My (your) favorite spy

impulsereaderVery happily, the Much Ado sequence is beginning to gel in my head. Apparently my brain has self-preservation protocols built in which held off on this until I was done and had safely posted the first bit (being TSP woo hoo!). I can now begin working on the important bit while I use the Baker Street Interludes as caramelly-centred snack breaks.
This year (the Much Ado year) we are all about spies. In fact, in late-breaking news from the invisible being whispering into my brain: John paused, shook his head slightly in disbelief. “Hang on,” he said, “are you saying there’s a spy convention going on down the village?” “Well, I don’t believe they name it as such,” Mycroft sniffed, “but essentially, yes.”
I have plenty of competent investigators on the ground (J&S, Lestrade & Martin [Competent!Martin, yes, really] Hannay & Arbuthnot, Claude & Grandmere [yup, French Resistance] and Not Anthea [to whom I may need to issue a name this time around]) each of whom I need to give a plot line. So what I really need are some spies. Please feel free to fill out some or all of the requested criteria. Partially-filled info will serve as super secret mystery spy inspiration, so don’t be afraid to just flail round a bit. As always, I’m also open to *cough* borrowing an entire character if you have a favourite to offer up rather than making up someone new. In fact, take any character you’d like to see, and give them some motivation to become a spy!
**Do please note all spies are likely to be baddies; you don’t have to specify evil motivations, but don’t be surprised when your spy is thwarted within the story.**
Please feel free to submit as many spies as you like. The more spies the better!

Date: 2012-09-09 02:36 am (UTC)Alias: The Headmistress
Country of employ: Russia
Country of actual employ if other than above:
Country of actual actual employ if different from either of above:
Gender: Female
Age: She is timeless, and it would be presumptuous to say otherwise.
Motivation (read as, why he/she became a spy - could be accidental): She has a terrible fondness for nice things, beyond what her official income can support.
Weapon of choice: The right word in the right ear.
Gadget of choice: The Jura Impressa J9.3 One Touch TFT. No, it has nothing to do with spying, but a great deal to do with her motivation.
Vehicle of choice (air, sea, land, etc.): Black cab. Whatever other travel arrangements are made, chances are that the words "first class" will be somewhere in the description.
Opinion on 007 (please specify incarnation): All versions of James Bond are so horribly déclassé that she would never admit to any amount of familiarity.
Reason for wanting to attend our convention (read as, travel to England): She lives in London already. She would like to familiarize herself with the features of the latest bugs and wiretapping equipment. More importantly, she needs somewhere inconspicuous to get away from her relatives.
Medical condition (if any): Migraines at the slightest suggestion she should spend the holidays with her family.
General demeanour: Haughty.
Ultimate goal: Professional: To know where all the bodies are buried and obtain substantial remuneration for that information.
Ultimate goal: Personal: To outlive her parents and recover from their sincere pity. They express no pride in her career because they're too busy feeling sorry for her, poor thing, who had to have a career instead of a husband to take care of her.
Plot line you would like to see if I can manage it: One parent or set of parents follows her, wanting to privately make a case for the acceptance of their child into her school. Your call how they try to do this — money? power? chocolate? sex? And how does it throw off her timing, trying to accomplish her ends while still not making a bad impression on these people who might talk about her or even blackmail her?
Other notes/observations (go wild!): She runs a very prestigious school, one that makes parents very competitive when trying to get their child accepted. This gives her the chance to monitor a lot of gossip, know the comings and goings of various important parents, and from time to time pick up information from the unguarded speech of children. She has bugs, wire taps, and informants of her own. People assume that her desire to know what is happening with whom and when stems from a desire to maintain the prestige and image of the school.
