Olivia Somerset: Difference between revisions

[[Lady]] '''Olivia Somerset''' was the daughter of the [[Duke]] of [[Somerset]] in the [[16th century]]. In [[1590]], disguised as a young man named Harry Peerless and posing as [[Sir]] [[Malcome Canker]]'s servant, she was a member of the [[English]] delegation sent to [[the Moon]] in [[Iris Wildthyme]]'s [[Celestial Omnibus|TARDIS]] to open diplomatic relations with the [[Lunary|Lunaries]]. She was secretly the real ambassador while Sir [[Jack Fuller]] served as a distraction for England's rivals. While negotiating an alliance with Lady [[Phoebe]], who was similarly in disguise as a male named Phoebus, they entered into a romantic relationship which was condemned by Canker for its apparent [[homosexuality]]. Both Iris and her companion [[Thomas Daley|Tom]] found "Harry" attractive, but she turned down both their advances. Tom later accidentally discovered her true gender, but agreed to keep it secret. The true genders and identities of Lady Somerset and Phoebe were later publically revealed at the reception celebrating the alliance between England and the Lunaries.
