## History

### Before the story

As a child, Venus and her mother were repeatedly abused by Frederick, although her mother took most of the hits. Around the age of nine, Rosemary passes away due to a miscarriage, after repeatedly being told by a doctor that she shouldn't get pregnant again. Venus was greatly disturbed by this event but Frederick seemed almost unmoved and pushed all of her mother's old responsibilities onto her. Frederick also attempts to sexually abuse Venus but she fights back and he backs off. She's also unaware of a mistress that Frederick is seeing.

### Prologue

Venus and Frederick are separately shopping in the town market when they are both introduced to Calvin Makin, a rich businessman from London. He states that he's looking for a potential wife who he will take with him to America and Frederick introduces Venus to him. He immediately takes a liking to her and so Frederick decides to invite him over for a final decision.

### Story Summary

At the meeting, Frederick takes a liking to Calvin and agree's to let him marry Venus for a decent amount of money to retire. Venus packs up her things and gets picked up the next day. She avoids Calvin's advances as much as she can and really starts to despise being with him. When they leave for the dock, Calvin tells Venus to go on ahead while he goes to gamble to grab such extra cash. He, of course, doesn't make it back on time and the ship departs without him. On board, Venus is introduced to Mac, a man that somehow got onto the ship by confusing the stewards. He ends up staying in the same room as Venus because he signed in as Calvin "Macin", she instantly takes a disliking to him and is bothered by his presence. They don't really speak much until Gerald helps give Mac the confidence to pursue Venus after expressing his newly found attraction towards her. They speak on the bow of the ship for awhile and talk about why they're on board and she tells Mac that she's soon to be married. Later that night, Venus finds out Calvin was taking a smaller ship to get to America to meet her there. She has a mental breakdown and attempts to kill herself by using rat poison that the stewards left unattended. Mac stops her and distracts her from her feelings and manages to save her life in the process. They start to get to know each other after this and become close over the following weeks.

They decide after the ship docks, they're going to elope together and start a family

## Relationships

### Rosemary

Venus's relationship with her mother was a short but meaningful one. She felt safe when she was with her mother and learned a lot about life because of her. She taught Venus to cook, clean, sew, and a number of other things she would need to survive after she would pass. Rosemary left Venus a number of things, and a letter written for her a few nights before she died, knowing full well she wouldn't survive her labor delivery. Venus ends up finding this letter in the pocket of her mother's coat when she's unpacking in Georgia. It wishes her well and gives her some closure and the ability to move on.

### Frederick

Throughout Venus's young life, Frederick was a constant thorn in her side, beating her, and verbally abusing her relentlessly. He even at one points attempts to sexually assault her, but she fights back and he doesn't try it again. She's forced to do all the chores around the house and does the farming after her mother dies. Their relationship is very tense and both dislike each other a great amount.

### Mac

Mac and Venus are the definition of opposites attract. Their personalities complement each other well. When they first meet, Venus denies any kind of contact with Mac but over time starts to grow increasingly attracted to the young man. After they get married and have George, they get to know each other more and can fully open up and rely on one another. They often went on dates and performed their personal hobbies together, so they were basically attached at the hip.

### Broccoli

Venus often feels uncomfortable and untrusting around Broccoli, even when they've known each other for quite a while. She senses something about him that she can't really place and only ever confronts him once or twice. She only puts up with him because he's Mac's best friend.

### Suzanna

Venus and Suzanna go way back. Their mothers met when Rosemary first arrived to England with Frederick and her mother helped her with her English. After Rosemary died Venus would run to Suzanna's mother occasionally until she passed away as well. Suzanna and Venus became very close after this since they had something in common that not a lot of people could relate to. Over time Suzanna began to feel attracted towards Venus but she always had her eyes on other men, like Stewart, and Suzanna's brother. She hints to Venus a few times but she doesn't fully understand. Eventually she gives up her hopes and marry's a gay man who's in the same situation. She never fully gets over her crush though and dies with it.

### Stewart

Stewart lives at the farm next to Venus's in Blackpool and he is her oldest friend. He would take her fishing on the weekends with him, and they were generally very close. Venus started to develop feelings for him, but he didn't return them and only thought of her as a friend. After Venus leaves England, Stewart is arranged to marry a woman from Ireland, named Eleanor. Once Venus meets up with Stewart again in America, she is immediately jealous of Stewarts wife and dislikes her very much. Even though they remain friends, Venus still has a longing for him, deep down.
