Name: Molly DeCrouix
Avatar: Gwen Stefani
Occupation: "Female Companion" - A female companion would be someone who follows the person around with a little datebook, informing them of important notices and times and dates; arranged events and dates for them; does their shopping; and basically assisted them in any situation needed. They would be most likely be employed on a salaried basis, or would be more or less receiving the charity of the family- by doing something to make herself useful.
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance: Molly stands 5’5, an average height for "women" of her age, she has long, usually curled, white-blonde hair with pretty and feminine brown eyes along with a heart-shaped face. She is slender, though with a curvaceous and thin figure and ivory skin; Molly is usually seen wearing something dressy or classy, or something presentable from her small wardrobe handed down to her after her mother's death. The wardrobe she inherited is a small wardrobe, consisting of only three dresses from her mother, these dresses (seeing as she has little time and money) are secretly worn a few times within one week. The clothing consists of a variety of colours and hues and her make-up- well, Molly however rarely has time to wear make-up, and when she does its only to enhance her natural looks such as lipstick or blush for a special occasion. Molly can usually be seen in light-hued clothing with frills, laces, bows and many other girly add-ons; hats and the odd small trinket of cheap jewelry she managed to buy could be seen on her as well.
Now after reading over those last few sentences you'd wonder how on earth, and why on earth would this woman, whom is not wealthy, insist on wearing all these pretty add-ons (Besides sentimental reasons of course)? Well Molly is quite the strong-willed person, in her toddler years and young childhood she was wealthy, then in a suddenly change of events she became what was known as the "middle class". A change like this has taken sixteen years to sink into her head, and even so she feels that she deserves the right to wear whatever she wants, however she wants.
It is disheartening for her to know that there are many people out there, men and women, who believe that no one but the upper class should be wearing nice garments. Equality, it was something her mother had spoken to her a few times before she passed on. Molly doesn't wish to insult anyone, however that often times is the case, but rather she enjoys the vibrant colours and pretty, girlie add-ons that the dresses her mother handed down to her have.
Personality: This female is usually a friendly and dainty person towards others who are known; she enjoys going out into public daily, but only to tease others with her playful attitude and surprisingly equisite attire- Molly does enjoy life to the fullest despite being a female companion to _________. Unpredictable would be a good way to describe her; creative and charming however she can be reserved and only approach someone when she sees the person as being 'worth her time'.
Some of the time Molly however can be a snob, this poor quality of her's has caused her to loose her job twice since moving out of her father's little cottage. But she is confident and quite a drama queen-actress. Molly does however make quite the enthusiastic effort to get to know someone if she sees the need, rarely does she like to associate herself with those who are snobbish as her or rude. Molly is also quite stubborn and impatient when things are going slow or wrong, most individuals like herself are "hot-headed" like that- It was a trait inherited from her father. There is a more playful and almost child-like side to this woman, she enjoys enticing others then running for help when they retaliate in a way she does not like, Molly can be quite the trouble maker while off-duties.
History:
Molly DeCrouix was born in Paris, France on a Sunday morning just before ‘tea time’. As a child she enjoyed the luxuries of middle-upper class residency and had both a loving mother and father, she did have an older brother, his name was Vaughn; however he was often times away and Molly ended up living the lonely yet luxurious life of a single child.
When she was nine years old Molly’s father’s business went bankrupt, and the family then relied on her mother’s small fashion business in order to survive. Molly’s adoration of fashion was something that she inherited from her mother, however it was also the reason she left France. Her father later managed to stable a job in the mailroom to help support the family due to the fact that her mother’s business was not bringing in enough money to support a child and two parents at the time. The family later sold their estate, bought up a smaller, moderate house in the main street of downtown Paris and by the time Molly was fifteen she managed to also secure a small job sewing in a factory, her mother also took up a job alongside her daughter when she normally would go out with her friends for tea and biscuits.
Two years following the family’s financial problem Molly’s mother came down with a severe illness just before Christmas. Molly’s mother passed on seven months later and after her burial Molly and her father moved to Lindeboshire, England. France was full of fashion, full of life and good and bad memories, Molly and her father both understood that remaining in the little house they had lived in while her mother was alive would not be a positive decision on their part. When in England Molly’s father discontinued his job in the mailroom and took up a job down at the mill. Then when Molly was nineteen she moved out of the small cottage-like house that her father had managed to rent out and became a maid to an accountant, then an editor before moving on to where she is now, twenty years old and looking for work as a female companion due to her inability to keep her attitude under control.
Strengths:
- Her charm, hard-working and friendly personality
- Well-rounded abilities and love for cleanliness and organization
- Literacy skills
- Ability to handle impatient or rude people --> at least for the most part.
Weaknesses:
- Immense fear of being alone or outside in the evening hours --> supersticious beliefs in the paranormal.
- Not physically strong, mentally at times yes.
- She has a soft-spot for money.
- Her snobby attitudes, when irritated --> causes her to loose jobs or irritate people whom she would rather not or should not irritate.
- Stubborness- She has a hard time compromising
Weapons: Molly isn't normally a violent person.

Hi! Welcome to the site, and sorry I'm late. This week will be a bit messy that way, cause I'm the only staffer on site... v.v You won't have to wait a whole week though. I'll kick Nauro into popping on later today. Or something...
Ukay. Nice work. Just a little heads up: We are extra strict on young, single, pretty women these days and even harder on educated and/or wealthy ones. They're starting to "overflow" the board, and we do like our variety.
So... a few things:

Dressing above her status will make it hard for her to keep a job as it tends to piss off employers. It's okay for her to have inherited a small wardrobe from her mother (as long as you keep it small - it's likely the mother would have sold most of her wardrobe anyway), but she would have to tone down the "classyness."
| QUOTE |
| Most of the time Molly can be a snob |
Same as above; might make it hard for her to function together with others from her (current) class and work for people of a higher class. Feel very free to keep it, but maybe add it to the weaknesses, and perhaps describe something about how it's affected her social life?

How is that? I only see that she and her father moved to England after her mother died... Am I missing something?

Just a detail, but is there a particular reason why she's had two jobs within one year? Does she get fired easily?
I like her history; it's realistic and sad and yet not the classic horrible tragedy. I also like her weaknesses. Afraid of the paranormal. I think that one is pretty orignal and very likely.

| Occupation: Maid/Personal Attendant perhaps? Is one needed? |
Definitely. You could ask in the RP Discussions board. She could work for the Lindemans (at the castle), at the Theatre, for Lord Wothersham, or maybe at the Townsend Boarding House (they already have one PC-maid, but they probably need more), or any other rich or semi-rich family (Browse the Character Masterlist in the Approved Characters forum). I'm sure someone would love to have you! :)

Thats fine, uhm, I was thinking of bringing in her long lost brother or something- would playing two characters on one account be allowed?

Hehe that's sorta the reason that she lost the first then the second job in the same year.. .___. But she's stubborn therefore she refuses to dress any different as the outfit has a sentimental value. And the wardrobe she has is quite small, like maybe 3 dresses that she secretly rewears in the same week ^^;

I agree and will add it to her weaknesses =)
France is known for its fashion, and fashion reminds her of her mother to of whom she was quite close to.
Also, I edited some of the things you pointed out- how's it look now :)

Ok. Please specify that in the profile (where you talk about her previous jobs and preferably also in the appearance-section.

Okay, I guess this is fine. Please edit it into the appearance section so readers get the jist when they look at your profile and won't have to read this whole thread to understand why I allowed it.
I'm allowing it because you agree for it to be a weakness. The rest of the staff is unavailable at the moment so I'm just making the decision on my own, and that means I'm being nice to you, cause as I mentioned we're really restricting well-dressed literate girls these days.
In other words; I'll approve her after a few edits. Again sorry for the slowness, I promise it's only this week.

Ugh, I'm sorry- I had edited it and my internet died on me. I had thought that I had managed to save it before the internet connection was lost, my bad.
Uhm, I've now readded the snobbish info, the loosing her jobs info aaaand the wardrobe info. =) Hopefully that's everything then. ^^
And that's great! However I won't be bringing him in for a while, if Molly doesn't seem to be getting along here or her roleplays are slow then I'll bring him in to spice things up a bit and get these boards active because.. they're sorta sluggish at the moment .____.;

Well, you still haven't edited in anything about how her dressing above her status makes people dislike her. It's very likely that they'd even despise or hate her, just so you know - especially if she also acts like a snob. It's a big weakness and would mean a lot to both her personality and really also her history. Basically I'd like to see a little more detain in the personality. How is it that she can be charming when "most of the time she's a snob"? She seems too vehement to be a maid - yet another reason for people to dislike her, by the way, because Victorian ideals for women would not accept that. "Hot-headed," stubborn, impatient drama-queens will be... well, yes. Hated. So my point is still: If you want the dressy, spoiled drama-queen you'll have to write about how it affects her that she's despised by most people.
Also, if you wanted her to be personal attendants to someone, it has to be a woman. Men wouldn't have female personal attendants.
Oh and a little thing:

Yep. As I said, that'll just be for this week. We have several people away or without net right now. And my teachers decided to try and see if they could kill me with essays and assignments before Easter.

Yes, sorry x___x Its the first sunny day and the sun's already fried my brains lol
Everything should be fixed now =) And that's alright, it'll give me a chance to create Molly's brother's profile and such. ^^

I suddenly felt musey today and wouldn't mind starting a plot with some of the characters here =)
Uhm, to point out the changes in the profile would be to say that I've basically reread through the entire thing, added a few details, patched up the history and added small things here and there for the appearance and personality.
The changes aren't drastic, but they're enough to make things flow nicely and better. For some reason the changes I had added before weren't being saved, I made sure to read the profile after I changed it so they should be there now. :)

Ok. I will review this character again tomorrow. I'll send you a pm when I have. Again sorry for the slowness.
Edit: Yay for extra time. Okay, here we go:
I like the edits you've made and the elaboration on her history. It all seems more... well-written I guess is the word I'm looking for.

Again, only women have female personal attendants. It is not very likely that a woman would be an accountant and certainly not an editor. Please either change her job-title to "maid" or make the employers ladies.

I agree it is likely that an "only child" from a wealthy family would contain these traits and be stubborn, impatient and unpredictable (as you also describe her) at times. I will let it slide because of her background, but know that this is far from the Victorian ideal of a woman and she will have a hard time being accepted in society for it. No need to change it, really, I'm just reminding you.
About the wardrobe: Three different dresses isn't really that much, but this:

and this:

| frills, laces, bows and many other girly add-ons; hats |
makes it sound... Well, a bit overdone for a maid. And as long as they are above her status it will be a problem for her to be accepted - much like the previous point, only here I'd like you to maybe write a little paragraph about how she deals with it and/or why she does it? You have not said anything about how this affects her. Does it make her sad? Does she not care if she has a hard time finding friends? Is she doing it as some sort of rebellion or protest, or just because she likes pretty things?
Sorry for being hard on the wardrobe, but I know the rest of the staff has strong opinions on that particular point as well. And because of the restrictions, we need to be fair to everyone.
So that paragraph and the maid/employer-thing, and I think you'll have my approval pretty soon. ;) I'm looking forward to seeing her in rp. Hehe, that can get fun.

Alright well I changed the appearance paragraph to explain her dressing reasons- sorry if its again not quite fitting. Uhm, as far as the personal attendant thing goes, I'm not sure if that is the title but the job was almost like someone who followed the person around with a little datebook, informing them of important notices and times and dates, arranged events and dates for them, did their shopping, and basically assisted them in any situation needed.
That sounds sorta like a personal attendant.. hm, lol and I'm guessing personal maid wouldn't work either x____x;

Dammit, I forgot about this. I'm so sorry, I really am. Messy RL.
Hmm.... One occupation for an unmarried upper middle class lady could be that of companion (the occupation of secretary as we know it really came into its own in the early 20th century - look up female companion and see if you find anything there, not smutty). She would do more or less the things you mention. She might be employed on a salaried basis, or she would be more or less receiving the charity of the family - maybe her own - but doing something to make herself useful. So if that's what you want her to be, we can call her that, and I'm ukay with it. :)

That would be a wasp waist, just do you know, and curvaceous in these times means this, especially if you're from a fashionable foreign place.

Women made their own make-up from family recipes in these times, just so as you’re aware. It ought to take you considerable time, as it’s all done by hand.

| Molly can be quite the trouble maker while off-duties. |
That’s fine, of course, as long as you realise that off-duty days will be mainly holy days. People (at least, working-class people) worked way harder in Victorian times than they do today.
Er, and another thing that you’re probably already aware of but just to make sure… if you dress like in the picture, people will think you’re a whore, and you’ll be taken off the streets. It’s full-length skirts, corsets, high necklines, the whole shebang, on Lindebo.
Things that I actually want changed:

Companion instead of maid, and the companion that we are talking about would be companion to a woman. A woman would not be an editor or an accountant. Please change this to reflect that.

Companion now. :) Could you please let us know the name of this woman and what status she will occupy, since she will be your NPC?

I've already allowed it, and a woman could be companion to a man - I asked an expert on the subject. Twice.
Me: "Thank you so much for replying to my mail! I always thought a "companion" worked only for women and that they were sort of the equivalent to a Lady's Maid or a personal attendant."
