Jessica Stirling
Sometimes, the most captivating books have the most unassuming covers.
Character Introduction
Jessica Stirling is a anthropology student at University College London with a knack for unearthing long-lost secrets. Bookish, demure, and a bit nerdy, she feels more at home in a museum than at the club, more comfortable being the one watching from afar than receiving attention. It is only online that she truly comes out of her shell, donning the comfortable veil of internet anonymity to regale her followers with Roman civilization trivia or Pokemón cosplay. Without fail, she attends church every Sunday with her parents.
Background
Family and Upbringing
Born into a privileged and devout household, Jessica is the daughter of Sir Theodore Stirling, a knighted barrister and owner of Stirling & Cross Solicitors, and Samantha Stirling, headmistress of St. Hilda’s School for Girls. For as long as she can remember, her life has revolved around tradition, faith, and monumentally high expectations—things that all have come to chafe against her free spirit.
The Scandal
At the age of ten, Jessica's world was disrupted by a money-laundering scandal involving her parish and organized crime. Her father defended the church in court, but the relentless media attention left Jessica feeling isolated, particularly as classmates teased her and social media outrage spilled over unto her family.
Education
Jessica attended St. Hilda’s School for Girls, where her mother served as headmistress. She excelled academically and developed a passion for history in particular. Now at University College London, she is focused on anthropology, with a keen interest in the Roman-Celtic roots of Britain and the transition from pagan to organized faiths.
