## Description
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?

## Characters
### Samantha Taylor Coleridge
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.

### Georgia Byron
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.

### Lillian Wordsworth
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.

### Roberta Southey
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.

### Tabitha De Quincey
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.

### Alexandra Pope
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.

### Persephone Shelley
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.
