Obviously Kitty Bennet is the lead, but in the supporting section are the two potential romantic options, Frederick Tilney and Jaimie Morland; finally, best friend, Julia Bertram.

You may recognize these names not from P&P, but from other Austen works. Specifically Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park. All were tertiary characters in their respective books, so I wanted to explore them. Part of making these characters, my writing professor says is to make little bios about them. Readers don’t need to know about their favorite books or movies, but as long as the author knows it, it seeds in their subconscious what kind people each one is. So here are the little bios I made for each.
