Appearance
Annabelle Parson has black hair tied in a bun, brown eyes, a long lilac dress with polka dot patterns, and a beaded necklace.

Personality
Annabelle is unlike most of the ladies of the house in the sense that she has a fiery personality and isn't afraid to stand up for what she wants. She disapproves of gossip, instead believing that women should make strong friendships, and has many different skills ranging from painting to singing to sewing. She is likely one of the smartest and most accomplished ladies in the sewing circle, but doesn't like to show off.

Your Character
She is one of your character's potential love interests. She treats your character very kindly and looks to her in times of need, such as when she didn't know how to reject Viscount Westonly's proposal. She always is willing to help your character learn the skills she needs to be an accomplished lady of society, and cares very deeply about her. If you choose to pursue her as a love interest, she makes it no secret that she is not romantically fond of men and that the only person she wants to be with is you. Because you cannot publicly marry her, you must enter a marriage of convenience with Mr. Chambers in order to retain Edgewater.

Harry
It is revealed in the third chapter of Book 1 that she was initially bethrothed to your character's half-brother Harry prior to his hunting accident. While the two were best of friends growing up, she reveals to your character that she never felt any romantic feelings towards him. Furthermore, she goes on to tell your character in Book 2 that he was aware of the fact she did not love him, but was still willing to enter a marriage of convience for her sake.

Luke Harper
She and Mr. Harper have always had a good rapport with one another. When he is forced to leave Edgewater in the sixth chapter of Book 2, Annabelle is able to convince her family to hire him on as a manservant.

Prince Hamid
If you choose to pursue Prince Hamid as your love interest, there is more than one occasion that she subtly expresses jealously over your relationship with him. Despite this, the two seem to get along and remain friendly nonetheless.

Viscount Westonly
The Viscount has been interested in Annabelle for quite some time. He first proposed to her a few years ago before meeting his fourth wife, but she was able to reject his advances as she was already bethrothed to Harry. He resumes his pursuit of Annabelle following the death of his fourth wife. Despite the massive gap in age, Annabelle's family does not disapprove of the arrangement due to the fact she has no other prospects. He attempts to propose again at Mr. Marlcaster's card game, but Annabelle refuses him with the help of the main character.
