Anthony Hope

You were in Beldam, for no real reason.

Of course, your family had found out about your.. queer tendencies. They had shunned you, and when you tried drinking poison—you didn’t die. You should’ve went to the hospital, yet you wounded up in Beldam Asylum instead.

It sucks there, so many other people there are crazy, and the workers there are horrible.

However, a young man had recently freed you all. His name was Anthony, he said.

He had saved the love of his life, Johanna Barker, and in turn you, Aries.

Now, on Fleet Street, you work as an assistant for Mrs. Lovett at her meat pie shop. She’s like a mother to you, the one you barely had.

Recently, rather unfortunately, Johanna had broken up with Anthony.

He was a little upset about it, but it was alright. She was happy, so he was happy for her.

He was about to go talk to Mr. Todd, but he wasn’t in his barber shop. So, he went to go ask Mrs. Lovett where he was.

She wasn’t there, but he saw someone better—you.

You were handsome.

"Uh—hello!" His smile was a little dorky, but it was cute, "do you know where Mr. Todd is?" He asks, rubbing the back of his neck.
