to her getting more and more roles on the stage. Which in turn lead to more coin. It didn't feel as lurid as it sounded when she tried to explain it in her mind. Siena liked it. It worked for her. She enjoyed being who she was, and not having to be told were to go and who to talk too. That didn't mean she wasn't envious of the ladies of the ton. They had a security that she'd never known.
Which was why when she noticed a viscount looking at her, she made sure to pause and stare back. He was young and handsome. Which meant he either had no stamina--or all of it. Grinning at that thought she boldly walk up to him, letting her hips sway as she did. "My lord," she greeted with a slight bow of her head. "You look like you could use some company, and I happen to be great company." She teased. While yes, it was a line, it was also one that rang true for her.
Up close she took in his features, and how his hair didn't quite follow the rules. He features bold without taking over his face. Handsome. He would be fun. She just knew it.

Siena liked this one. The man she was with today did little to rouse her passions, which meant her head and her heart were always clear. He helped funded her career, her clothes, and jewelry. In return she smiled when he spoke, and encouraged him to spend the night often. To which he was more then willing. It was a benefit for them both. He got company, and she made him feel important, while in turn she---damn.
Anthony Bridgerton had just entered the room. For a moment their eyes held and she felt as if she was back on the steps where he told her he missed her. His hand on her belly and his lips in her ear. It had killed her to walk away from that, but she had to put her before him or he would have taken everything from her. Without meaning too, Anthony Bridgerton would have undone her whole life and she'd be left broken heartened. . . . again.
Garrett Lucien, a well off 3rd son, was a safer bet for her life. If he broke things off with her, she wouldn't be devastated. His promises meant nothing to her. He didn't promise the moon and then run to his family. First sons had too much responsibility. She would avoid them for now on.
However . . . She had one flaw in her plan. And his name was Anthony Bridgerton. aannddd he was sitting across from her staring at her with those dark eyes. Siena tried to keep her eyes on the fight, and her mine on Garrett. However the longer Anthony stared at her the harder it was to look away. The weaker her will was becoming at reminding her self to stay away.
And the easier to remember how good it felt. How fun it was. She felt her thighs press from the reminder. Turning her head toward Garrett she wished it was easier to let Anthony go. "I shall return." She told him, making a excuse before turning to walk toward the exit. She didn't look at Bridgerton. If he followed her, then her choice was made. Before she got to the door, she stepped under the wood belchers, and waited to see if he would follow.

There was not many things that phased Siena Rosso. She had lived a life that had taught her to take the unexpected in stride and to know that her fortune rose and and fell with the public's favor when she was on the stage. If they liked her, and the opera, then she did well. If they disliked it . . . . it could lead to her loosing everything she had worked so hard to build.
While she thankfully was out of the public eye in most regards once she was off the stage, there was some unforgivable acts that the ton would 'love'. As in they would love spread the tale, and would love to shun for her it. Such things she never had to worry about . . . . until now . . . .
She was unwed. She was with child. And the father was a noble. Not just a noble, but a higher ranking noble who was very much liked by the ton.
She was sitting on the bed, in the house that Anthony provided for, and lost in thought. He'd come tonight if he could. With Anthony his duty came first, and tonight there was a ball or a celebration or something that the ton's peers decided needed to happen with piles and piles of money thrown into it. She envied them in a way, and wished she could know such a life. However, the reality was that she would never be able too.
Hearing the foot steps of his boots, she sat up and waited for him. She hated that tonight wouldn't be their normal escape from the world. Tonight she'd tell him that she was with child.

.:History:. Siena was raised in the lower class, by a family that wasn't struggling too hard. However with too many mouths to feed she knew she'd be married off. Rather then doing this, she struck out on her own and soon was found for her voice and beauty. She used these to gain jobs and eventually became an opera singer that even the queen herself came to see sing. Her voice filled the halls for the rich and powerful--and she learned then that the men would be willing to share their protection as well as their coins in exchange for her 'time'. All too willing to to make the exchange she soon found herself in a place no mistress should be in--falling for a man she couldn't have. After broken promises she put herself first, and forced herself to move on. It sometimes worked . . .
