Our Most Esteemed Cast of Characters

The Hollingsworth Family

Hunter Hollingsworth – Young, and seemingly overly-proud and haughty master of the Degrassi estate, worth 10,000 a year. Even though he is three years younger than Miles, his half-brother, he is very over-protective of him. Being the younger son, Hunter came to his position in an unusual way - through his mother, the sole daughter in a family with a huge estate and fortune that passed to her only son. She had been a childhood friend of Miles's father, and married him several years after Miles's mother passed away.

Miles Hollingsworth – Older half-brother of Hunter. Is master of his own sizeable 5,000 a year income from his mother's side of the family. Is extremely affable and agreeable to all he meets. Hunter views him as far too trusting and is constantly worried that people are taking advantage of him and his generous nature.

Francesca Hollingsworth – twin sister of Hunter and Miles's half sister. Is also very affable and has a significant fortune of her own in form of the dowry her parents provided her with before their deaths. Hunter is extremely protective of her.

Zoe Rivas - cousin to the Hollingsworth family through Miles's deceased mother. Views herself and her family as much better than most around her. Does not like the Hollingsworth brothers giving attention to any other females but her, and can't make up her mind which one of them she will eventually set her cap for. A troublemaker.

Colonel Eli Goldsworthy - 2nd cousin of the Hollingsworth family through Hunter and Francesca's mother. Affable and witty gentleman, if not a bit socially awkward.

The Baker Family

Mr. Archibald Baker - gentleman and father to 4 girls. Thinks the youngest two are ridiculous and silly, but has a soft spot for his two oldest, especially the smart and witty Becky.

Mrs. Daphne Baker - wife of Archibald and mother to 4 girls. Is obsessed with finding them successful matches as she sees this as the only way they will have a happy life.

Rebecca "Becky" Baker – most outspoken of all the Baker girls. Smart, witty, and a little too dependent on first impressions. Is not as popular with men as her sister is due to her more forceful personality. Is fiercely protective of her sweet younger sister, Maya.

Maya Baker – a talented musician renowned across the county, Maya is a sweet, somewhat shy, quiet beauty. Her demeanor and grace makes her one of the most well-admired girls in the area.

Clare Baker - devoutly religious Baker sister. Is almost haughty about her piety which turns others off to her otherwise loyal and devoted personality.

Lola Baker – reckless youngest Baker daughter. Always acts impulsively and without regard for her family or her sisters' reputations.

Friends, Family and Other Acquaintances

Jenna Middleton – Becky's best friend. Shares the same sense of unique humor and is her closest confidante next to Maya.

Lady Pill – Hunter's titled and somewhat ferocious aunt. Is determined to marry him off to her socially awkward daughter Arlene. Is patroness of Mr. Delaurier.

Arlene Pill - Lady Pill's sourly-countenanced daughter. Is a big introvert who often comes across as socially inept. Has been promised to Hunter since they were both infants.

Connor DeLaurier – cousin to the Baker family and eventual inheritor of their entire estate since the Bakers have no direct male heir. Socially inept and has no filter. Is completely besotted with Lady Pill and her patronage of him and his parish.

Drew Torres - has been acquainted with Hunter and his family since childhood, being the son of the Hollingsworth's family steward. An officer in the militia, he is superficially charming and rapidly forms an attachment with most people he meets.
