SCARS/BIRTHMARKS: Her fingernails have left crescent moon scars faintly across her palms – she has a lifelong habit of sleeping with really tight fists. Her mother used to put gloves on her as a child to try and stop her from marking herself, but it’s a strange habit Mabel has never grown out of.

DISLIKES: Awkward dinners with her parents, family gatherings in general, driving, heights, warm juice, action movies, champagne, forcing herself to stay awake, carrots, sleeping with fists, trying to understand sports, spiders, damaged packages, awkward flirting, oversleeping, yoghurt, velvet, having a purse full of change.
FEARS: heights, intruders (so she sleeps with a bat in reach), spiders.
SECRETS: She’s had her tattoo for two years, but no one has actually seen it besides the tattoo artist and herself.
PERSONALITY: This whimsical Brit is quite the imaginative soul. Mabel is a quirky one who often has her head in the clouds and her nose in one of her notebooks as she scribbles away. She’s feminine, but has a sailor’s mouth that she isn’t about to hide for anyone. Chatty and bold, Mabel is the type to try to make friends with just about anyone, but this bundle of energy isn’t always everyone’s cup of tea. She’s creative, and a little out there; some might even call her weird. She’s optimistic, and definitely one who can see the good in everything when she’s in the right kind of mood – though if she loses her temper it’s wise to run. Mabel is prone to throwing things and really seeing red when she loses her cool. It just explodes from inside her and there’s no stopping her until she’s let it all out. She’s not the type to hide how she feels, so emotional outbursts are fairly common for her. Mabel considers herself a romantic, but she’s a terrible flirt and generally gets rather awkward around anyone she likes.

HOMETOWN: London, England.
HISTORY: Thomas was an accountant who met Victoria at a cocktail party. She worked as a PR agent and somehow her mingling led to her paths crossing with his on that fateful night. They were both incredibly busy people, but that worked for their relationship, and soon they surprised everyone by marrying in a quick, short ceremony and moved into a fancy home in North London. A son followed, and a number of years later, a daughter.

When the children were infants they were primarily cared for by nannies while their parents worked. Once they started school it tended to be a ‘fend for yourself’ situation for the most part. Dinner was prepared by a housekeeper, and intended to be a family affair, but it wasn’t uncommon for one or both of their parents to miss it because of work commitments or phone calls coming in while they were around the table. Their careers were far too important to put on hold even for their kids. Mabel and George were very close, but very different. Mabel was used to the absence of her parents and rather enjoyed the freedom to be in her room and read past her bedtime under her duvet. George, on the other hand, seemed to rebel in the hopes of getting their attention. It rarely worked out the way he wanted it to. His parents simply scolded him, sent him to his room, and then carried on with what they were doing before. He always had Mabel though, and she listened and helped, and often talked him back down from doing something crazy whenever he wanted to act out. She might have been the younger sibling, but she seemed to be the voice of reason for George.

Mabel was something of a dreamer though. Often left to entertain herself she created worlds of her own to escape into and this fuelled her love for writing, scribbling, and generally living in an entirely different way to others. She was very weird to many of her classmates, but at the same time she found it easy to make friends with those around her. Often she had friends in the years above and below her at school, rather than of her own age group. This continued throughout her school life. She made solid grades and did her best to excel in class, but she was always a bit of an eccentric soul. People didn’t always quite know how to take her strange behaviour or energetic personality.

She went off to Cambridge university to study English Literature. Her father had hoped she’d choose something more practical, but there was no swaying Mabel from her love of the written word – or writing for that matter. She wanted to know more, to learn more. Instead he just took solace in the fact that she was going to Cambridge of all places. George, meanwhile, had been ‘disinherited’ – to use Victoria’s term for it. He had gone to the College of London and been kicked out all within the first three months of attending. He had started fights and been found generally causing trouble too many times. His parents gave him another chance, but he blew it; spending money on parties and bad investments with dodgy people. He was thrown out and cut off. Mabel let him crash with her secretly for a spell, but then George moved, said he was going to travel with what he had left and prove their parents wrong about how worthless he was.

He kept in touch throughout Mabel’s university days. He wrote letters frequently and eventually informed her that he had settled in New York with an apartment and a job. He was going into business with a friend he had made during his trip and everything looked like it was going to be smooth sailing. He suggested she come out to visit him sometime, and once Mabel wrapped up her studies and had sat her final exams, she did just that. Only going to New York was about to reveal exactly how much of George’s story was a great big lie.
