Based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

A girl who enjoys talking, but often gets carried away with her own ideas. Conversations with her have a tendency of becoming rather one-sided.  She’s been depressed lately, and has been a lot quieter than usual. Her reasoning is, what's the point in performing when Lillian isn't there to appreciate it?  She has low self-esteem and can be very clingy – unhealthily so.  Maybe this is a side effect of being the youngest daughter of such a large family.

Samantha Taylor Coleridge

Based on Lord Byron.

A general nuisance who derives great pleasure from making other people (particularly Roberta) unhappy.  She says all kinds of outrageous things she doesn’t truly believe just to offend other people, so it’s often difficult to tell what she really thinks.  She is a genuine lady, coming from a well-connected family, and takes great pride in this fact. Sadly, her title is nothing more than mere decoration, as her family is almost destitute.

Georgia Byron

Based on William Wordsworth.

An aloof girl who doesn’t get too close to others – not even to her supposed ‘best friends’.  She is mature for her age and dispenses good advice to others, but often does it so bluntly those she tries to help get upset. That never seems to bother Lillian, however.  She is incredibly close to her younger brother, Theodore, whom she hasn't seen in several years.

Lillian Wordsworth

Based on Robert Southey.

One of Samantha’s oldest, closest friends. Roberta is a sensible girl who places a great deal of faith in the rules, and invariably gets angry when people break them.  She often gets frustrated with Samantha, but cares for her a great deal.  She tries to act as cool and aloof as Lillian, but always caves in and gets angry/embarrassed when people (particularly Georgia) start making fun of her.

Roberta Southey

Based on Thomas De Quincey.

Lillian’s self-proclaimed biggest fan, De Quincey is a strange girl who follows Lillian around like an over-eager puppy.  She has fairly macabre interests, and often talks about serious subject matters in a disconcertingly offhand manner.  She has a good deal in common with Samantha, and the two are rather close friends – or at least, they were. Now, after an unfortunate incident Samantha would rather not recall, Samantha tries to avoid her.

Tabitha De Quincey

Based on Alexander Pope.

A bitter English teacher who bemoans the fact she has to act as a chaperone on the year 12's geography trip. Why? She doesn’t even teach geography. Miss Pope is incredibly, unusually short, but more than makes up for her lack of height with her gleeful sadism and caustic comments. Why she became a teacher is something of a mystery, but most assume she did it in order to make as many of her students' lives as miserable as possible.

Alexandra Pope

Based on Percy Shelley.

A girl who, at first glance, seems to be shy and softly spoken. However, when brought onto the topics of women’s rights, the meat industry, or police brutality, she can become very outspoken.  She’s an optimistic do-gooder who attempts to convert others to her own ideals, often without success. Nevertheless, she refuses to give in – which is nothing short of a miracle, considering the cynical and misanthropic Georgia is her best, perhaps only, friend.  She used to be bullied quite badly but now, given her friendship with Georgia, nobody dares to say a bad word against her. Not to her face, anyway.

Persephone Shelley

Samantha is depressed. She’s been depressed for a long time, almost as long as she can remember, but it’s slowly been getting worse.  She thought Lillian was her friend, her best friend. Perhaps she even thought of her as more than that.  Why, then, did their relationship have to fall apart? Was it really her fault? She didn’t do anything wrong. At least, she didn’t intend to.  Now, three months later, Samantha finally has her chance. Forced together on their geography field trip to the Lake District, will she finally be able to repair her relationship with Lillian – or will it collapse all over again?

It's every literature student's dream! ♥ Follow Samantha Coleridge, who is (as one might expect coming from Coleridge) languishing in the doldrums of depression. Samantha has been miserable for a long time, but her bleak mood has continued to worsen after an intense falling-out with her best friend, Lillian Wordsworth.

Samantha turns these thoughts over in her head fitfully for several months, until a school field trip gives her a chance to once again spend time with Lillian. In the enchanting environs of the Lake District, will Samantha finally be able to fix her fractured relationship with Lillian... Or is it destined to crumble once again? <img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/386990/extras/1aa1618156bf22d5ef69eb49ef2cda19.avif?t=1780695721" width=616 height=130 /> <ul class="bb_ul"><li>70k worth of text (approx 3-6 hours of reading) </li><li>A story with four different endings and several choices </li><li>Gorgeous character and background artwork </li><li>A cast of characters all based on Romantic poets (and Alexander Pope) </li><li>Samuel Taylor Coleridge, re-envisioned as a sad lesbian!!! </li><li>She has a crush on Wordsworth now!!! </li><li>Wordsworth doesn’t reciprocate!!! </li><li>Also, chic vampire Byron is pretty cute ♥ </li></ul>
