Mary Casimira, of the House Carrington was the firstborn daughter of Charles, Baron of Carrington, only son of Mary Lucille and Joseph John of Selm. Her life was filled with palatial escapades, courtly etiquette, and Imperial Fashion.

Early Life

Mary Casimira of Carrington was born 17th Sun’s Smile, 1801 at Trissingham Court to Charles Augutus, the 3rd Baron of Carrington and his wife, Anna Henrietta of Provins. Upholding the tradition within the Carrington line Mary was named after both of her grandparents, the late Baroness, Mary Lucille and Viscountess-Dowager Casimira Philippa of Pompourelia.

At her birth Mary's father was in the prime of his tenure as Governor of the Palace resulting in a palatial upbringing with court tutors and palace servants at every turn. The girl swiftly took notice of the inner-workings of the court and the many facets of Imperial Court and it's courtiers. Following the disappearance and presumed death of her father, Mary's mother took his place as the first Governess of the Augustine soon lofting her daughter take the role of Majordomo of the Augustine at the age of fourteen.

In her youth Mary enjoyed many different activities at the Augustine, the first of which being the Providence Scouts led by Emerentia Kovachev, though the d'Arkent swiftly stopped all participation after an excursion to the bastian was far too "Boyish" for the prissy, petite d'Arkent. Mary found her groove within the courts, however, finding much more enjoyment working alongside her mother rather than even other children. The girl even went as far as to aid the palace garthers in their efforts of the Imperial Garden's upkeep, often saving clippings from her favorite flowers to gift to her now dearest friend, her mother. Her close relationship with the palace's staff certainly aided her overall opinion at court, swiftly becoming a beloved member by the Imperial Family and courtiers alike.

Within her aforementioned role of Majordomo Mary soon flourished, being deemed too young to take on such a role by her worrisome mother caused a pause before she began publishing her first events and missives, however the courtiers did not wait in vain as the girl produced her first missive at the age of fifteen, an institution that is still in use today under one of the woman's collages. After her first, many others followed, the most popular of which being the Carrington Soiree of 1817 [1]. The event was popularized by a missive written by Mary's cousin, Maise d'Arkent, that detailed everything wrong with the event from the lack of order to the missing guests of honour. Maise recieved quite a bit of backlash from the public since she made the fatal mistake of putting her own name on the gossip column.
