Hepzibah Innes-Ker
A bluestocking through and through, Her Grace the Duchess of Roxburghe is considered an eccentric by some, and a disgrace by others. Married to her father’s best friend, who rescued her from a life of obscurity and destitution, she’s never had a lover of any kind, including the man she married. He wishes she would find one, thinks it would make her happy in a way Eppie has never fathomed, but with talents that lie more in the realm of science and medicine than social savvy, it remains to be seen if she shall ever catch the eye of someone she can care about in turn.
Agnes Moody
Site Canon Character
Accountant, thief
25 – 35 · Female
FC: Angel Coulby
College-educated, Agnes “Nanny” Moody is only held back from a successful (lawful) career by her sex. Exceptionally intelligent, particularly with numbers, she’s the head bookkeeper and accountant for the 40 Lambs. Not a single penny is spent or earned by the gang without her being fully aware of it. Only two other people in the gang have more power than her, and even then they would be hard-pressed to continue with such success if something were to happen to Nanny.
