Felicity is 18, from a "naice" family, went to an expensive independent girls school, days filled with ballet and music lessons, riding her pony, culturally enriching holidays, etc. Conventionally pretty and poised, just like her mother. Ah yes, her mother - an elegant socialite with a poisonous tongue in private. It is never an easy relationship especially with Daddy away so often. University will be her escape route but her mental health is fragile.

Maude is a 98 year old woman and lives in a nursing home. She has no living relatives and her daughter died last year at the age of 78.

Maude is sharp as a pin. Trapped in an old body that doesn’t work very well any more her mind is as clear as it ever was.
She remembers everything and spends her day watching the other residents and being talked to as if she were 3 years old ‘Time for your cup of tea now Maude, that’s it, up we get’.
She doesn’t mind. She knows that things could be worse - at least the staff in her care home are nice to her and she is well cared for.

Time goes slowly but she enjoys listening to the radio and sleeping. She sleeps a lot during the day and spends time at night awake looking at her photo albums in the privacy of her own room.

Maude was a midwife for all of her working life. She ‘retired’ when she was 60. She has seen thousands of babies being born and reflects on the cycle of life. She has outlived many of those babies for some inexplicable reason.

Maude lived with her husband in the family home until his death at the age of 65. She misses her husband and daughter, parents, brothers and sisters more than anyone will ever know and wonders when it will be her time to go too.

Charlotte is late twenties with a bitchy resting face. She spends a lot of her time rolling her eyes, sighing loudly and folding her arms. She has a fiance, Joey, who she is horrible to. She only tolerates him because she likes saying she's engaged, and because he's in the army so he's away a lot.

Charlotte works in an office but she has vague ideas about moving on to something else someday soon, some of higher education, but she can't think what to study as she doesn't really like anything.

Whenever she goes on nights out with her friends, she drinks too much and ruins the night because someone has to carry her home/spend the night comforting her while she drunk cries about nothing/stop her snogging a stranger/stop her starting fight etc. Her friendship group are friends from school who stuck together more out of habit than anything else, and they sort of wish they could have a nice evening out without her drunkenly ruining it but they're too scared to not invite her because she can be very mean.

Maude

Joshua is a laidback, handsome college student. Tanned skin, floppy brown hair, and with twinkling brown eyes to match his dazzling Hollywood smile, Joshua is always popular. He positively glitters with the obvious blessings of a good life spent in the upper reaches of society. Despite having no opinions of his own beyond drinking and sports, Joshua attracts widespread attention and applause because of his lovable and cheerful nature, which is perhaps helped by his lack of deep thoughts.

Charlotte?

Poor old Smelly Shelley. She never dropped that nickname from
School and it's haunted her ever since. She wasn't even that smelly - I mean there was the one time she sharted in her gym knickers but it didn't really warrant a lifetime of the nickname following her around, surely?

The problem is she never moved out of her home town so she still gets it shouted at her across the street by the awful Barry Birtwhistle from time to time. And sometimes the men who were her classmates come into where she works at the builders merchants and snigger " Hello Smell" across the counter at her. " I just rise above it," she tells people. But still, it hurts.

It's not fair really. Shelley is a trim 50 year old who takes great care in her appearance. She's a regular at Raymond's salon, having her highlights done every 6 weeks like clockwork. Just enough to blend in the grey that's starting to appear. Raymond's got ever such a light touch like that, and he's been egging her on to think about Botox recently as well. He's got a lady who does, you see. Ever so discreet. And there's no denying the lines on Shelley's forehead are starting to creep in a bit. Even Jason her husband has said she's been looking tired lately.

She told Raymond she'd think about it, but she's already wondering if Jason would notice if she took a little out of the joint account to cover it.

Gloria is in her early forty's.

forty four to be precise.

She's curvy but borderline getting a little weighty since corona. Must be All her amazing cooking. Although she keeps active by helping out at her local soup kitchen lately as she's decided she wants to give to the community and she's an amazing cook so why not.
She's kind and people are close to her heart being an outreach worker She's a people person.

She never had children and wanted to pursue a singing career but the closest she got was being a back up singer for a few big soul acts.

She loves her nieces and nephews and has them round for 'good food Sunday' where she cooks lots of different dishes like her famous curry goat!

She been unlucky in love all her life but now she's decided her independence is her biggest asset and she's going to nurture that like there's no tomorrow!

She's toying with the idea of buying a cat but she's thinking maybe to foster but thinks it will fuck with her independence.

Saving to travel to Thailand so may skip the fostering till she's back
