het_reccersFandom: Jane Austin's “Persuasion”
Character: Anne Elliot
Pairings Included in Manifesto: Anne Elliot/Frederick Wentworth
Blurb: Anne is a quite, sensible girl (of the Jane Bennet and Elinor Dashwood type but without a lively sister to draw her out) who is overlooked by her family.
Anne, with an elegance of mind and sweetness of character, which must have placed her high with any people of real understanding, was nobody with either father or sister; her word had no weight, her convenience was always to give way--she was only Anne.
Then she falls in love – and is then persuaded to gave him up.
A short period of exquisite felicity followed, and but a short one. Troubles soon arose. Sir Walter, on being applied to, without actually withholding his consent, or saying it should never be, gave it all the negative of great astonishment, great coldness, great silence, and a professed resolution of doing nothing for his daughter.
A few months had seen the beginning and the end of their acquaintance; but not with a few months ended Anne's share of suffering from it. Her attachment and regrets had, for a long time, clouded every enjoyment of youth, and an early loss of bloom and spirits had been their lasting effect.
This act will come to define her life – Anne, the quite; Anne, the meek; Anne, the one who gives up her life for her family; Anne, the one looked over.
