She is the stepsister of Kate and daughter of Lady Mary. Edwina is the one who came to London to find a match, as per her sister's wishes. She ends up falling for and getting engaged to Anthony Bridgerton — until things take a turn.

She was high in London society until she married a clerk who already had one child (Kate's father). Before marrying him, her parents (Lord and Lady Sheffield) made her choose between her family and her heart. She ends up choosing her heart and gets abandoned by her parents. 

After her husband died, she worries for her daughters and their future, which is why they decide to come to London. We see in the end that she stands up for her daughters and is always set on doing what she feels is best. 

4. Lord and Lady Sheffield

The parents of Lady Mary Sheffield Sharma who abandoned her after her marriage choice. Kate arranges with them to give the Sharma's a lot of money if Edwina marries someone whom they consider good.

6. Tessa

In art class, Benedict Bridgerton meets Tessa. She originally was just seen as the model who was being drawn, but we find out she does it to get art school experience. At the time, women were not allowed to go to art school, so she does this to learn as best she can. She and Benedict end up being attracted to one another, and she reveals that she knows that Anthony paid for his art school entry.

8. Lord Featherington

After the passing of Lord Featherington, the Featheringtons were waiting around for the new Lord Featherington to take over. While he seems like a nice guy at the beginning — and he does do his best to take care of the family — we end up seeing that he's riddled with secrets. 

In the end, he and Lady Featherington come up with a scheme of which he ends up having to leave town after everyone finds out (and she seems to get off scot-free). 

9. Newton

While he doesn't exactly have speaking points, Newton (the Sharmas' dog) is an adorable addition.
