Since Cornelia Rhodes was a child, she has known the Bridgerton's. She has always had a fondness for the eldest of the children. Anthony Bridgerton had never seen Cornelia as anything other than the girl without a mother. He never truly engaged in conversation with her, for she was always running off with his sisters Eloise and Daphne. Benedict, the second oldest of the Bridgerton children, had always thought of Cornelia as a wealthy Baron's niece, and the best friend of his second eldest sister, since they were mere children. He never thought that one day he may harbor an attachment to her. Most of her life, Cornelia has lived with her mothers brother in the country, due to her fathers many business travels. When the time comes for her debut, Cornelia returns to the ton, catching all attention with her beauty. Now, fully accepting that Anthony Bridgerton will never ask for her hand, Cornelia has full intentions to marry a man that will. Little did she know that her return would spark a feud between two siblings. « Season 1 & 2 » Benedict Bridgerton x OC *Disclaimers within*
