.:History:.

Theodosia married Jonathan Blackwood when she was 18 and he was 27. She had just entered her second season well he had come down from Bristol with the intention of finding a wife. Neither of them thought it would be so easy but the moment that their eyes found each other across the ballroom the rest was history. The daughter of a Baron she did not expect much, thinking likely that she would marry a second son that was given enough land to be a Baron and she his Baroness. Not in her wildest dreams would she have thought that she would marry a Marquess, or that a Marquess would love her. 

Theodosia got the match that all girls dreamed about I love match a man getting on one proclaiming his love for her and getting her happily ever after. However, that happily ever after only lasted 7 years. Jonathan perishing in an unfortunate carriage accident on his way home from a trip to London, and at 25 she was a childless widow. 

Theodosia I tried to produce Jonathan an air during the seven years that they were together landing pregnant five times and losing every single one before they reached 20 weeks, and every single time it was heartbreak. She had been so lucky to marry for love and married well above her station and yet she could not give him the one thing that was expected. Jonathan try to remain positive about the situation feeling that they would have a son one day but that they never came. 

Remaining in the morning for one year was not hard wearing black long after it was expected of her, then continuing to wear the amber necklace even after her year has finished. As Theodosia turn 26 she slowly started to re-enter society taking her new place as the Dowager Marchioness of Bristol. Jonathan left behind no family that she knew of. He was the only child and his father passed when Jonathan was 22 and his mother passing shortly after their marriage. Even if there was family Jonathan left everything to her and his will, since they had no children, which left Theodosia a rare wealthy widow. Being so heartbroken and not raised to manage properties and investments she drew up a contract with her brother to manage her properties and tenants for a cut of the profits. Richard was more than happy to help her sister out while also increasing his own fortune.

Shortly after her husband's funeral, although she did not attend as was customary, she left Bristol to spend her mourning period in their house in London, which is where she plans on staying for this foreseeable future. Her brother being only a few hours away by carriage and living in the bustling heart of the city has been a nice reprieve from the memories that live in Bristol. 

As Thea comes back into society she plans on enjoying her newfound independence as a widow with no plans to remarry and unless a distant cousin showed up the title of Marchioness of Bristol Will die with her,...Unless she remarries and forfeits her property investment money to her new husband. Not thinking herself that lucky to find love twice
