Brookestone Academy is a highly prestigious, all-girls boarding school. The occupants are expected to do great things when they graduate: become lawyers, doctors, politicians, scientists, etc; They certainly aren't thinking about English. Who cares about old dead poets anyway? But when a new English teacher arrives, she teaches like no other professor at Brookestone. She begins something. Something wonderful. Something… powerful.

Personality: She can come off as floaty and a bit peculiar at first, but you learn that there is always a method to her "madness". She is compassionate and understanding towards the girls. Sometimes, she creates worlds in her mind and gets lost in them. But there is nothing she won't do for her students.
Strengths: Her ability to see the best in people/situations
Flaws: Her teaching methods (according to the other teachers), and her "idealistic over realistic" mentality
Family History/Background: Her father died when she was young, so she never really had a male influence on her life. She has an older sister, Madeline, who is two years older than her. Her mother is a renowned physician, and Madeline is a fierce courtroom lawyer.
Expected Occupation: She's a teacher, but her sister keeps trying to urge her into a more "practical" career.
Hobbies: Sewing, reading, writing, taking leisurely walks around the grounds, eating butterscotch
Theme Song: Escape (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes
Quotes:

• "Keep your chins up and your dreams bold, girls! There is nothing you can't do with your words!"
• "To prolong conformity is to deny individuality."
• "Don't you see what you can do? It's all at your fingertips! All you have to do it let it go. Preferably onto the page."

Family History/Background: Her parents are relatively wealthy, and sent her to Brookestone to find a career. Though she loves her family and they her, the pressure to succeed makes their relationship strained at times.
