Boarding School Brat Image

At a very young age you were sent to an elite boarding school not because your absent and wealthy parents valued education but because your parents found child-rearing inconvenient. Your formative years were spent learning the complex social hierarchies of privilege. These foundational lessons, much more so than your classes, taught you the important life skills that you thing will serve you throughout your life: money can buy access but not affection; status but not belonging.

You've mastered the art of leveraging your family name and connections, yet beneath the polished exterior lies someone who's never quite sure if people value you or your family's wealth. Now, thrust into the wider world with courtly etiquette, extensive connections, and a trust fund, you must navigate life outside the protective walls or your school.
