			As a Bookish Governess, Rebecca solves her problems with logic and her Eidetic Memory. She uses her knowledge to Teach and Care for her wards and whoever will listen, even outside of those under her care. She hopes to make an impression on others, but most of the upper class dismiss her as Only The Governess, both ignoring what she's learned and who she is.

			Standing On Her Own, Rebecca knows that others may look down on her Self-Reliant attitude but she won't let that stop her. She intends to make something of herself, thinking for herself and trying to find those of a similar mind. Dealing with the upper crust as she has to for her profession, she knows she should keep quiet. Since coming into her power, she's found it harder to do so.

	~~As a '''Gentleman Advocate'''~~, ~~Evelard solves problems for his '''Exclusive Friends'''. He~~'s ~~a '''Fixer''', someone with connections and the ability~~ to ~~organize operations and wheel and deal~~. ~~When worst comes~~ to ~~worst, he can rely on his training~~ with ~~'''Sword and Pistol'''~~, ~~and his sanctuary is~~ the ~~'''Ancestral Library''' he inherited~~. ~~He can be overcome by the~~ '~~''Barriers of Class~~,~~''' though those specific barriers will vary as he varies~~ the ~~class that he appears to belong~~ to.		The Enchantress of Avalon gives Rebecca the powers of Avalonian magic, home of the world's knowledge of magic according to legend. She still plans to experiment with the powers given, Endless Curiosity giving her the chance to use this power as needed for the problem at hand. Due to Morgan's power relating to Astrology, the Open Sky allows her to increase the efficiency and potency of her magic.

	~~'''The High Druid'''~~, ~~Evelard searches for his lost Circle, as he needs allies for his cause. They are sleeping somewhere in Britain, resting beneath~~ the ~~souls~~ of ~~the men and women of the isles. He confers unto his allies the '''Traits of Beasts'''~~, ~~and his '''Druidic Magic''' is most potent '''Under the Open Sky''', but his undoing is his '''Inscrutability'''; when his schemes and devices~~ are ~~too convoluted and opaque, he loses the trust of his allies and his powers work against him.~~		Hands That Mend , unlike the spells of magic, are a more mysterious force directly applying from her hands to heal those who she wishes to care for. The major drawback is that it doesn't function in darkness, which means that it can be difficult to use without forethought.

	Tormented with the '''Blood of Demons''', Evelard's '''Immortality''' makes less relevant many wounds. '''A Drop of his Blood''' can empower many of his abilities, but shed too freely, his '''Anger will be Unleashed,''' and his nightmares are filled with terrors of unleashed moments past. While Evelard prefers negotiation and influence, revealing his '''Unholy Demeanor''' will hasten the compliance of a ~~reluctant foe~~.

	The ~~Merlin is ever and always an '''Opportune Advisor'''. What Evelard understands~~ is that there are hidden Thrones, people of power, and Advisors not unlike himself are positioning themselves in a Great Game to control them. In his quest to ensure the Game progresses in the manner best for England, Evelard '~~''Whispers~~ in ~~Ears''' while wearing one of '''1000 Faces'''~~, ~~through~~ which he can reach any subject in need of his advice. No secret or piece of knowledge can hide from him long; to him '''Your Mind is an Open Book.''' He has to exercise caution, however, as he falls in '''Love with Humanity''' too easily, and can quickly turn from benevolent predator to ~~stricken prey~~.

	''~~Evelard stepped from~~ the ~~carriage and regarded the country mansion~~, ~~composing his thoughts before embarking up the marble steps~~. ~~His mission here was~~ to ~~put~~ a ~~word~~ of ~~caution into~~ the ~~Duke's ear~~, ~~staying the signing~~ of the ~~treaty at least until word from Evelard's compatriots across~~ the ~~Channel had arrived. A few days, perhaps. A week would be too long. But the Club needed to know what was happening in the Blue Forest before they could allow any diplomatic action to be taken~~.''		''A boy of no more than 8 stands on the top of a metal railing, balancing himself as best as he can. A girl, likely 10, is not paying attention to the boy, instead focused intently on a book in front of her. From the next room, Rebecca takes a step into view of the boy and raises her voice over towards the boy.''

	~~''His name would get him into the ball, but it would not grant him access to the inner chambers where the Duke's advisors would gather. For that, he would need to adopt the face~~ of Viscount Tremaine, and that would require a bit of derring-do to get the Viscount alone in the sitting room where Evelard's accomplice both waited and would stand watch. It wasn't going to be an impossible evening, but by the Oak it would be a viper's nest. He wasn't certain of the number of agents from the Nations Seen and Unseen who would be in attendance on this Solstice Moon, each seeking to influence the course of modern events. But there ~~was no question the place would be full of observers, each reporting to their secret lord. Some, no doubt, looking to interfere.''~~		"Nathaniel! Get off of there!"

	''~~Well~~. ~~Nothing~~ was ~~accomplished from hesitation~~. ~~Best~~ to ~~walk through~~ the ~~door and start~~ the ~~dance than get lost in~~ the ~~endless permutations of an imperfect plan. He made his way to~~ the ~~ornate doors~~.		''The surprise on Nathaniel's face, the sudden turn by the girl and Rebecca knew something would happen. It always does. She was already setting down her books as Nathaniel began to wave his arms, losing his balance and flailing to try to regain it. Without thinking, Rebecca's hands both move to the right as a gentle force pushes Nathaniel to the side of the girl, and unfortunately for the boy, a sturdy wooden table.''
	''

	''"~~Ah. Lord Severstern," a familiar voice drolled as he stepped through the foyer. "How excellent. And here I thought the night was going~~ to ~~be one of tedium~~."		"She told you before not to do that."

	''		"Not now, Elizabeth. Is he alright?" ''Nathaniel's eyes begin to well up in tears as the pain from the fall kicks into him. Rebecca is already there, trying to comfort the boy. As much as he shouldn't be climbing up there, has no one else been there, it could have been much worse. Nathaniel's forehead shows the sign of a gash, one that hasn't been noticed yet by either of the children. ''
	''~~By the Seven Storms~~. ~~What was~~ the ~~Count~~ of ~~Ravens doing here? Had~~ the ~~Night Court broken their cypher? Evelard gave~~ the ~~hawk-nosed man a courageous smile~~, ~~but he knew from looking into~~ the ~~necromancer~~'~~s eyes~~ that the ~~spiderweb was already drawn tight around him~~. ~~The trap was sprung~~, ~~and he~~'~~d never seen~~ it ~~coming~~. ~~He could only hope~~ that the ~~others would see it for what it was and make rapid alterations. But~~ the ~~treaty's delay was lost~~.
	''		"Don't worry yourself, Nathaniel. It will be okay. It's just a scratch." ''Before either child could think about it too much, Rebecca's hands are on the wound, which quickly heals under the light of her hand and the sun.'' "Now, I did tell you not to do that. If you want to practice your balance, find a place closer to the ground. Now, we have to get back to arithmetic, unless you want to talk to your parents?"

			''Elizabeth sighs in the background as Nathaniel shakes his head. Elizabeth speaks up as she looks at Rebecca.'' "Why arithmetic? Father says it isn't important.."

			"And what does Father say about that book on Greek Mythology that you were just reading?" ''Elizabeth and Rebecca share a playful moment before the lesson begins in earnest, the three of them surrounding the table.''
