About

I'm Chelsey, US-based, somewhat older than 34 but younger than 42. They/she, semi-funny, changeling, spoonie, freelancer, obsessive.

As a disclaimer, it can take me a long time to write back to posts and I may not always have the social energy to reach out individually when that's the case. Always know though that I'm comin' back atcha as soon as I can, and I try to make every reply worth the wait, whether it's a few hours or a few ... months. ♥

Current Characters

- Amira Andrews-St. Clair Al-Rashid, also known as Alice Johnson-Riley; late 30s, highly intelligent and vaguely manipulative antiquities dealer of mixed lineage. May or may not have murdered her husband. May or may not be falling for an Earl.

- Bran O'Donnell; early 30s, Irish immigrant, best damn tailor in the East End, when he's not all broken and bruised (or maybe moreso). Stitches up other broken souls in his spare time. Collector of buttons and lost things.

- Euphemia "Effie" Pembroke; late 20s, British anatomist, lecturer, medical illustrator. Awkward for days. May or may not be writing about you in her journal right now.

- Lord Isaiah Denham, His Right Honourable Bastard Baron of the Vale; early 30s, this Welsh criminal barrister knows how to push all the right buttons in and out of Whitehall (and the city's many gambling dens). A bone to pick with anyone who puts on airs, he fights the system he was born into from within.

- Skye McDaniels, AKA Mistress Moth; early 30s, Irish immigrant who runs the Back Church Boarding House in Whitechapel (out of which she operates the discreet gaming rooms and BDSM club known as the Moth & Lantern).

Upcoming Characters

1. Geneviève Lambert
Once a promising ballerina from silk merchants in Lyons, a scandal in Paris forced her to retreat from the spotlight. Resurfacing a year later and a decade wiser, she assumes a new stage name and joins the Royal Italian Opera as part of its corps de ballet; a graceful step down, but she is unwilling to let it stop her from climbing her way back to the top.

2.
An eccentric young woman with a fond interest in zoology who spends her days avoiding the call of marriage and her nights writing operas involving animals of fact and fantasy.
