Her brothers were given an inheritance by their father for them to go off and create thriving businesses of their own, and with the Blackwood name to back them up it was no surprise that they all succeeded. While her brothers were given freedom and money Dahlia was brought back home after her final school year and was put immediately out on the marriage market.ĭragged along to every high-class party and ball Dahlia was shown off to all potential suitors in attendance like a prize pig, her father not caring much for the age or disposition of the men in question.
The pure favouritism of her parents shown in what happens when each of their children come of age.

When she was younger, she used to sneak out of her bedroom to play with her brothers whom she could hear having fun through her floorboards, but after being bullied mercilessly by them all and left for hours alone all night in the guise of a game of ‘hide and seek’ she gave up on finding friendship with her brothers. Where her brothers were allowed to roam the halls as they pleased Dahlia was kept to her bedroom and school room. Living in a large Victorian manor house on the outskirts of Boston, her home boasted many rooms, but to Dahlia it only had a handful. Constantly reminded of her lesser gender, Dahlia grew up thinking of herself as a second class citizen, even despite her family's wealth and the weight her surname possessed. The Blackwoods had made their fortune in the oil business, an oil tycoon Dahlia’s father WILLIAM BLACKWOOD made more money in the time it took him to stroll to the shops than she, a lowly girl, could ever dream of making in her lifetime.
