The Nobles

1. Lucia Durand

As captain, Lucia was under a lot of pressure to choose the right path for her crew. Most agree that her final decision was for the best- but some wonder if she only did what was best for herself. Uncannily, Lucia befriended those with power very quickly. The money that her crew stole also ensured that she will be able to maintain a luxurious lifestyle (her crew doesn't have to know just how much money they had). Lucia is friends with one of her fellow crew members (Judi Dielman). However, Lucia antagonized Akua Owusu by stealing from his water supply. The two of them are now sworn enemies. Lucia has also declared Erin Parker as an enemy due to general differences in personality. Lucia is off to an interesting start, but will all of her enemies eventually catch up to her?

2. Georgia Tomasi

Georgia has always taken her high rank for granted. At home, she chaffed at the need to always be the perfect lady and impress the many suitors that were only after her family's wealth. She helped to organize the voyage just for the chance to get away from everyone's expectations. On the boat, she willingly allowed the pirate Jack Trader to court her (a pirate! How scandalous! Wouldn't her poor mother just faint?). She is excited to begin a new life, where she can focus on painting, her true passion. Her help in paying for the boat (with her parent's money, of course- they thought they were funding some party dresses), however, guaranteed her a high status in the new kingdom. Will Georgia still be bound, just by a new set of expectations? Will she ever escape the fear that others control her life?

Class Status: Noble
Traits: Artistic, Charismatic, Neurotic, Savvy Sculptor, Snob
LTW: Master of the Arts
Romantic Interest: Jack Trader (see "Lower Class")

3. Wayne Dunthorpe

Wayne never questioned going on the ship. He felt that it was his destiny, his chance to do something truly exciting and wild. Wayne was sick of hanging around court flirting with women and riding in jousting tournaments. So he left, and hasn't looked back since. Right now, life is seeming pretty perfect. He knows that he's a big shot in the new kingdom (bringing tons of money tends to do that for you). He's already noticed girls squabbling over who gets to marry him- not that he plans to marry anytime soon! Best of all, Kira Ashton, his closest friend since childhood, has also decided to come. The only annoyance in his perfect world is Robbie Johnston. How dare that upstart jerk call him pretentious? Wayne has vowed to make sure that Robbie and his descendants are never in the upper class.

Class Status: Noble
Traits: Athletic, Charismatic, Daredevil, Flirty, Lucky
LTW: Super Popular
Enemy: Robbie Johnston (See "Upper Middle Class")
Friend: Kira Ashton (See "Nobles")

4. Kira Ashton

Everyone knows that Kira's a good girl. Sheltered and almost always kept at home in her gigantic manor house, Kira needed to get away. When her best friend Wayne told her about a journey to a new kingdom, Kira fell in love with the idea. Her parents begged her not to go, but Kira wouldn't listen. No matter what she did, someone wanted to coddle her or call her a "sweet little girl," like she didn't know what she was doing. Kira was sick of being treated like a child. She just wanted to be left to make her own decisions, and her choice was to leave. In the new kingdom now, Kira knows that everything will work out. She's already found a man to start a family with too! His name is Fitzwilliam Devehart, and unlike everyone else, even Wayne, he treats her like a real person, not a delicate doll. So why does he insist they keep their relationship secret? Kira is prepared to lose her status in the kingdom if that's what it takes for the world to acknowledge their relationship.

Class Status: Noble
Traits: Friendly, Flirty, Good, Hopeless Romantic, Technophobe
LTW: Surrounded by Family
Enemy: Fran Stein (See "Lower Class")
