Hello, Selene!
As a new money family, she might know the Carringtons. Roderick used to be your average knucklehead, but he’s likely to attempt murder in broad daylight soon. He’s available for both past and current threads – past if you want to build up to an awkward friend she might miss, and current if you want her to be subjected to his increasing anxiety and accompanying questionable decisions around his father writing all his children out of his will (after his eldest was found, dead, to be a murderer among other things).
Aslan might be in her employ over stolen jewels. Though he works with the constabulary, his bread and butter tends to be retrieving stolen goods and working on fraud cases and stealing goods, cough.
If you’d like her to get mixed up in some drama, Zechariah has a checkered past with at least one Appleton and his wife. He also runs the social rounds, mostly to schmooze.
Lory is a socialite whose origins of money are not discussed in polite company. She is seen connected to this man and that, though none of them seem to stick. She likes jewelry … as do other courtesans at her high-class brothel, so it would make sense for them to meet at Bess’ jewelry shop.
If she needs a lawyer, Zechariah is prickly but could be convinced to advocate for her if the cause seemed just and the payoff seemed even more just. He also has a lot of theater types in his family (including BrokenBaroque’s Ruth, who you may want to reach out to). He may well have seen her – he lives part time in London, and vacations/holidays in Whitby. It is possible, too, that he worked for her family – he was especially well-connected in his early days, before his main connection was killed in a high-profile and compromising altercation.
Again, Roderick might run in similar circles if she has presence in Whitby.
