Cynthia Drassilis
The ambitious fiancée of Peter Burns and instigator of many of the events of The Little Nugget, Cynthia is a tall, strikingly handsome girl, with clear white skin and pale gold hair, who carries herself magnificently. She also has a rather hard and cynical cast of countenance, and a cool sort of stylishness. Her simplicity of dress contrasts favourably with her mother's glittery tendencies, and she turns the head of many a man.
Having started Burns on his dangerous path, Cynthia spends much of the duration of The Little Nugget offstage, on a yachting cruise in the Mediterranean, appearing only via correspondence, and we later only hear from her mother of her growing attachment to Lord Mountry.
