This thread is amazing. My Gemini brain needs to read this

Oh IRL I am an embroider, historical sewist and over pandemic got into weavign trim so I would love to be a part of this. Ada, surprisingly loves embroidery and has very fashion forward ideas about how to style it.

Areas of expertise: Fashion especially fashion forward, court fashion and who are the best and most discreet tailors and sewists in Europe. Keeping a Secret, need help and the highest discretion? Ada is a Swiss Bank of people who needs an ear, a loan, a discreet liaison. The Arts, as a patroness of the arts and hostess of private salons that are the talk of scandal in public but are a desired invite in private, Ada knows who is up and coming, who is producing the next big thing and where your attendance and patronage (or lack there of) would have he biggest impact. Class: Nobility (not the first born)

@Eleanor Savery (Hilary) Excellent! Ada is a loyal friend and anyone who would stay with her from childhood must have quite a hearty character.

Oh I could see some colorful conversation between Ada and Theo, while Ada is committed to her philanthropy she is not the least concerned with redeeming her reputation.

An odd duckling thrown out of Oxford you say? You must come for tea at Ada's at some point.

If you need a partner in scandal Ada is here to mix your drink and up the ante!

Ada would love to be a patroness of the Wilde Violet Theatre, any boxes left for a scandalous spinster?

How much trouble and how close does he keep his reputation?
