Sample Turnsheet

This is the main task your character will be focusing on in the 3 months between Uptimes.

Attend the Frost Fair with Jane Chesterton and try to grow closer to her.

How do you plan to achieve this? Please try to keep this section brief but clear - you might find bullet points useful.

• Visit the modiste to get a new suit to impress Jane. If interest from my dowry doesn't cover the suit, I'll need to ask my brother for access to more of my savings. We might end up arguing about this, but I'll stand my ground that the spending is worth it, since I will seem a very unattractive marriage prospect if I only wear clothes from previous seasons. If necessary, I will remind him that the dowry money is legally mine, and I don't need his permission, then I'll take the documents and withdraw the money myself.
• Explore the Frost Fair as much as I can, so that I can draw sketches of it later.
• Get to know Jane better and make clear my romantic feelings for her (but in a formal and reserved way, since our chaperones will be watching. I'll do my best to get some time alone away from them, so I can get to know her more personally).
• If there are games that I have relevant skills for, I will try to impress Jane by doing well in them and winning her a prize.

• Charm 1 (for charming Jane. or, trying to.)
• Ingenuity 1 (maybe I can see a way to apply my skills in an impressive way to one of the games)

• Jane Chesterton
• My brother
• Whoever is assigned to be my chaperone. I hope it's Sidney since they might leave us alone for a minute

What other, smaller things does your character get up to? A Minor Action is something that takes little time or effort to do, and doesn't advance the plot significantly. These can be assumed to have been successful if they do not receive a response.

• Draw some sketches of the things I see at the Frost Fair
• Take Mother out for afternoon tea one day
• Place a bet that Fern Allen will win the upcoming match

How would you like this to go for your character? What would you like the emotional focus of the Turnsheet to be? Does this action contribute to your overall arc, if you have one planned?

• I'm hoping there's a big argument about accessing the dowry money.
• I feel like this date is doomed, since they haven't got on very well so far. But I am happy to be proved wrong!
• I'm excited to see what the Frost Fair is like.
• If the date is successful, it fits into the overall arc goal of finding a spouse this season, and Jane would be a very impressive spouse!
