Next up with a clue is:@finallychangedmyusername

Timothy!

Yay! It's Timothy.

Ok, explanation!

1st sentence:
"This note is not misleading".
This sentence is a double negative; therefore we deduce the note IS 'leading'. A 'leading note' is the 7th note of a major scale, which is also known as 'ti' (just start singing "Doe, a Deer"... and you'll get to "ti - a drink with jam and bread") 😁

2nd sentence:
"Then its unattractiveness may bug you".
An unattractive bug is a moth.

3rd sentence:
"Then a short whiny enquiry".
A short enquiry is "why?" And children love to whine "whhhhyyyyyy?!". Or Y.

Ti + moth + y = Timothy

And...
Extra clues for Ti were: Sung from the Austrian Alps which referenced The Sound of Music (linking to Doe, a Deer...and finally to Ti). You put on the kettle for a cup of tea, not coffee

Extra clues for moth were: the colourful cousin is a butterfly, including the painted lady ('lady of the night'), the peacock ('vibrant bird') and the speckled wood ('freckled forest').

...I promise my next one will be less cryptic.

Here's the baton back, @DuggeeHugs!

Definitely need to work on my mental agility @finallychangedmyusername - that was fun but tricky!

I'm going for a more straightforward one (because despite thinking about it all day that's all I can manage )

This musical twin is twice a heroine to Will, though he knows it not.

I have a feeling it might be Viola?

It is indeed Viola @finallychangedmyusername

A musical instrument, twin of Sebastian in the Merchant of Venice and also the heroine of Shakespeare in Love, though the Bard had no idea about the film.

And again to you!

Yay, nice one @DuggeeHugs! Ok, I promised an easier one, here goes:

This man has his own stairs and boozy fjord. Fictitiously, he is but a mere spectre and politically he could perhaps be described as a quitter.

Jacob?

Yep indeedy!

Jacob's ladder, Jacob's Creek wine, Dickens' ghostly Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol and, famous for his 'Leave means Leave' campaign, Jacob Rees-Mogg.

@DuggeeHugs, are you there?! Please come back!

I'm so sorry! Two poorly children have left me sleep deprived so apologies if this is just plain odd

A bit prickly, this nature lover may have a home by a lake

Aw, hope the children feel better soon @DuggeeHugs. I'll put my thinking (Santa) cap on...

Philip?

I see where you're coming from (I think - prickly Prince Philip?) but this is a girl's name

Hello! Sorry life took over. And possibly will again tomorrow but I do lurk .
Victoria?
Beckham is known to be a bit prickly and Lake Victoria? The nature clue I can't think

Heather?

And hello again @LadyGAgain!

Welcome back @LadyGAgain !

@finallychangedmyusername is getting warmer

It's good to be back. I hope to stay! Holly?

Yes @LadyGAgain has it!

Prickly of leaf, nature name, one original meaning was a dwelling by water

Over to you

Nicely played @LadyGAgain a d nice clue @DuggeeHugs!

Oooh! Ok let me have a think and I'll be back

Ok, my sleep deprived brain thinks this works but let's see!!

his very literal Italian lady became American but then settled on a Greek island. She’s proud to be on the in-crowd with reindeer.

Let's try again.

Meryl?

Not Meryl
