Hobbies
Sewing: Blythe has always been told she took after her grandmother who was the one to initially teach her how to sew. It started out with little things-- pillowcases, curtains, blankets--but the love for the craft blossomed as Blythe got older. Now she makes anything from curtains to full blown outfits for herself. She isn’t much of a designer, tending to opt for patterns available in stores, but sometimes an itch hits her and she will sit down and design something that she can alter off of a pattern. Before her grandmother passed away, for her grand-daughter’s 13th birthday, Blythe was given her own sewing machine. It's something completely dear to her heart and is the machine she prefers to use for most of her work now.
Feathers and Flight: Something about flying has always fascinated Blythe. As a child she fancied herself an aviator, much to her mother's consternation and disapproval, and while she never did pursue that dream as an adult, she has keepsakes to please her: fallen feathers, goggles, a bird feeder near a window so she can watch, and so on. Feathers, birds, and wings are often a motif she visits in her sewing.
Benefactoring: Perhaps an odd thing to call a hobby, but money passes and comes back to her hands so often, it might as well be. Blythe likes to connect with others and offer to fund projects, goals, and other interests that might benefit her. She has an economic flair for understanding stocks and comes from a wealthy family, and she'd rather see her investments be developed to help someone else--well, as long as she gets to benefit for helping out as well.
Virtues
Organized: Blythe is borderline OCD and she is A-OK with it. She likes things in a neat and orderly fashion, and that means she is quite the organizer. Clothes are color coated in her closet, fabrics are organized by color and type, any sort of tools she owns for her work is well organized, and her classroom is always s**c and span with everything having its place. Even papers are organized by size and purpose. Sure, some people can find it overbearing, but she thinks of it as perfection since she can find anything at anytime.
Sociable: As someone who likes to play benefactor (read: a young woman with a lot of money and too much time), she likes to walk among the flock and meet people. While usually shrewd with her funds, she likes to help others realize their dreams. Even if she can't, it's always good to be friendly to others - you never know what that contact might yield.
Hardworking: If Blythe commits herself to a project, it's gonna happen, one way or another. She'll pull strings or get the elbow grease going. It extends to friends as well, treating them (for better or for worse) like ongoing projects that she can help tune up and reach their full potential. She knows to toe the line between dedication and overexertion, balancing her life like she balances her checkbooks: with quiet and professional ease.
Flaws
Opportunistic: If something is available, she'll probably take advantage of it. Blythe's loyalties are hard to win because she's always looking for something that might be better than what she already has. The insecurity of not being the best makes her always watching for the next big thing. Maybe it's a general more to her taste, maybe it's that civilian who looks like they need a sponsor. Connections are a rare commodity she likes to bank with like money, and she's used to the come and go like a social stock exchange.
Controlling: If you want something done, do it yourself. And if you can't do that, backseat drive. Blythe likes to micromanage everything she's involved in, especially if it's in her niche interests. There's most likely a silent you're an idiot somewhere there. Even with people she actually trusts, she can't help but try to make sure they do it the way she wants it done.
Greedy: Money in particular is the key to her heart, but things of worth in general can make it on the list. Blythe may be upperclass, but that doesn't mean she's satisfied with what she has. Oh no, she always wants more - more dessert, more fabric of that particular design, more jewels, and so on. If she doesn't get what she thinks she needs, why, she'll be left behind by whoever got it instead!

Plus, don’t be fooled, some of the clothes she wears are made by her own hand!
