Profile: Miss Aphra, is a bit of a wild mare with a penchant for literature and a passion for the theater. She spent some time on the continent spying for her Majestie's government, gaining little by it, but picked up a smattering of French and other continental skills besides. At the end of her continental stay, about nine months, a baby girl, christened Miette, was left in the care of a convent, a typical L'Ecole des filles, to be brought up by the abbess herself as a foundling. Aphra came to us exhausted but with spirit intact and vowed to send for the little girl as soon as she was able.

Profile: Lysander Menace, Lord Foppington is a bit on the delicate side with a weakness for Laudanum infused with crushed, dried beetles. He can frequently be seen hacking attractively into a monogramed hanky of delicate lawn while reading the latest bit of gothic trash from the lending library.
Hermione & Lysander, orphaned twins born within five minutes of eachother, at one time stood to inherit grotesque amounts of money until it was revealed that Old Unkie Roderick had frittered away the family fortune on exotic cheeses and fur coats (he was a bit of a swissophile). Upon their birth, their mother, Lady Foppington, lingered briefly with glistening brow and promptly perished. Young Master inherited the title upon the death of his Father, the Old Lord Foppington, who died of ennui and whiskey. Still, until Young Master and Miss Menace reach maturity at twenty-one, they are in the foster care of Blastmilk Home for Wayward Girls (and one boy).

Profile: The Hon. Hermione Menace is a sullen, independent girl. She'd just as soon paint her toenails green and walk barefoot down Main Street as pen outlines for faux term papers on the phantasmagoric and carnivalesque in eighteenth century literature. She doesn't say much, but when she does, O! The stories she tells! None of them are true, of course. They are wild, hair raising tales of daring-do and blood curdling adventures of young abused heroines with crazed eyes and torn gowns of the palest lawn. But every so often, in the midst of telling her tale, she gets a glisteny wide-eyed look, and you wonder what could take her thoughts so far away. I asked her once and she answered simply, "Cookies."

About: Hermione was ordered at the Los Angeles Sumika on opening day, November 21st 2006, and her headplate reads is #5! While Hermione is not a Sasha clone, or a Sasha stand-in, she believes Sasha could certainly be tolerated, as a distant cousin, or bastard half-sister, but she doesn't want anyone to be so gravely mistaken as to assume that she is in any way second choice to a Sasha.

Profile: Aschenputtel is the stepsister of Ginevra. We found her one morning sitting on the kitchen floor saying hail marys while pointing a vegetable knife at her chest. We're not sure where she came from, neither her nor Ginevra are very forthcoming about their origins, but clearly they had very unhappy beginnings. Strangely, they don't get on much and frequently can be found bickering at the bottom of the garden. Aschenputtel is of very sad countenance, and keeps mostly to herself. One peculariar thing though: she seems to like to preserve dead mice and sew little outfits for them. Hrm.
About: Aschenputtel is so named for a happy weekend we spent in Los Angeles attending the Volks reception and opening day festivities on November 19th & 20th respectively, in 2006. They issued 100 invites to the Reception at the Volks Mansion, and had twenty-one OOAK one-offs available by lottery. I entered for one, a Sweet Dream Nana, whom I have always coveted, and after a few false starts on ticket calling, won the opportunity to buy her. She's dreamy! You can see her original presentation and paperwork here.

Profile: Medora died in 1751 when dropped on her head by a mother who was dead drunk on gin. We don't see her much, but once in while I catch her naughty gaze out from the corner of my eye in a mirror, or when looking through the lens of the camera. I've managed to catch her once or twice, but it is difficult to hold on. She doesn't speak.

Profile: Imogen and Lizzie are sisters. Old time New Orleans creole, they grew up in the Bayou St. John and we invited them to stay with us after they lost their home and family to the floodwaters. The girls are distantly related to Miette, their snooty french cousin twice removed. Imogen is the devil of the two for sure. They give their governess no end of trouble. Once she stole Aschenputtel's dead mouse collection and left them in Miss Alice's linen press. To their delight you could hear the governess' screams echo throughout the house. While Imogen is always scraping knees and stealing figs, she relies on Lizzie to keep her spirits from drifting into morbidity. In the night you can often hear her whimpers from beneath the blankets and sometimes the maid-of-all-work will find the old steel knives that had gone missing from kitchen.

Profile: Lizzie Lou and Imogen are sisters. Old time New Orleans creole, they grew up in the Bayou St. John and we invited them to stay with us after they lost their home and family to the floodwaters. The girls are distantly related to Miette, their snooty french cousin twice removed. Imogen is the devil of the two for sure. They give their governess no end of trouble. Once she stole Aschenputtel's dead mouse collection and left them in Miss Alice's linen press. To their delight you could hear the governess' screams echo throughout the house. On her own, Lizzie is a quiet girl, and more prone to dreaming than pranks. She looks after her sister who is prone to bad thoughts.

Profile: Leopoldina, or Lulu, came to us wrapped in a german candy box. Or rather her picture did. Once we saw her rosey cheeks and long blonde locks we knew she'd have to come stay with us. We gave oodles of money to a bearded man in a long black coat, and a month later she arrived on our doorstep, cap in hand, and every bit as blushing and timid as we had imagined. Back in her hometown of Worms she was kept in a cupboard buy her uncle and fed nothing but beets (for her complexion) and only let out to pose for the a famous illustrator of chocolate boxes. She's growing braver day by day but still weeps silently when offered sweets of any kind.

Profile: Miette is a native of Paris' 18th arrondissement and being such has a bad habit of showing people her panties. Folks often mistake her inate frenchness for hautiness, but she's no more or less bratty than other children her age. Aside from the whole panty-thing, she enjoys stealing ducks, putting kittens in her pockets and taunting her bedmate Lulu with sugar treats until she cries. Her chief point of pride is her direct descendence from the Princesse de Lamballe, whose head was whacked off by an angry mob, thrust on stick and waved in front of the bars of her closest friend Marie Antoinette's prison cell. We don't know why she stays with us, but she won't go.
