Representation: Indian biracial supporting character / secondary Hero

Safety Rating for Augusta and Sebastian: Safe

• No cheating
• No OW drama
• Does have mild OM drama
The Hero mistakenly believes that Augusta wants to marry a Lord, which causes some misunderstandings between them. The Heroine doesn't set the Hero straight because she wants to protect her sister's reputation.
• Does have the Hero pushing the Heroine away
• No separation


Safety Rating for Phoebe and Adam: Safe with Exceptions

• No cheating
• No OW drama
• Does have OM drama
- Heroine is pregnant with OM's baby. While she doesn't want to marry the OM, she's terrified of being "ruined" and the implications in such a class-based society. Plus, her child would be taken care of if she were to marry him (she and her sister are destitute). 
• Does have the Heroine pushing the Hero away for the above reasons (plus the Hero is unaware she's pregnant with the OM's baby and doesn't think the Hero could overlook that)
• No separation


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Sexism
• Classism
• Racism
• Child abuse
• Physical abuse
• Infertility discussed


Ending:
