It was through the misfortune of her older sister that her betrothal to her cousin Edward came to be. It was through the misfortune of others that she came into
possession of her own self-proclaimed fortune and treasures. Being the fourth child with a fifth on the way almost directly after her second birthday made her
seemingly invisible to a good portion of her family. Though she was always looked after and her mother and father bestowed upon her as much affection they could manage in between caring for the other children and taking care of their own affairs, it always seemed less than what she needed. Along with the lack of attention she got as the fourth child, she also lacked in opportunities for things such as betrothal, furthered education, and finding talents or refining skills that would help her become the kind of woman that any man would want as a wife. This not only left her starved for attention, but always wanting to partake in things or experiences that would make her stand out or be seen when in the shadow of her elder siblings. By the time she reached the age nine she had come to the realization that if she wanted the attention she craved and longed for, she would have to acquire abilities and strengths that would make her stand out to her family. So she became knowledgeable and seemingly interested in the things her father was interested in. She acquired the strength of a young man and learned much more than many men knew about dogs and hunting. This made her one of her father's favorites, even though she was a female and the fourth and seemingly forgotten child. And even though she had acquired many abilities and outer strength, she was a fool that was too eager to please and could be tricked into thinking herself in love with just a few sweet nothings whispered to her.
But even though she was a favorite among her father and had almost anything she had ever asked for, jealousy still resided and grew within her. This was regarded simply as sibling rivalry by many and even though she didn't explicitly wish death or extreme sickness upon anyone of them, she did however wish for them to come upon misfortunes or grief, not in the extreme sense though, frequently.
When her siblings did come upon misfortunes, she did not receive extreme joy from this, rather a sense of superiority to her siblings. But there was an exception though. It was when it was discovered that her elder sister, Cora, had decided to elope with the son of a simple merchant and therefore broke off the betrothal with Edward. She was 16 and thought her world was ending when she was betrothed Edward, who was just three years younger and 6 inches shorter, was what Augusta heard from her father when commenting about it. This of course brought the family shame and she was barely spoken of openly from there on. It was then decided between the two brothers, Edward's father and Augusta's father, that Edward and Augusta would make a good pair and dually keep the money within the family. It was then, that Augusta met Edward and found this out that she felt joy because of her sister's unfortunate disownment. Edward was nice looking and an inch shorter than Augusta, but she knew that he would grow to surpass her in height.
