Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann wrote this in her journal on December 1, 2276, 45 days after the birth of Lady Samhain, "It has been 45 days since I gave birth to my darling Lady Samhain. She is so unlike her oldest sister, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane who is so much like her father, Lord Andrew Charles. One is so haughty and proud, and the other is so humble, reverent, and sweet."
"I know that Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard will govern one day after her father, but her time has yet to come."
"However, Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard was created Duchess of Clarence Territory in the name of her late paternal great-great-great-grandfather, Lord Patrick William Howard to whom I can relate to as we suffered a similar fate."
