You were born in 1874, were betrothed from birth to the daughter of Marquess Alexis Midford, and lived an altogether normal life for ten years, before the former Earl, Countess and your younger twin brother were assassinated and the Phantomhive manor destroyed. You disappeared for a month before you returned to reclaim the Earldom and associated titles. By 1887 you had made Funtom Corporation one of the most famous toy and confection manufacturers in the world, and had the favor of her Majesty Queen Victoria and the utmost respect in high society, despite your age. Your work for the Queen had also made Phantomhive a name to be feared by any with ill intent against crown or country.

[ And she'd always admired her ancestor for it. ]
