Enchanted to meet you (Paul Lahote X OC)

“Shhh.” Amelia shushed her little sister Evelyn as she tip-toed down the staircase leading to the foyer. Both girls stopped before the last step, hiding behind the wall which separated them from their expected guest—well their parents expected guests.

Amelia and Evelyn were the two daughters of head of the north American coven. Well, their mother was head of the coven, their father was Fae; a simple mythical creature known mainly for their connection with nature and healing magic. It was common for Fae and witches to mingle amongst one another, as witches channeled the powers of nature for their spells and potions; much like the Fae. Procreation between the two species was a special rarity, most Fae never made romantic or sexual connections as there was no real need. You see, Fae is not made through conventional means.

If you’ve ever been out in nature, in a secluded spot where it almost seems untouched by humanity, you feel the sudden sense of calmness rushing over you. The sun seems to illuminate the world around you in a blanket of warmth and bliss, and it feels as if in that moment everything is perfect; that means a Fae was probably just born near you. The Fae believes that mother nature carefully crafts each and every Fae, their bodies created from the earth itself, and then she releases them to live their lives and protect her earth. Other species have different theories on how the Fae came to be, but no one can say with complete certainty.

This seeming species wide asexuality is why it causes everyone a shock when a Fae bares a child physically, and to do so with not only a witch but one of the most powerful witches in existence? The leader of the North American Coven? Now that creates two very interesting girls.

Amelia Boleyn is an 18-year-old halfling, those halves being part witch and Fae. She stands on the shorter side, just under 5’3—however if anyone ever called her anything less than 5’3 she’d make sure to put them in their place. She cropped her hair just above her shoulders with some rusty kitchen scissors during a slightly tipsy night she shared with her sister. Her skin was naturally on the tanner side, resembling her father’s coloring of curly dark hair and tan skin, more so than her mother’s red hair, pale skin, and green eyes. She came into her powers when she was 13 years of age, although she showed much promise with her witchcraft already being a fourth level spell caster. She much preferred dabbling in the simple powers of her father, a stereotypical daddy’s girl. She would much rather go out into the woods, lay in a field, and connect with nature rather than sit at home and stare at old grimoires.

Her sister Evelyn, however, is the opposite. She is 16 and also a halfling, her skin only a shade or two darker than her mothers, she also had her mother’s straight auburn hair and sparkling green eyes. She was also one who could spend hours sitting in her room, reading her ancestors grimoires and attempting to learn to cast new and more advanced spells, already dabbling the same level as her older sisters, but severely struggling with any Fae related magic.

The two girls are very possibly going to become two of the strongest women alive, and here they were huddled together behind a flimsy wooden wall, straining to eavesdrop on their parents’ conversation. Amelia and Evelyn both shared worried looks as they heard multiple heavy footsteps walking into the house. Their father Aeon had told them of the recent killings of magic folk in the area, forbidding them from going out alone even for the most insignificant of tasks. Whoever was responsible for the killings was targeting young adults and teens, and although they have yet to kill a Fae child or witch child, the matter needed to be dealt with.

As far as anyone could tell, going off the bodies of the victims, the killer was a vampire. Incredibly fast, and efficient killers, but not known to go after other supernatural’s. Something was brewing, and Jenny and Aeon Boleyn had made the decision to call in the only supernatural’s who were properly equipped to deal with a vampire, wolf shifters.

Amelia and Evelyn were fascinated when their father explained who was coming, and why they had to keep their distance. The northwestern shifters were notorious for being big, burly brutes with wicked tempers. Tales of the smallest disagreement turning into massive fights involving clashing canines spread like wildfire when they seemingly reappeared a few years back after being presumed extinct. To the girls, however, this made them a group of very fascinating subjects to poke and prod at—youthful stupidity mixed with curiosity.

Amelia leaned closer to the edge of doorway as she heard a somehow quiet, yet booming voice start to speak. “Aeon it’s been too long.” A small pause filled with the sound of scuffing shoes and a door closing, “I only wish this meeting was under better circumstances.” The same voice spoke again, sounding sympathetic.

“It’s so nice to see you, Sam.” Their mother’s sweet voice greeted, “It’s so nice to see all of you. Though, I do see a few new faces. Please everyone come inside and sit down I’m sure your journey has been very tiring.” Multiple deep voices muttered hellos, and then heavy footsteps followed the woman into the small living room.

Most of the men opted to sit on the grown, allowing Sam their pack alpha to sit on the couch with Jen and Aeon. They all trusted Sam when he said the couple could be trusted, perhaps it was the wolf in them that made them skeptical of the unknown but regardless of the reason, no one but Sam wanted to be too close to the two.

The two girls waited on the stairs for a few minutes, trying to strain and hear what was being said, but all they could pick up on was the low mumbling of conversation. “You think we should try to get closer?” Evelyn whispered into her older sister’s ear, her heart thrumming quickly with excitement.

Amelia considered for a moment, weighing if the risk of getting caught was worth satiating her curiosity, in the end the latter won. “Yes, but don’t make any noise. I so do not want to hear the lecture from mom and dad if they catch us snooping.”

Unbeknownst to the pair, the shifters had exceptional hearing and all of them had picked up on the quiet encounter a few yards away. Sam simply ignored the two girls, seeing no real threat in them eavesdropping, Quill, Embry, Seth, Collin, Brady, and Paul all shared sly smirks to one another—not so subtly glancing at the small door way as gentle and slow footstep inched forward.

“You should take a peek—see what they look like! “Evelyn urged faintly, Nudging her sister with her arm. “Why me? So, I’m the one who gets caught?” Amelia shot a pointed glare towards her younger, yet taller sister. “Yes! Now look, Mom said werewolves were usually all ruggedly handsome! Maybe the same applies for shifters.” Evelyn had a wicked smirk on her mouth as she envisioned a group of big burly men fresh for the pickings waiting in her living room—those teenage hormones surging through her body at the prospect.

“That’s gross, Eve.” Amelia sighed, rolling her eyes, “But I’ll do it… not because you said they were hot though.” The two sisters shared a mischievous look together, before Amelia crouched down to knee level and carefully leaned past the doorway, bracing herself on the wall so as not to fall and peering into the living room.

A not so silent profanity left her lips as her eyes met six other pairs of eyes looking directly back at her. In her shock her grip slipped on the door frame, and she tumbled into full view of everyone—including her parents. Evelyn silently died of laughter still hidden behind the wall, before quickly making her escape back up the stairs, abandoning her sister to the wolves.

“Uh—Hi!” Amelia chirper, looking around at the men in her living room, very purposely not making eye contact with her parents. “I just… uhm” Evelyn quickly looked around the floor around her, a somewhat stupid plan popping her head, but hell it was her only idea. She reached forward and grabbed a lost pen from the floor and held it up swinging it in the air. “Was just lookin for this!” As her eyes travelled back up to the unknown men, the pen almost fell from her hands.

Amelia thought it was just due to the surprise of meeting eyes with—in her opinion—the most attractive man in the room. Paul, however, felt as if he was cemented in his place, sitting on an old Abrash rug in a run-down but quaint little cottage, looking into a pair of beautiful dark eyes. A gentle click in his brain, and he knew what this feeling was, this feeling as if he had just taken off a filter from his eyes and he was finally seeing clearly. Her confused face tempting him to come closer, and to never leave. His imprint.

Everyone but Amelia could feel the shift in the air, Jen Boleyn silently screaming in her head as it dawned on her. Her precious eldest daughter being imprinted upon by a shifter? A breed who was made to kill and slaughter their enemies without a moment of remorse, she opened her mouth to speak but no words would leave her lips.

Amelia looked around at all the shocked and speechless faces, assuming this was caused solely by her interruption, her face reddened, and she quickly stood up, ignoring the slight ache in her hips where she landed. “I’m just going to go, it was nice—uh—meeting all of you!” She smiled before quickly making her exit and running up the stairs.

Amelia threw herself into her room and hopped up onto her bed. She knew she was in for it but she silently prayed to mother nature that her parents wouldn’t be too pissed about the interruption—a pointless prayer and she knew it. Remaining under her covers she shimmied off her jeans and bra and turned over towards her window. Listening to the now significantly louder voices downstairs speak and watching the pale blue clouds pass by the full moon outside. She laid there for what felt like hours, but in reality, was only thirty minutes, waiting for her parents’ lecture to come—but it never did. Instead, she was slowly lulled into one of the deepest slumbers she had in a very long time, strangely plagued by the sight of those deep brown eyes of one of the very handsome but strange young man.

September on Broadway Day 21: SIX

Since I was on the girl’s swim team in high school two years ago, I decided to draw six of my teammates as the six ex-wives of King Henry the 8th: Amelia as Catherine of Aragon, Emma as Anne Boleyn, Alexandra S. as Jane Seymour, Madison as Anna of Cleves, Alexandra K. as Katherine Howard and Arielle as Catherine Parr.

-Bonus-

Happy Broppy Day!

[redladydeath]

based on your recent posts, if you had to make a Six cast using only non-standard hairstyles, what would the cast be?

Aragon - Zara or Cassy Boleyn - Hazel or Princess Seymour - Amy or Monique Cleves - Zara (post-reopening) or Lexi (UKT1) Howard - Tsemaye or Rebecca or Aimie/Vicki/Sam/Courtney M&C/Mallory Parr - Amelia or Anna/Nicole

[lightleckrereins]

Unpopular opinion: Parr's standard hairdo now looks really odd. I get why they do it for curly hair but the only time it really worked was for Maiya.

I do love Vidya's hairdo with plaits and spikes poking through though and I wish they'd do that more

I don't think it only fit Maiya, but it is definitely not for everyone. What I think is that it is a hard hairstyle to adapt for different queens, and that when done well it can look really nice. But can also look not great in some cases

If you look at Aragon, Boleyn (in the UK and cruises mostly), Seymour and Cleves, they always have the same hairstyle concept but with different execution.

Aragon is always short and curly, but with is always a different hair texture matching the queen's hair, different volume, some have blonde some don't, some are slightly longer, some have braids, some are just pulled back. But all are recognisable as Aragon.

Boleyn always has spacebuns. Outside of the US the lenght and texture match the queen's and then you have some really cool takes like L'oreal's curls and Princess' braids. In the US the hair in most cases is made to look like their hair if it was straightened and always reaches mid back (with the exception of Nicole and Leandra). Still spacebuns.

Seymour is mid back hair pulled back. Some are curls, some are straight, in the UK they generally curl it and still do the beehive, US is favoring sideparts and braids recently. They all have the same general vibe.

Cleves is an updo with the crown on the sides, braids, twists, locs, curls, long in the back, very styled or a little looser, tall or short. Everyone has the same base look.

The thing with Parr is that the curly side ponytail doesn't work for everyone as different hair types, general looks and interpretation will lead to very different results that don't necessarily keep that iconic silhouette in the same way Aragon or Cleves do. Then there is the "secondary" low ponytail style that (when its actually used) covers most queens for whom the side ponytail wouldn't work, but it might look too different from the original style.

Roxanne gives us a great example actually. Her alt Parr hairstyle was a version of the side curls and it worked for her and looked nice (specially at the top of the show before it deflated). But her principal hairstyle is a major glowup. Compliments her face shape better and (from what I've heard) the softer look matches her performance. So yes one was the iconic Parr hairstyle but the other works better for her.

On the other hand you have queens that get the side ponytail but not in a custom style for them which usually makes it look like too much (mostly cruises) or not enough (US).

Take Amelia. For Breakaway 1.0 she wore a ponytail that looked great on her but doesn't fully read as Parr. For Breakaway 2.0 she got the side ponytail and at first it looked weird. Too big, too on the front, and the way the hair was styled looked bulky. Later she either got a different wig or it got restyled; a smaller ponytail, softer curls that resemble her hair, and a more sleek styling. It worked really well for hair. The same thing happens all the time with cruise Parrs where they do get a "standard" side ponytail style but a lot of the time it looks like there was some customization but not enough thought was put into the look as a whole so it ends up looking anywhere between a little off to too big on them.

Until very recently most of the US Parrs with curly hair got the very simmilar types of curl in the same size and placement. I do get the advantages of standarization, but compared to the UK Parrs with simmilar styles who have different curl types, different volume and height and different placement. Or the most recent Broadway wigs; Taylor has gone through a couple versions now but the side swept long curls still have the Parr look while being custom for her and Kristina with a very standard side ponytail that has her natural loose curls. Those details make the wigs look like it is their own hair up in a ponytail and in my opinion that is what makes the style work. (Some of my favorites come from this UK style)

As for the not side Parr hairstyles you are right on that the style Vidya and Courtney have is great, but there are also a few other solutions that I really like. The UK alts updo/ponytail, Gabriela's side low ponytail, the almost curly bangs looking style Kelsee and Erin have, Madeline's almost mohawk, Sydney's side ponytail almost to the back, Keirsten's locs and crown on the left side to fit the way she usually wears her hair, Taylor's not ponytail with hair loose on the back.

And then you get the styles that don't feel right: Jen's ponytail, Natalie's curls (tbh I think she should get Gabriela's style), Grace's updo with straight hair, both of Ellie's (first would work well but the crown was a little too much), Erin's early tiny ponytail, Taylor Pearlstein's too small one, Cherelle's long braid, the AUS low ponytails. Not necessarily looks bad but there is a ton of missed potential in there

If I had to choose I would do a concept; just like Aragon is short and curly. Do left and volume for Parr. Keeps the basic style anytime it works, but doesn't make it the thing, and allows for low ponytails or side curls (or braids or locs), or slightly different variations. But still keeping the same basic concept

Amelia Atherton Q&A

@/broadwayworks on Instagram, 27 January 2024

Some other questions that were asked:

Q: Where are you from? A: So I'm from a place called Bolton which is in North of England near Manchester, which is probably the biggest city nearby. Uh, but I actually live in London now.

Q: Have you met queens from other companies of Six? A: I've been fortunate enough to meet quite a few of the other lovely queens from Six. Uh, the ones I know best and love very dearly are, ehrm, my good friend Maiya Quansah-Breed who played Parr in the original West End cast, we had sixth form college together. Um, my wonderful, wonderful friend Monique (Ashe-Palmer) who was alternate Aragon/Cleves on the West End last year. I also know Harriet (Caplan-Dean) who was super swing on the tour and has played many many times on the West End - we also went to college together - and my god friend Scarlet (Gabriel) who played Cleves, ehrm, on the ship, and also Ellie (Eloise) Lord, my current Parr sister who just finished. Ehrm, we auditioned together this time. So we got the job at the same time which was so nice.

Q: Your fave alternate costume? A: I always wanted to be… on the tour in the orange - I think it was the alternate Seymour and Parr costume that they had on the UK Tour. I've wanted those orange trousers so badly. Orange, 100% for me.

Q: Who's a past/present queen who has inspired you? A: I have already loaded answer for this question. So I've always thought myself as an Aragon or a Cleves, until I saw Danielle Steers play Parr. And then I was like wait… maybe that's me. So yeah. Danielle Steers is my inspo 100%, ehrm, and lot of things she does like the Cher show too, like, sigh that would be a dream-dream-dream of mine. But yeah. So Danielle Steers is my biggest Parr inspo for sure.

Q: How many times has Izzy been on? Izzy (Formby-Jackson): Hello! Ehrm, so I've actually only been on four times because I did - I swing on for Boleyn, and obviously that was two shows - and then I did my debut as Howard for two shows too! So I've only actually done four! But yeah, there'll be some more to come, so… that's exciting!

Q: Is your wig your natural hair colour? A: Kind of… kind of not. Like, my natural hair is like, dark blonde. But I dye it. I've had like every hair colour under the sun, I've had red, black. This colour here is probably the closest to my natural that I've had in a long time. But yeah, ehrm, they asked me how I felt like being, like, a more blonde Parr and I said "I would love it" because basically we've got no other, like, blonde queens in the cast. So yeah, it's cool, and I like it. It's something different, and I like that it's unique.

Q: Why are the cruise contracts so small? A: So the answer to this question is actually that we're the final cruise cast of Six, which is why our contract was only four months long rather than the usual Six-month contract. Ehrm, they're also shroter than the land contract just because of laws to do with how long you can be on a ship for, how long you can be signed on as crew member. Also things like getting a visa for being in the US and working the US from - we're from the UK. That's why they're slightly shorter. But yeah, ours is particularly short this time around because we're the final cruise cast, which is crazy! But I also feel very fortunate to have that. Yeah! It's really cool.

Q: What songs did you sing for the audition? A: So, most of the times I've auditioned for the show it's just been shows from the show. Erhm, but the first time I auditioned I saw Wings by Little Mix and Best Thing I Never Had by Beyonce.

Q: What other queen would you be if you had the choice? Amelia: I've got a special guest! The face of BroadwayWorks… Sarah's here! Sarah (McFarlane): Hello! Amelia: Sarah plays Howard, and, yeah, we're gonna answer this question together because we just found out… Sarah: We have the same answer! Amelia: And what is that answer? Sarah: Seymoo! Amelia: Seymoo! Sarah: I wanna be Seymour! Amelia: Yeah, so would I, and I said earlie, I was like - "oh, maybe Aragon"… then Izzy was like, "what about Seymour?" and I was like, wait… yeah… Sarah: Well, I think I'd like choose Seymour or- or Parr, my other rehearsal swing covers Amelia: Yeah, I'd like to see you do both of them. Yeah, so I'd like to do Seymoo.

Q: Any on-stage mishaps? Sarah: Oh, we've got plenty. I - obviously, as you know, my song is 45-million years long, and there's lots of lyrics, and there's been a few occasions where I get in my little head, and I mess them up! And on the Henry verse, instead of singing "tall, large, Henry the Eighth", I sang "serious, tall and large…" and so no one knew who Henry was 'cause I didn't say his name! Amelia: It was very funny. And I was trying to keep a straight face, like this - purses her lips tightly to one side Sarah: I was like - gasp no! He's no the supreme head of the church of England I guess. Amelia: And mine was when I went to say "hashtag no Catholics"… I said "hashtag big Catholics… hashtag biiiig dowry"… BIG Catholics, BIGGER dowry- Sarah: Which is funny, because I'm- I am Amalia of Cleves, and I'm Irish, so. Amelia: Yeah! Sarah: Call me a big Catholic. Amelia: She's a big Catholic right there.

Q: If you weren't a performer, what would you be doing professionally? Amelia: Special guest Gabbi Mack! Aragon is here! And she's gonna answer a question? Gabbi: [reads question] If think I would be a librarian. Amelia: What? That's so cute! Gabbi: To do research and I like to look at… well, I like to look at picture books. Both: [laughing] Gabbi: But I think I would be a librarian. Amelia: That's so cute… oh my god! Gabbi: What would you do? Amelia: My obvious answer is to be a teacher, but I actually don't think these days that I can do that.

Q: Fave thing about being in Six? Amelia: Special guest unlocked! Janice (Rijssel) is here! [chuckle from Janice] Janice is gonna answer this question. Janice: So my favourite thing about being in Six is being called queen all day every day- [loud laughter] Amelia: And it's so true! 'Cause every week people are like, "hi queen! hi queen!" Janice: They don't even know my name, they say just, "oh hey queen, queen queen! Amelia: Yeah, we love that!

Q: Can you show us Boleyn and ask her what her favourite part of her costume is? Amelia: Okay, here she is, best for last! Hello! Lorren (Santo-Quinn): Hey! Amelia: What's your favourite part of your costume, Lorren? I love my wig and my hoops. Yeah. I love a good accessory. Amelia: Yes, good choice!

Enchanted to meet you (Paul Lahote X OC) Part 2

Note: Hey guys this is just a quick little chapter but I assure you all I will be posting another very quickly Word Count: 856

Aeon and Jen laid in bed most of the night, after their daughter had interrupted the meeting with the shifters, things ended quickly afterwards. To most people, the change in the atmosphere would’ve been almost undetectable, however both Aeon and Jen were magic users and could feel like slight shimmer in the room as their eldest daughter Amelia made eye contact with one of the shifters, Paul Lahote. They both were very familiar with the wolf shifters lore, and very aware of the imprinting bond that had an unbreakable hold on them. Aeon had very swiftly ushered the pack towards the basement where they had set up a temporary guest bedroom situation for them—while Jen stayed sat on the couch. Complete and Utter Rage barely remaining contained.

“I don’t know how you can be so okay with this.” Jen gritted through her teeth, casting a sideways glare at the side of her husband’s head. His face was smooth and serene, if it had anyone else gazing upon him, they would’ve assumed him to be asleep; however, she knew better.

“You know, just as I do, that we are no match against fate, My dear.” His tone didn’t portray any emotion as he spoke, which made Jen’s blood boil.

“This isn’t her fate, Aeon.” She propped herself up on her elbow as she turned to fully face him, “Amelia is supposed to take over the Coven, not fall into some story-tale romance with a shifter of all people! We both know just how unruly and short tempered the shifters can be, and you’re just going to sit back and accept it?”

“My love,” He began opening his eyes to meet hers, “You know that I love you and the girls more than anything else in this entire realm. If I genuinely believed he posed some danger, of course I would be concerned. I do not mean to offend you my dear, but I fear you may be judging them a little too swiftly. Yes, the shifters are a formidable enemy, however only if you make them the enemy. The same wolf blood that causes their short tempers is also the same blood that makes them fiercely loyal and protective of those around them. You have also not seen them in battle, I have. Those few years ago when I was called upon to witness for the Cullens, I saw two wolf packs, fighting alongside each other all to protect the imprint of one of the wolves.” Aeon paused to look into the eyes of his wife and could tell the flame of her worry and anger had not been extinguished. “What else is troubling your mind?” He reached out gently, tracing the side of her face moonlit face.

“I just…” She breathed out, leaning into the loving touch of her husband, “She has barely lived, Aeon. Now, she’s supposed to go run off to Vegas and get married? How will she know this is what she wants?”

Aeon let out a breathy laugh. “No, my sweet, sweet, Jenny, I think you misunderstand the imprint bond.” The corners of his mouth tug into a small smile as he sees the look of confusion spread across her features. “Yes, the young man that is sleeping in our basement this very second, could possibly become the future lover of our daughter. That, however, is not for certain. All we can know at this moment is that he will be there for her, through thick and thin, protecting her and loving her in any way she needs, whether that is the love of a brother, best friend, or Lover. All this means for our daughter is that no matter what, she will always have someone by her side who has her best interests in mind.”

“Oh.” Is all she could say as she attempted to shift her way of thinking. A thick blanket of anxiety was wrapped tightly around her heart as she tried to consider what this means for her eldest daughter. If she was to take over the coven, she would benefit from a bodyguard. Having that much power in the magical world did come with a target on her back, and this Paul could make out to be a good protector.

She shook her head gently, dispelling the positive look she had taken on the situation, she still did not like this at all. She raised her daughters to pave their own road in life, not let anyone hold them back. This seemed all too… all too…

She let out a groan of frustration, letting her head fall onto her husband’s chest, as her mind failed to conjure the proper words to describe the feelings eating away at her. Aeon simply entangled his fingers into her hair and gently massaged her scalp, pressing a small kiss on top her head, “It will be alright, I assure you. Give it some time and I promise you will see.”

That was the final words exchanged between the two parents that night, they slipped into a deep sleep not long after, both minds full of thoughts of their dear daughter, Amelia.

𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘  

Henry Grey spent the first sundown of 1533, nestled within the warmth of Bradgate House, in mourning: his second child born female, a failed attempt at hereditary security for the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk. Amelia’s bloodline overwhelmed the small vision of a newborn babe: she, the product of the established noble Grey’s and granddaughter to Mary Tudor, the Queen of France. Woven into a family with an intimidating lineage and rumoured Catholic sympathies. No son, no heir, was fated for Henry Grey and Katharine Brandon - instead Amelia, much like her sisters, was equipped with expectation for accolade and influence. Thus inheriting ancestral desire, to achieve a far greater purpose than herself.

Amelia’s transformative years consisted of building education like armour. The middle child trailing Phillippa’s footsteps and learning from her elder sister’s example, whilst guiding Eleanor’s in tow, hand outstretched behind her. Three Grey girls devouring letters sent by their mother spent in rich tutelage within the expansive Leicestershire grounds of Bradgate House. Initially a shy little creature, but perceptive, malleable, curious, Amelia was afforded expansive lessons, her preferred subjects blending with the art of charm- dancing, singing, literature. Desperate for her father’s approval, for her mother’s pride. Anticipating a life of content servitude to solidify her family’s seat. As her age progressed, she sought to emulate the qualities she’d seen her mother master. A necessity for a Grey, lest weakness for a movement’s folly turn ruinous.

As the Grey girls rehearsed their roles, so too did England watch her family in bubbling anticipation: Phillippa served as the queen’s maid of honour in an arranged attempt to quell rumours of rebellion. Shortly after her dear sister’s departure, Amelia joined the Princess Elizabeth’s ladies in waiting at her court in Hatfield House. The world grew wider as she served Elizabeth, travelling between Hatfield, Hampton Court and Greenwich Palace. So, too, did Amelia’s circle of spectators and companions. Ever committed to her own disarming role of grace, gentleness, poise, combatting the unyielding fears of familial ruin that rattled her system.  

Upon the death of her father, the Grey’s title and subsequent lands were stripped and reverted to the Crown’s rule. Phillippa is arranged in matrimony to salvage their ties to the duchy of Suffolk - a stark reminder of their servitude to the name Grey. Maintain, advance, thrive. There is no room for otherwise, in such critical times. No. She shall have no mercy, a vow she repeats within the introspection of her mind.

No mercy. Here, the girl evolves into woman, and the story’s pace accelerates- a hum approaching, unavoidable, undecipherable. Racing, racing, toward a fate of a new calibre.

She sparks throughout the new king’s court as the next Grey daughter to wed, lady-in-waiting to Princess Elizabeth and hellbent on tailoring herself as a prime prospective bride. She manages to amass decent traction as arrangements are discussed, teasing in nonsense of courtly love, poetry, delicate dances of targeted admiration.

Fate is twisted, cruel, shifts beautiful amongst the chaos. The warning signs etched into her system fade into the ether as she falls for John Seymour. Avoidant, initially - but unable to deny their disruptive connection, Amelia delves into a secret affair that shatters the years of work she’s spent finessing. The Grey service she’s devoted her life to protect.

John becomes part of what she swears to protect: her purpose strays from the primed path and paves a way with him, together. Rebellious and reckless, the pair wed in secret. The middle Grey daughter flees to Bradgate House, gives birth to their son, John “Jack” Seymour, for only the trusted few and the walls of her family estate to know.

Jack is born, but Amelia still carries with her the fates of all those tied within her web of success and duty, and all the enemies awaiting her demise. Her son’s, her husband’s, her families. Thus, she returns to court for the wedding of Anne Boleyn as Lady Grey, anxiously, agonisingly concealing her marriage and motherhood until the opportune moment arises. Transfixed on aiding her family however she can, when her own actions brought forth a dangerous vulnerability.
