For all of her training to be the 'belle of the ball' at her parents social functions, Enid is in reality a little socially awkward and shy. You might have to forgive her sometimes for the odd faux pas. She has grown up in a life where everything has been done for her so she is lacking in some basic skills (cooking, cleaning, etc) but this makes her all the more determined to learn them.

There is a fiery streak in Enid somewhere, it just needs the right situation for you to see it.

The only child to Ophelia and Magnus Marchand, a well-to-do family living in the coastal suburbs around Seajewel and enjoying a comfortable lifestyle thanks to the decades-old family-run business. Initially started as just a specialist in exotic materials and artefacts, the Marchand name can now be synonymous with bigger trade operations and even small-scale trade and archaeological expeditions. Ophelia and Magnus were mature parents, having spent much of their youth building a business and social standing. Enid is the centre of their world. Which is not to the benefit of Enid.

With access to the best tutors, the best books, the best of pretty much everything, Enid definitely had a very priveleged upbringing. It was a lonely existence though, with no other Curios of her age in her parents' social groups. Instead, her time was taken up by hobby after hobby, all of them foisted on her by her parents so that she might be considered a 'worldly Curio in her adulthood. Enid has tried it all. Painting, singing, music lessons, classical dancing, nyk-nykka riding, sewing, sailing...the list goes on. There were very few interests that Enid was allowed to choose and cultivate for herself. It was only in her adolescence that her parents yielded and finally let Enid learn archery. Basically, Ophelia and Magnus wanted to live vicariously through their daughter. Ophelia wanted the pretty doll to show off at parties and to look dazzling for potential suitors, whilst Magnus wanted the astute and well-versed heir to the business.

Even though she is an adult, Enid still stays at home with her parents. Having seemingly skipped the rebellious teenager phase (or is it just bottled up?), Enid is chipping away at her parents hold over her life with small acts of dissent.
