Elizabeth Stafford

Lady Elizabeth Stafford, 20
-----------------------------
The favorite child of the deceased Duke of Buckingham. The loss has left Elizabeth wilted but still ambitious.

Traits: Submissive, charming, coyly flirtatious, artistic, fearful, womanly, fashionable.
Talents: Dancing, painting and charm, especially on the dance floor.
Other things of importance: She desperately seeks a husband after numerous failed betrothals (her father's fault, not hers.) Currently, she is being courted by Charles Howard, with the intention of marriage. She takes great pride in her Stafford name and is very well-mannered. She loves playing games with men through subtle flirtation; she's a bit of a tease and only lets loose on the dance floor. She is afraid of almost everything, but getting found out for it is her biggest fear, so she masks her fear well as pride and modesty. She if far from modest, however.

Needs:
Female friends who are lady-like but like fun (or 2)
Men to flirt with (preferably of high rank/status)
Someone to dote on her and buy her pretty things (maybe someone older whom she uses to get sparkly presents?)
Someone to blackmail her. PM me if you want this role, and we can plot
A husband (Most likely taken already)

I'd love to plot with you! I'm just not sure what we could do. Catherine's husband was one of the men who will be outing Buckingham's treasonous plot, but Catherine has no idea about it. I think either they'd get along or, well, not.

William Parr would probably enjoy her company but that's all.

I have Henry VIII but I can't think of anything for those two. He'd pretty much hate the Staffords for awhile (obviously not so much Elizabeth and her siblings, but yeah).

Norfolk has the guilt-factor (well, rather he's thinking he should feel guilty) about breaking his courtship of Elizabeth. So he'd like to make it up to her, remain friends and probably arange a marriage for her, especially after her father loses his head. Although she might hate Norfolk for pronuncing the sentence on Bucks.

Edmund is overally the sweetest guy on earth. He'd pity her and maybe try to introduce her to his daughters.

Eustace would also pity her because he's generally a good guy, but I don't know what they could do.

Elizabeth probably will hate the people involved with her father's death (Catherine by association & Norfolk) for a time, but only because it makes her position at court less high. She was always afraid of her father anyway and supports the king. So, if either of them reached out to her, she would actually appreciate that because it would make her feel less alone.

And for marriage, if she does not marry Cecil before her father's death, she will probably turn against him since it was her father's idea for her to marry him, and she would welcome Norfolk's help but be cautious of his intentions.

I think Catherine could probably, after all this goes down, reach out to Elizabeth. Something she would do (surprises for everyone! ha). She'd feel a bit bad for Elizabeth so would purposefully seek her out just to introduce herself, or something of the sort, though I'd assume they'd already have met at some point; maybe some conversation.

Well as already mentioned, Stanley needs a wife and Norfolk would totally will be in on their arrangement...if you still wanted that to happen

Yes! I would love to have Norfolk help her, although she won't be too easy to deal with on that matter, since she is still upset with him. I have to hear back on Cecil, but I think she might be betrothed to Cecil briefly but break it off when her father dies, since Cecil was part of the plot Elizabeth was in the dark about. So Stanley would look pretty attractive to her at that point. Unless she marries Cecil in secret and then hates him forever. Hm, either way.Shae should be back very soon to sort that out for me. Sorry for the delay.

Awesomeness...well whatever goes...but if she's asked Henry for help, I don't think he'd stand by and let her marry Cecil if she didn't want to. Otherwise he won't be happy with Cecil at all XD But it's whatever you and Shae decide, just keep me in the loop if you can so I know what's happening

With Catherine's husband being involved in her father's downfall I think a thread with Elizabeth and Catherine would be interesting, to say the least.

Sorry, I just saw that. Did you still want to do a thread, post Bucks' death? I'd be down.
