Anne Blunt

Anne Isabella Noel Blunt, 15th Baroness Wentworth (née King-Noel; 1837 – 1917), best known as Anne Blunt, was an English baroness, daughter of Ada Lovelace, and the sister of Byron Ockham.

Biography

Born to the mathematician Ada Lovelace and nobleman William King, Anne used to be called "Annabella" after her grandmother, Lady Byron. At the last years of her mother's life, she was immersed into high society but noticed the friendship between her mother and the acrobat Pierrette Arnaud. In 1860, Anne soon lost her grandmother and started to look for anyone who remembered her mother. In a year, she and her brother were invited to the home of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his partner Elizabeth Siddal in London, hosted by Arnaud.

At the party, Anne finally caught sight of Pierrette and started to talk with her about her late mother. In fact, Anne wanted to know if Arnaud had pieces of her work as to understand the innovations and ideas her mother came up. Unknown to Anne, her conversation was used to help Arnaud find any knowledge about Oscar Kane or anyone with any knowledge about him.

Aiding Pierrette

In 1869, Anne welcomed back Pierrette and announced her recent marriage. Yet, when Arnaud requested her help to host and invite Charles Augustus Howell, Anne admitted that she already invited him and ready to help her. That night, Anne hosted a game night along with Pierrette, Howell, and Evie Frye. Letting Howell win at whist, Anne and Pierrette changed tactic and swindle him out of his money. Wanting information, the women asked for information about why Siddal was exhumed. Despite some resistance, the women successfully interrogated Howell, who revealed that he found Ada's notebook inside her casket but a mysterious woman in white stole the book from him. After Howell left, Anne was thanked for her help before Pierrette left.

By 1880, Anne and Pierrette had regular meetings, once Arnaud was stationed back in England to follow business Templar leads. During their meeting, a sullen Anne showcased her new business of breeding horses and her new breed, the "Pegasi" to Pierrette, who noticed the timing of these new Arabian horses' existence with Hennighan's escape with the resurrected horse. Two years later, she later housed and allowed Pierrette to have her ward Spider Wallin work at her farm, Crabbet Farm. However, tensions rose after Spider took one of Anne's horse to help Pierrette save Queen Victoria. As a result, Spider fled from Pierrette and went missing. Months later, Anne later heard news of England bombing Alexandria and interrupted a meeting between Pierrette and George.

In 1889, Anne was called by Pierrette, who informed her that Spider had been found alive and is with her in Paris. Anne was then asked about anything she could remember from her mother's old notebook, but she could not recall. She was thanked for her help before Pierrette ended the call.
