| Known face I must become well known in both kine and kindred circles to become more eligible. The plan is to go to balls and dazzle everyone with my beauty and grace in dancing. The goal is to befriend kine peerage. |
| Free Dresses Once I have my store I will need to promote its fantastic apparel, to do this we will give free dresses to women of high standing and beauty so that they may spread the good word. |
| Royal Warrant Once I have my store the goal will be to receive a royal warrant, this lets us have a coat of arms to signify the sheer quality of the dresses. |
| Longterm ambitions One day I will hold the position of Harpy, and find a suitable gentleman to marry into the peerage, though not necessarily in that order. |
| Production Whilst I have time to make my own dresses, many more are needed. To be assured of the quality I should own my own clothing workshop where the best workers can create my designs. |
| Future retainers and contacts Get in contact with an influencer type woman. The popular kind who convinces others in her wide social ricles to follow her style. Get a private investigator type retainer who I could use to get information on people. |
| Advertisement Expand advertising campaign with a painting of an upstanding English noblewoman with a gladstone dress, and have this reproduced everywhere, in streets and in newspapers. Get town criers to keep an eye open for news. |

| Evaluate Marriage candidates If the prince does not seem to show any interest then I will have to evaluate slightly less eligible marriage candidates. Lord Hertford has impeccable style but may care more about my dresses than my appearance. Sir Crosswick is only a sir, but is ambitious, we should see what his character is like. |
| Do not mess this up \\ Work through the curtsies and be introduced to the court of the Prince at the debutante ball in your fabulous new dress, do not make any mistakes. |
| Magnatism 1 Learned Entrancement. |
| Best Dresses Become better at making beautiful dresses (train crafts 3) |
| Be of some consequence \\ Amass sufficient money so as to be able to afford the finest of dresses and take care of myself. Increasing amounts of wealth will mean increasing amounts of consequence, which is important for social status. \\One approach is to do enough favours to Lord Hertford or Lady Sitas. |
| Amongst friends \\ Gather a inner circle of most beautiful (but not so beautiful as I) ladyfriends, with whom gossip and companionship can be exchanged on those emptiest of nights. These may serve as a steady supply of blood, and if a proper mansion can be found they can be housed there as well. Expand the pool to be large enough for daily needs. |
| A place to call mine own Find a house, preferably big and in the inner city to own. An estate on the side in the country can be a luxury after this has been established. (( Primrose Cottage )) |
| Better crafting To make the best possible dresses, I should find someone else who is not necessarily better but at least has different influences. |
| Dress Tour To drive success to my store and brand of dresses I should visit kine balls when the kindred season is over. A little showing off, and wellplaced awe should suitably convince people that my dresses are the latest in fashion. Over the summer, many balls were visited and my dressmaking was promoted. |
