Humble Housekeeper

You are an experienced housekeeper with a history of Working for all sorts. You have spent a lot of time among other households and still have contacts within the staff of most of your previous employers. You’re far closer than most people to the world of intrigue, secrets and scandal that pervades the closed doors of “civilised” affluent families and you have survived up to this point by going unnoticed knowing that the arrogance of the entitled and wealthy leads them to often overlook the ones cleaning up their messes and scrubbing their chamber pots.

Suggested Characteristics

A housekeeper, house manager, cook or cleaner can, to some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There might be honor among housekeeping, that rarely shows any respect for common law or authority. More like a tight community of those in LIKE situations.
