# Aileen Moffatt — Lady Rose’s Daughter character guide

> Aileen Moffatt in Lady Rose’s Daughter by Mary Augusta Ward.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** little Aileen, Aileen, Moffatt

**First appearance:** 0000-i

## Snapshot

A convent-raised heiress who fell in love with the first man to court her, Aileen embodies the sheltered innocence and fortune that make her a prize in the marriage market.

## Who they are

Aileen belongs to the wealthy Moffatt family, and her money is the quiet engine behind Warkworth's calculations even as her guardians watch him with suspicion. She knows nothing of the world and loves him with a child-angel's simplicity, which makes her both pitiable and useful to a man weighing affection against fortune. Her existence forces Julie to confront what Warkworth is really choosing, and her innocence sharpens the moral stakes of the novel's central triangle.
