The Gentleman

in notes's
Legacy
In canon Worm, The Gentleman was nothing more than a passing mention in a list of Elite leaders. In Legacy, The Gentleman was characterized with the style and grace typical for notes. An actor who supposedly retired from public life after the NEPEA bill was passed and couldn't work in the industry anymore. Now, he's an influential skill-based cape in an influential position in the Elite.

Alexandria / Rebecca Costa-Brown

in LD1449's
The Weaving Force
As a advisor to the Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore. I love how she brings out her inner PRT director at the beginning of Episode 2, with the increased security and checks, and how she goes up against Doku during the debate, and just her character in general.
