I have been thinking about picking up Caroline Penvenen once I read the Poldark books since I...haha. Have a million icons of her already for Katrina. >.>
she's a big I told you so-er, but not in a malicious way, and not when it's like. an adverse situation. Usually when it comes to romance. I TOLD YOU I LOVE YOU don't you rememberrrr
5 - GAMES oh my gosh she loves playing games, playing pretend and going on adventures. That will always get her laughing very merrily. Sometimes a joke, pun, or turn of phrase will catch her off-guard and she'll laugh out loud, too. (See the whole "Haven't I been obvious" conversation)
8 - deep down she wants to be seen as capable, competent, and an equal. But since that isn't achievable in her perception in that time period, being seen as a flirt and intimidating is just as good. :c
17 - Really she's kind of young to have a philosophy, but she does want to live a good life. She thinks that's the best anyone can do is just. Survive, be the best at what they're fated to do.
27 - Being mollified by being told she's beautiful (ie you're too pretty for thinkin') is kind of grating to her. She super dislikes being ignored, dismissed, passed over, brushed aside, etc. Badmouthing one's spouse in public drives her up a wall. Slurping soup.
e9 - Her BEST childhood memory is of Brom teaching her to catch frogs. Obviously her childhood was sort of a lonely one, and marked by fighting from the war, but there were sporadic moments of fun with Brom and other local children that kind of made it not so terrible. In my mind Brom is just a little older, so you have this bigger boy taking her out--
Her worst childhood memory is when an injured soldier was brought into their house, and she was told to help fetch and carry hot water, and be in the room while his leg was amputated.
That's tied with the memories of hiding at Raven Rock during raids, or in the root cellar with her governess while her mother defended the house, and her governess telling her that the Hushman would get her and eat her if she screamed.
Her strongest memory is much more mundane. Sitting in her father's study and listening to him talk with other farmers while she pretended to play with a doll.
