OKAY SO, THIS MIGHT GO ON A BIT LONG BUT HERE IS EXCITINGFUN BACKSTORY TIME. For at least where it comes to airing out my pitiful remembered French from elementary and high school (8 years! You'd think something would stick!) I am going to be very lazy and make bad jokes using poor grammar. Everything else is stupid-complex. So as per usual, yes. (And, alright, most of Amy/Rory's is due to chatona.)
waitsforever(/waitedforyears: Amy is the daughter of a noble couple who are part of the ooooooold french nobility. And also rich. Which means that at least for right now, pre the Glorious Revoluuuution when Robespierre will have fun with people's heads, she has it totally made. Well. Mostly. Her parents are kind of both dead. Amy was raised by her aunt...kind of, who was her guardian until Amy came into her title and fortune. Only she barely paid attention to her. So Amy had a few noblewoman lessons or...whatever, but pretty much entirely avoided any kind of real discipline. Making her a loose cannon. AS FOR RORY. He...is the bastard son (not that it really matters sooo much in the lower classes) of a servant in Amy's house. And being basically the only kid her age really accessible to her, Amy latched onto him and they became bffs. And, when older, lovers. Only then Amy turned 17 or 18, whatever, and came of age, and into her rank and fortune, and was invited to court. Naturally, this made Rory kind of sad and mopey because he was convinced she'd go off to court and forget him and marry strategically and stuff.
Only naturally, then, she bought Rory a title, married him, and brought him to court along with her. They are not a typical court couple at all, naturally. It is probably established that Rory gets mocked by the court, and fairly demeaned to his face, though probably not when Amy's there because she is extremely influential. Amy is seen as a mad ececntric. Probably.
Also, they have names/titles because I got carried away. Amelie d'Étang, marquesse de Lendemain, vicomtesse d'Hier and Romain Guillaume, écuyer, vicomte d'Hier. Yes, I know. Shut up. >.>'
loonyandproud: Campbell is a palace servant and I'm going to be slightly kind to him and say that he's not full-on manic even without drugs right now. That said, he is the mad servant. I haven't really completely decided but maybe he's the bastard of a prince or something and he's kept in the palace as a favour.
Unless someone really really wants a bipolar guy for something, in which case, I'm happy to oblige.
