Your Character (The Unexpected Heiress)

Your Character in The Unexpected Heiress is the main protagonist of the The Unexpected Heiress series.

Although her default name is "Lillian", the player can choose to name her as they wish.

Appearance
Your character's appearance is customizable to player's preference.

Personality
Although most personality traits are determined by the player - such as being polite or flirty, practicing social graces or speaking one's mind - in general, you enjoy learning and you share that in common with your sister, Amelia. If you had had the choice, you would have continued into higher education but your family was intent on marrying you off because of your gender.

Background
You are the only living daughter of an electric power industrialist, a wealthy American magnate. When your older sister dies, you take it upon yourself to follow through in a marriage arrangement meant to benefit both families - your family's wealth for their family's titles and lands. You are expected to wed on the same day Amelia was meant to, at the end of the summer.

Amelia Hayes
"Although Amelia and I are only half-sisters, and Amelia and my mother aren't related, we're still family. We make our own family."

- Your Character

Amelia was your older half-sister. As you reveal to the Somersets during your first dinner with them, Amelia's mother and father divorced when Amelia was a baby. Eventually, her father remarried your mother and they had you. When your mother died, he then remarried Delia, who bore him two sons. You two were six years apart in age, but thick as thieves.

You two had a tradition of throwing a coin and making a wish whenever you crossed a bridge.

Francis Somerset
As the only remaining unmarried female of your family, you find it your duty to assume your sister's place and become Francis Somerset's new fiancee. When you two meet, you are polite to each other. You see a flare of anger in Francis when you sit down on an ottoman, as it was the place Amelia would often sit and read. John apologizes for him, telling you that Francis has been quite scattered ever since Amelia's death.

John Somerset
John Somerset is the younger adopted brother of Francis, and one of your love interests. You meet him in Chapter 1, accidentally mistaking him for Francis.

Lady Gemma
Lady Gemma is a dowager duchess, cousin of the Somersets, and one of your love interests. You meet her in Chapter 2, when you dine with the viscount and viscountess. You surprise her with your honesty and forwardness, but she finds your personality refreshing.
