Always feel free to drop me an email (bunnybeaner at gmail) to work out details! I can be like three times as verbose as this post already is. :D

  • Character: Felix Harrowgate

  • The following is permissible to deduce: Felix was not raised as posh and well-to-do as he presents himself currently; he was neglected and hurt as a child; he was educated specifically to present himself otherwise. He is very much afraid his past will be uncovered, and he is terribly afraid of becoming someone's scapegoat/slave/victim. Also, his right eye is almost completely blind.

  • Clues or evidence to this exist as: Felix's speech is very precise, and he over-enunciates to preserve an upper-class accent. He startles easily, anticipates violent reactions from others, and moves like he's afraid he'll be hurt if he places his feet incorrectly. His obvious desire for attention makes it pretty clear that he was starved for attention at some point in his life. Incessant flirtation could indicate some of his past neglect and abuse was sexual in nature. Felix unconsciously tries to control everything around him rather than be controlled, himself, again.

  • The following is not permissible to deduce: That he's a wizard/can do magic (unless Sherlock learns about magic some other way). The details of his past -- child thief, child prostitute, educated by the world's most evil Henry Higgins figure -- would be rather a stretch.
