Here is Jeds Character, some questions

Why is she unmarried? Women are typically forced to marry by society, an admirer or her relatives. Some reason why she is unmarried would be helpful. At default assume, she was but it is learned she was barren. This embarrassed her husbands family and they filed for annulment. You are free to make up your own reason.
Quirks? 5 distinguishing habits, or marks that make her stand out.
Stage Name or Real Name?
Flesh out the background. Feel free task about more about any historical details that might help.
flesh out her motivations, figure out what is her day to day conflict and what keeps her from marrying again or attaching herself to some man as a mistress. Very strong motivations are usually attached to independence.

Feel free modify her. I'll come up with my own version based on this. (will update probably next week)
