Tale:
Winifred (Or Winnie, as she prefers to be called) was a product of love. Unusual for nobles, but it was years before she knew that. Her parents were a large influence on her, from how they ran their business to how they handled the good and bad times in their relationship. Winnie knew that she would have no less, and although she had quite a few advantageous offers for her hand (she was quite a dish in her youth), she picked an older man that others would have deemed rather plain in looks, and not much better off than where she began. But he was the one that won her heart and no other man would catch her eye. They wed after a scandalously short engagement. There was talk of her being in the family way, and that was why the wedding had to be rushed, but their first child was not born until a year and a half after their wedding day. They ended up having seven children that survived childhood, and she considers the years raising them with her husband some of the happiest of her life. But as children do, they grew up, she helped them find suitable spouses, and one by one, they were all married off. With no other children to match, she decided to branch out and start her own business in helping others find their own happiness. After all, it seemed a lot of the Lorendalers needed help in that region! So at the age of fifty, she branched out from her husband's business that she' be assisting with and started her matchmaking business (and occasional fertility consultant). Five years into her business, her husband passed due to illness. In her grief, she threw herself into her work.
