About Me

My cousin, Edmund, wishes me to put myself forward a little more to overcome my shyness so I have decided to make this effort to find new friends. My name is Fanny Price, and I have lived with my aunt & uncle at Mansfield Park since leaving my family & Portsmouth at the age of ten. I am fond, however, of my four cousins, and do not often get homesick. I do sometimes miss my brother, William, who is at sea.

My Interests

This is incredibly difficult for me since I do not enjoy talking about myself. I suppose that I am often very gentle and soft-spoken, but I do consider myself strong in some ways... I can be very steadfast and perhaps even a little stubborn at times. In truth, I will not be swayed when I feel that something is truly wrong and will hold my ground, even when being pressured by all around me.

I also have very strong emotions, and, I am afraid, it seems as though I am in tears quite often. But, please, do not let this deter you for, I promise, I do not cry as often as I used to.

I also have strong feelings when it comes to people and places that I love, and I feel very strongly about nature as well and sometimes end up in an absolute reverie over a beautiful landscape or a starlit night. But do not think that I am led only by emotions for I always depend on reason to guide my actions.

"We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be."

I'd like to meet:

My Aunt Bertram, Sir Thomas, my brother (William), Edmund, Tom, Julia, Maria, Mary Crawford, Henry Crawford, & essentially any other character that I am connected to... except perhaps my Aunt Norris {*ugh*}. Aside from those, I simply wish to create new friendships, especially with those who appreciate the novels & film adaptations of Jane Austen.

Music:

I enjoy hearing my cousins' play on the pianoforte, and I recently heard Miss Crawford play on her harp. Both instruments have a lovely sound to them, and I enjoy listening to them immensely.

Movies:

Je ne comprends pas.

Television:

Je ne comprends pas.

Books:

I enjoy poetry and any writings that praise the glories of nature.

Heroes:

My brother, William.
