Graves

Your butler buddy and only trusted confidant in your aristocratic father's entire mansion. Proper, witty, and honest is often how others describe Graves, but he can be a bit too much of any of those words at times, in your opinion, and you'd add impatient as well while we're at it. Despite his strict and shewd behavior, Graves is far more accommodating to you than anyone else in this household, doting even, which you attribute entirely to being the only heir to this estate and therefore most likely his future employer. Regardless, the two of you have become quite close over time and while making clandestine commentary when out of earshot. Now your father is throwing a grand ball to show off your family's wealth and encourage you to seek a suitable partner amongst those vying for your attention. It's always money or matrimony with your father, but you're not about to accept either, especially on anything less than your terms, and you and Graves will have your fun with his guests in any case.
