Personality:History: Genevieve was born as the second child to a family that would later come to have three children: Two daughters and the youngest, a son. As the daughter of a farmer, she learnt her way around farms and animals at a young enough age, as did her siblings. Thankfully, theirs was a farm that did relatively well, so despite her life not being one of high-class luxury, they were never in want.
Growing up, she often went to market with her mother and had the opportunity to meet, play and interact with other children of the same class, including the children of the smithy, the haberdasher and the several vendors in the area.
Her older sister was married off not too long ago, leaving Genevieve and her brother Théodore as the sole children in the house to take care of their aging parents. Though her brother was granted the farm and shown the ropes from day one, Genevieve found herself with little else to do during the daytime and (occasionally against her strict mother's warning) many visits to the nearby settlements on horseback, and occasionally even beyond.
Prior to receiving the letter, she found herself under the scrutiny and hounding of an older, upper-middle class gentleman who must have found her somewhere and absolutely refused to leave her alone, and even proposed the idea of marriage to her family, who were ecstatic to marry their daughter into a higher class.
Genevieve herself is appalled, nay,
disgusted, by the man and has downright refused to marry him, to the disappointed head-shaking of both her mother and her father. Her brother, however, has not intervened, and fortunately isn't too fond of the man himself.
