What kind of people are the love interests?

From the store page:
“Find love with a dreamy artist, a former neighbor with a taste for rebellion, a dashing clubmate with a flair for the dramatic (and for golden trousers), or even your own servant!”
The artist and the servant are M/F variable selectable gender; the dashing clubmate is M, and the former neighbor is F.

I don’t know if this is random BUT did anyone noticed that Milicent, Regina, and Trina are ALL albino and are involved in secret societies 
Like, I’m starting to think that all super competent employers in the Cadbury club are all albinos and they have a secret club called, "The White lie / The White death " or something. A place where all competent albino servants just gossip and also protect their employers. Kinda like the Inner Circle. Except, Albino

Honestly, I thought only Trina was an albino, and the other ladies just old (I’m sorry, inner circle ladies! Please don’t arrange for my social death! 
).

My goodness 
I would like to say that but you’ve unfortunately dug your own grave now that you mentioned it in the forums. Hopefully, the ladies would be kind to you in your execution.

They’ll feed bits of my remains to exotic prize animals!

Isn’t that a merciful death? Anyways, I pray for your good soul they don’t know about the internet or how to use it
Albinism is usually not hereditary, isn’t it?
Actually, speaking of Inner Circle and exotic animals: Do anyone else here think that Pilcrow is part of it? Honestly, the whole thing about how she convinced MC to setting up chairs so they can qualify to become Noble Gases prez without the 10-year experience, and how she can stop Fitzie from stealing the condemnation letters if we talked to her in chapter 3 kinda made me think she’s more influential than she presents herself as.
I’m hoping she is because it means she and Regina has a non-zero chance of interacting, and therefore a non-zero chance where they had talk about Shambles and Merle together.

Oh my gosh, I thought the same thing! I specifically remember the author mentioning Trina’s reddish eyes behind her dark glasses and I don’t remember that in the descriptions of the other ladies and now I just wonder if I’m racist towards albinos.
No but seriously, how is Regina riding motorbikes in the sun without covering herself head to toe first? I know it’s the UK, but their summer sun gave my Indian skin a ridiculous tan.

Wait, so she’s a secret spy planted there by the inner circle so they can know what the idle chaps are doing and how they can stop them from embarrassing themselves?! 
That sounds a bit too saucy, doesn’t it?
I guess that’s my fault . There’s not a lot of concrete evidence behind Millicent and Regina being albino but they don’t strike me as very old ladies.

I second this headcanon! Pilcrow is definitely Inner Circle–her sneakiness in manipulating club politics, her extraordinary soothing quality, and her skill in… everything, should make her more than worthy!
I’m not too sure about Millicent, but Regina has a white bob (if you meet her when you miss the train, it mentions that!). But that might be due to her age + high stress… I remember her being in her 50s according to Gower in a very, very old post in the Tally Ho thread.

Ooh… I think I might have skimmed that part since it’s been so long since I’ve played Tally Ho . But, man it must be hard on her joints if she had to do all that in her 50s.

I think Gower mentioned somewhere that Trina is, in fact, an albino. (Found it!)
Maybe. I think it’s a fun headcannon to have, but I think Pilcrow might just be a hyper-competent club servant, in the usual Cadbury Club vein, which forms a contrast to Fitzie. I thought that the Inner Circle usually banded together to stop dartardly crimes, and Pilcrow mostly seems to go the opposite way, working a simpler job as the Gases’ bartender. I think she’d qualify if she tried, though! Pilcrow is one of those characters that I’d want to see more of in the sequel, it’s fun keeping a tenuous control over the club with her.
How did you get her to stop Fitzie from stealing the letters, by the way? I don’t think I’ve ever found that particular thread. This game really is layers upon layers, huh.

Okay, so, on the way to Cadbury Club with the table, Fitzie will tell you about their letters of condemnation and ask for your help with stealing/causing a distraction. Refusing to participate means MC will return to Noble Gases alone and there they’ll be asked by Pilcrow what happened. MC can then tell Pilcrow about the attempted theft and she’ll offer to help resolve this.

I know this is sudden but : does anyone know how old the characters in Jolly Good are?

I’m sure @Gower will have a better grasp of the ages, like he did for Tally Ho, but they all seem comparatively younger in this one.

That what I thought too ! Vyv, Tabby and MC striked me as young and the oldest I can see them is mid 20s but besides them I don’t exactly have a good grasp of their age. Cold be wrong though…

Let me think of some other characters…
-Ernie seems to be in his early 50s
-Pilcrow seems more of a late 30s
-The Noblest Gas is the oldest member in the club but is still fairly active… I’d say early 70s
-Marmaduke is around the MC’s age
-Aunt Matilda seems like she’s in her early 60s
-Uncle Cholmondley is more in his late 60s
-All of the recurring Tally Ho characters are their previous ages plus the amount of time transpired between the two stories

True, but it’s a very small gap I think. Since, Jolly Good took place one year after Tally Ho.
The characters who I have the hardest time pinpointing their age are Fitzie, MC, Gilberto and Milicent. I have a habit of imagining characters in a way which may not necessarily allign with their description so my interpretations can be mostly wrong but, I think Gilberto and Fitzie are the oldest in the main group. Gilberto being early 30s or late 20s while Fitzie is around their early to lates 20s.
Millicent never stricked me as old but she doesn’t seem young so I personally place her as “older than they look”.
MC is the one who confuses me the most since they seem to be the type of person who makes stupid decisions because they have little life experiences and just recently became an adult or had their first dose of freedom.(Plus, the fact their allowance are still managed by their aunt until they’re old enough) But, if you pick the ball background then one of their college friends have already experienced balding. (But, balding doesn’t always correlate to age as it can either be genetics or stress).

I’ve tried to be pretty vague about ages, because I think you can read the Noble Gases as anywhere in the 20s or 30s, but who can say how old Toppers or Ernie is? Sometimes I picture the Noblest Gas in his 90s. But there’s no evidence one way or the other. Vyv I think we can pinpoint most clearly as 20s if we like, although not for any particular reason other than that’s when we might expect them to be studying for the law. But if we assume Vyv is early 20s, that makes the MC the same age, which puts Marmaduke and Tabby around the same age too.
Though I could also imagine an older Vyv who dragged their feet and delayed their studies. An early 20s Fitzie is about right as well.
As for baldness, I have a close friend who began serious balding at 22. So even that clue doesn’t help much too.
In sum, then, who knows?
Parsnip, though, is nine. I think that is the only age I gave straight out.
