Relationships
Your Character
As soon as you meet her upon entering Mr. Sinclaire's London townhouse, she looks down upon you being the Earl's natural daughter. If you choose to wear any premium dresses during the season, she will be jealous and either mutter a compliment or try to criticize it (the second usually embarrasses herself in front of your grandmother). If you decide to purchase items to make you an Accomplished Lady, she will be jealous every time you show your talents. If you do not purchase all the items, she is given the accolades as the accomplished lady at Duke Richards's ball, beating you with her skills. In Chapter 15, you may be able to sway her feelings over her respect for your father, even though she personally doesn't like you.
Ernest Sinclaire
At your debut, you find Miss Holloway trying her best to monopolize Mr. Sinclaire's attention. When she tries to belittle you, he defends you to her surprise. He doesn't like pretension. When dinner is called, she tries to stand next to him as entrance is determined by title and rank. No matter who you chose to marry at the end of Book 1, in Chapter 1 of Book 2 you are able to overhear that she is glad that following your engagement to Duke Richards, Mr. Sinclaire is now available for her.
Edmund Marlcaster
During a game of cards hosted by your grandmother at the Earl's London townhouse, Mr. Marlcaster attempts to flatter and flirt with her despite the fact that he is engaged to Miss Sutton. This leads Miss Parsons and you to assume that his mother, Henrietta Foredale, pressured him in the hopes of finding a better match.
