Georgiana Darcy - extraordinarily shy, an accomplished pianist, romantic but super hesitant after her experience with George Wickham. She is an introvert, but lives a full life in the letters she writes and the music she plays. Very like her brother in some ways, she can be stubborn and a bit of a grudge holder.
Kitty Bennet - a ray of sunshine, the perfect best friend and wing man, she is supportive, optimistic, and a problem solver. Without the influence of Lydia, she is more grounded and generous. She is the mastermind behind Georgianna’s future.
Elizabeth Darcy - loves all of her sisters but loves Georgiana like a combo of sister and mother and brings Georgiana out in a way that her brother, Fitzwilliam Darcy tends to shut her down.
Lydia Wickham - a little extra but has gained some wisdom. Now that she is suddenly without a husband, (George Wickham,) she is looking for a companion again, only to find Kitty unavailable. She is trouble when she has too much unstructured time on her hands.
Jane Bingley - Eldest and most reserved sister of the Bennets. Married to Charles Bingley and very pregnant with her first child. Kind, generous, soft spoken.
Mary Bennet - Middle sister, brainy and extremely recently engaged to Arthur de Bourgh.
Henry Grey - Georgiana's beau - also remarkably shy and an introvert but of incredible sincerity and intellect. Henry is unassuming, possibly to a fault, and is unaware that he is the hero of the story.
Thomas O'Brien - Henry’s friend, a little bawdy and a little jolly, says exactly what's on his mind, does not have much time for polite society but is so good natured that everyone kind of loves him.
Fitzwilliam Darcy - proud but finding his warmth, does not forgive easily, perhaps slightly overprotective of his little sister.
Sarah Darcy - Lizzy and Fitzwilliam Darcy's daughter (played by Lydia) She is serious like her father and exuberant like her mother, friendly and opinionated.
Emily Grey - Henry Grey's daughter (played by Jane) Sweet, earnest, deeply devoted to her father and self-possessed.
Margaret O’Brien - Kitty and Thomas’s daughter (played by Mary) bubbly, busy, and incredibly empathetic just like her father, a thoughtful caretaker like her mother.
