Tall dark, and handsome, Frederick Tilney fits the mold as Kitty’s dream guy. Plus he’s rich to boot which is sure to make Mrs. Bennet happy. An avid photographer and budding auteur, Frederick takes his craft seriously, making sure everyone understands the high-faultin’ meaning of his art. Especially since his critical father disapproves of his choice in vocation. He seeks his praise elsewhere, bedding as many women who can soothe his moody heart.

His primary subject- the standards of what society considers beautiful and its evolution.

It’s a flattering line when he asks Kitty to be a model for him, and she’s thrilled to get into a glimpse of his world of luxury, and prestige, and remain the beauty of his eye.
