I Have decided to post this here too. I like the idea and would love it in two different settings.
I’m thinking something set in modern times, an arranged marriage happens between a rich man and a young woman of middle-class. The woman hates the man she was forced to marry but slowly comes to love him the more she gets to know him…
Arabella Griggs was born into a decent middle-class family. As the only female in her family of two brothers she was charged with the duty to marry for the betterment of the company. Her father found the son of a rich company owner for her to marry and they were promptly set up.
She hated the man who was now her husband. She couldnt stand him or her father for doing something so unfair towards her… she didn’t care if her father’s company fell through, she wanted to marry for love, not for the company.
So my character is the female she is down below. Character profiles aren’t needed but if you’d like one you may add your character in. And they don’t have to be as detailed.
Name:
Arabella Griggs
Age:
19
Gender:
Female
Sexuality:
Straight
Species:
Human/Caucasian
Powers:
None
Appearance:
Thin, pale, and lanky, Arabella stands at 5’6 in height. Her long facial features include two almond green eyes, a long, pointed nose, and soft, thin lips. Her mid-length, Auburn hair has often led to strange looks and glares. It’s rather short for a female of her standings.
Her small frame is nearly skeletal and she is always sickly, a result of her sheltered life indoors.
General Attire:
For parties she bares the dresses and fabrics of a mid-class lady. Often fitted to Victorian-style dresses and classy outfits.
Her everyday outfit always consists of some sort of business casual attire and has never changed. She is not allowed to wear shorts or other recreational clothings.
Personality:
Strong-willed and easily excitable, Arabella is a doer. She strives to make something of her life before her father can arrange it for her. She is highly energized by social outings but finds business to be boring. She would rather become a painter, but is told by her more traditional father that the idea is silly.
Social Standing:
Middle class. Sure she’s no noble or from an important family but she’s in good standings.
Backstory:
As the first-born daughter of a rising businessman who is found not-so-popular, Arabella is considered the one to change her families fortune and fate by marrying into a rich family. The stress of that upon her drove her away from her father’s wishes. She would rather explore and paint than become the trophy wife to some top businessman.
Her father kept an iron fist and a tight gaze on her childhood, picking and hiring her friends carefully. He set her up for etiquette courses which she aced with flying colors. But it all was dull and boring. She now spends days on end outside, trying to regain her locked up childhood.
Other:
Her father is seeking an arranged marriage for her to benefit his company. She is highly creative and loves the ideas of the mythical and magical creatures that are said to reside in the forests. She wishes to visit it someday.
