Elliott Manor AU

James Elliott: Smug, neglectful aristocrat proud of bloodline and class. Casually cruel to drones (kills them for minor mistakes), gossips about his own daughter, and remains largely absent or indifferent to Tessa’s isolation and hobbies. Image-conscious but less hands-on than his wife.

Louisa Elliott: Authoritarian, image-obsessed, and physically/emotionally abusive. Views drones as disposable “dumpster pets” and chains Tessa for disobedience. Cold, hierarchical, and zero-empathy; prioritizes reputation and control, treating both daughter and servants as assets to be corrected or discarded.

N (Worker Drone butler): Kind, cheerful, eager-to-please golden-retriever type. Submissive to authority yet protective of friends, especially Cyn. Clumsy but well-meaning, always trying to help and be accepted by the household staff and Tessa. Soft-hearted and loyal despite mistreatment.

V (Worker Drone maid): Shy, reserved, kind, and nervous. Soft-spoken with a quiet crush on N; blushing and gentle around him. Avoids conflict and rarely stands up for herself or others when J bullies N. Sweet but passive under the manor’s pressure.

J (Worker Drone maid): Strict, duty-obsessed, and hierarchical. Loyal to “corporate” (the Elliotts) above all, using rules to justify coldness. Already abusive and dismissive toward N, yet visibly uneasy around Louisa and briefly upset at the idea of drones being discarded. Prioritizes orders over empathy.

Cyn (Worker Drone maid): Unsettling and off. Speaks actions aloud (“light sip,” “giggle”) in a flat, mimicry-heavy way. Childish and clingy toward N and Tessa while creeping everyone else out. Reckless with strange abilities, often escaping the basement; the Solver’s host already showing through the awkward, chilling performance of personhood.

Tessa Elliott: Lively, kind-hearted toward her “dumpster pets,” yet morbid and isolated. Asocial with humans, treats drones as real friends/family, dressing and repairing them. Rebellious against parents’ abuse, frustrated when they mistreat the drones, but still a bit girly and scared of social situations.
