When World War I started, I was 15 years old. I wanted to become involved and help do my part, so I began training to become a nurse. At 17, I met a wonderful man while I was walking home from the hospital.

You were born in 1899, to a family in poverty, the last of four children.

Though your family has nothing of financial value, you are loved, and feel secure, and grow up knowing affection.

In 1916, you meet a young man at a function for soldiers returning home from the war, which you had attended with a friend and her soldier brother. 19-year-old [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] Morrow was a student intending on becoming a history professor when he enlisted in the war.

When World War I began, the Thayers opened their doors to injured soldiers, and [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] helped to keep the house running, fetching things for the nurses and making endless cups of tea, hoping to one day become a nurse.

In 1916, a middle-aged soldier that [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] and her parents helped to treat healed almost completely and began to come around often to socialize with [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]'s father [name_m]William[/name_m].

Her family was but strict in the sense of teaching us things and making sure we had strong moral values, including the value of money and hard work.

My name is [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Alma[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] Wilmington. I was born in 1899 as the last of two children to an extremely wealthy family. Me and my beautiful big sister [name_f]Eveline[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f] Wilmington were inseparable and did everything together. [name_f]Eveline[/name_f] was 4 years old when I was born.

My parents [name_m]Lord[/name_m] [name_m]Elgar[/name_m] [name_m]Fielding[/name_m] Wilmington and Lady [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f] Wilmington encouraged our talents from day one, and organised much of their life around me and my sister [name_f]Eveline[/name_f]'s future.
My parents had high expectations, and our days were packed with lessons and the best education a private tutor could offer.
My parents biggest wish was to have a big family, but despite of trying to have more children I was the last biological child born to our family. The idea of a large family didn’t leave my parents hearts so they decided to adopt. [name_f]Eveline[/name_f] 7 and I was 3 years old, when my little brother [name_m]Everard[/name_m] became part of our family. He was a beautiful, chubby baby. When [name_f]Eveline[/name_f] was 9, I was 5 and little [name_m]Everard[/name_m] 2 years old, my parents adopted twin babies. They named them [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. A year later our family grew with another little baby boy named [name_u]Everett[/name_u].

My parents dream of a big family had now become [name_u]True[/name_u]. (That’s also why [name_u]Everett[/name_u]'s middle name is [name_u]True[/name_u])

World War I started in 1914, and I decided to move to the country to work on my uncle [name_m]Lord[/name_m] [name_u]Alcott[/name_u] Wilmington’s farm with other women.
In 1916 my life changed completely. I was only 17 years old, when I met a young man. My parents introduced us at my dear cousin’s [name_f]Grace[/name_f] Wilmington’s wedding.
His name was [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] Rothchild. He was 19 years old, and it was love at first sight.
He was the oldest son of a wealthy family, the Rothchild’s.

My name is [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] Stevens. I was born in 1899, the last child of three, to my parents, [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] Stevens and [name_f]Norah[/name_f] [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] Stevens, who owned a small, but prosperous, business. I have two elder sisters, [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] Stevens (born 1895) and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] Stevens (born 1897). From a young age, I was showered with love and affection, but not material things, and never became spoiled.

During the war, which began when I was 15, I did what I could to help, usually making or mending clothing and tinning or preserving as much food as possible.

When I was 17, I met a young man through a mutual friend. His name was [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m]; he was two years older than me at 19 and studying to be a doctor.

My name is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Decima[/name_f] [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m].
I was born in 1899 to a reverend and his wife. I was their 10th child and would stay the youngest.
Though most of my childhood, my parents were busy with my older siblings, allowing me to grow up free of parental rules and to secretly make some money I hid from the family.
I got my first real job at age 15, shortly after ste start of WWI. It was an office job in the city.
Two years later, I was still working there and on my way home for the weekend when a handsome young man caught my attention. Although no older than me, [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is already a very wealthy business man.

When [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_u]Remington[/name_u] died, he left his brewery to his son, [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]. Under [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] [name_u]Remington[/name_u], the brewery became a small restaurant. It took [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]’s son, [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], however, to truly transform the business. With the help of his business-savvy wife, [name_f]Lilah[/name_f], [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] opened more restaurants, and the [name_u]Remington[/name_u] brews were being served in other taverns and restaurants.

[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] and [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] had three daughters: [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]- the Beauty, Brains and Brawn, respectively.

[name_f]Esther[/name_f], the oldest, was admittedly a bit spoiled by her parents. As she grew up, she found herself drawn to artistic pursuits. In 1913, she met a 22-year-old writer, [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] [name_m]Geoffrey[/name_m] Goodspeed, at a wedding. After a whirlwind flirtationship, they got engaged. [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] encouraged [name_f]Esther[/name_f] to publish her writing, and she managed to turn her craft into a source of income.

[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] showed her high intelligence from an early age, and as a result, her parents held her to high expectations. She spent most of her days with a private tutor, [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] Kildare, whose charms did not go unnoticed by her pupil. [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]’s adolescent dreams were fraught with confusion, pleasure, and shame, all because of her teacher. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] was neither the first nor last object of [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]’s affections. When she went to college to become a teacher, she found herself bonding with her roommate, [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_m]Philips[/name_m], more than she could have imagined.
By the time she turned 23 in 1919, [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] had never shown any sort of interest in men. Her parents, starting to worry, set her up with [name_m]Reginald[/name_m] [name_m]Basil[/name_m] [name_m]Martell[/name_m], a 24-year-old medical student. Their loveless marriage started just a few months later.

The third, [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], was always full of energy. Growing up, she was interested in athletics, and would wrestle with some of the boys from the neighborhood. While her sisters studied literature and music, she would go biking or riding. During the war, she put her physical strength to use at her uncle’s farm. In 1916, she met 19-year-old [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_u]Morley[/name_u], who was serving in the war, and they hit it off right away.

(Technically, [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] was supposed to be the protagonist, but I decided to do all three of the sisters. Also, this is gonna get pretty gay.)

(ALSO: Anything involving WWII that refers to civilians isn’t really applicable to the US. But if it’s set in the UK…or Europe in general.)
