I suppose I should have included the user names. Monty is threecardmonty. He's been here 2 years. Rajat is manyfaceted. He just arrived. Sophie here is onlytolerable. She's the only one other than Katya he might know.

I'm not sure how he'd know her, but she's from an ancient old Diamond family. She had been an eight and then four years ago had a spectacular fall from 8 to 5 within one week. There was some scandal about that he may or may not remember. Her opponents had all been her sisters, who she basically refused to fight. She's a bit shy outside of her zone of comfort (her library and topics she knows) and will blush at the drop of a hat. Her handlers didn't allow her out of their sight very often while she was growing up.

Monty is a former con artist who doubles as a spy gardener/handyman and can be found just about anywhere. He's American.

Rajat is Indian but grew up in both India and Britain. He's the Diamond's doctor.

And Katya thinks it's terrible whenever anyone is a good boy though (sigh) as Queen now she keeps those opinions to herself.
