	Alexandria, d8 - ~~rival with~~ a ~~similar~~ history		Alexandria, d8 - She is a rough, unladylike, boyish girl. That I would find the rivalry of such a person edifying, or her history sympathetic, could not possibly be true... correct?

	Kay, d4 - ~~Welsh~~ nationalism ~~versus~~ British ~~Imperalism~~		Kay, d4 - Her nationalism goes against the idea of the British Empire!

===Background===
By the time Georgia was born her father had moved from being a soldier to being a slightly overworked administrator. He was a fighter who had served well in the army and so had received an obscure parcel of land to look after under the British Raj. During the formative years of Georgia's life there was fear of unrest in the province, so she spent a large amount of her time inside with her father's tales of his homeland and the large library left by the previous occupant of the house: this shaped her views and therefore her life to come. Britain became both exotic and the homeland, and therefore a place enjoyable but also right to emulate. She devoured what she could get on British literature and British education, even stumbling onto some foreign reading on the way. Her father was a little distant with his work and she didn't see him too much apart from his grand stories, so she spent a lot of time with her mother and, later, the servants and their children. As the only British family for several miles, she was able to get away with her aversion to physical activity under the excuse of being foreign and made quite a few friends, even if she was conditioned not to think of them that way.

When her father died of a hunting trip (age and a lack of practice had caught up with Richard more than he liked to admit), one of the few bright spots in her life was the idea that she would get to go to her ancestral home, the land of which she had heard so much! But this is not the Britain she read or heard about. The climate is hellish and cold, the landscape bland or rocky or bland and rocky, the clothes worse than what she had to wear at home and the food - the less said about the food, the better. She's begged and scrounged some stuff and she's going to start cooking some proper meals, if only she could remember how. And while back home she could socialize and chat with anyone, here - oh, well, she'll be doing fine until she mentions something perfectly innocent and suddenly everybody's acting as if she's as bad as the Lawson girl! Her! The nerve! And what some of the girls here say about the people back home almost make her wish she were the Lawson girl, so she could punch them. What they say is so... ungracious. Dad never told her about this.

The British Empire is obviously a fine and noble thing, but Georgia is of the opinion that it is a finer and nobler thing in India than it is in Britain.
