The Academy, Revealed
~The Sisters Grimmer~
Merchant and Academy of Fine Domestics
“What gift do you think a good servant has that separates them from the others? It's the gift of anticipation.”
- Gosford Park
In this chaotic existence, it is a rare thing to be able to absolutely depend on another for even the smallest of items. You, with your active life and assiduous nature, require someone who is on par with your own natural capability and competency, to take on those tasks better suited to a quality domestic. We at The Sisters Grimmer understand your needs and desires, and are expressly devoted to providing you with the finest in servitors for any and all purposes.
The Academy has been in operation since 1806, and its uncompromising ideals are still upheld as rigorously as they were more than two centuries ago. We invite you now to learn more about the Sisters Grimmer and its exemplary curriculum and stock.
Initial Selection
Our domestics are chosen from the best in breeding and name. Each candidate is selected from a well-adjusted, upper-class family and is always screened for any possible health defects. They have been educated in private institutions and raised with an innate sense of decorum and propriety. Although our domestics vary greatly in accordance to our clients' specific desires, they all have a commonality of being choicest stock.
Instatement
After being selected, the domestics are brought to the Academy and immediately entered into what we call Elementary Training. Here, they learn obeisance, first and foremost. They also are submitted to endurance training for both body and mind. There is also a lengthy and exhaustive screening process through which we determine what Breed they will become. You will find more information on the various Breeds below. Elementary Training typically lasts six months .
Main Curriculum
Once Elementary Training is complete and we have a sure idea of where each domestic should be placed, they enter into Principal Training. Here, they learn the skills of their Breed and become perfectly conditioned to their roles. For those clients who have specially requested a certain type of domestic not offered in our usual Breeds, this is the time we begin shaping the selected stock to meet the client’s desires. Depending on the Breed and talent of the stock, Principal Training typically lasts from eight months to one year.
Exit Audit
Once Principal Training has finished, our domestics are available for purchase. After the initial arrangements are made with a client, we require a comprehensive questionnaire to be filled out by the buyer. This document is then used as a guideline for the last stage of training, Quality Calibration. Our domestics are tailored in behavior, appearance, skill and knowledge on a more intimate and personal level for their owner-to-be. Quality Calibration typically lasts two-to-four weeks.
The Sisters Grimmer Breeds
We have five basic Breeds which can, of course, be adjusted and fashioned to fit any client’s wants and needs. These are merely the archetypes and help determine where to focus of each domestic’s training will be. Each Breed has several subsets which will be detailed to you after you have chosen one of the five. If none of the main Breeds fits your needs, you are invited to contact us with your specific wants and we will accommodate them.
Executive
The Executive Breed is ideal for those in the business world. Our Executives are trained in clerical and secretarial duties, public speaking, business etiquette, efficiency, administrative assistance, computers, business style and finance. They are confident, discreet, remarkably well-organized and professional.
Carnal
The Carnal Breed is specifically for those clients who desire a sexual relationship with their domestic. The Carnals are trained in masochism, tantra, the Karma Sutra, massage, erotic dance, in-depth bondage & discipline knowledge and are primed for heightened sexual response. They are graceful, tender, wanton, beautiful and abject.
Downstairs
The Downstairs Breed is the epitome of household service, and perfect for those clients wishing a domestic in their home. The Downstairs’ are trained in household management, culinary art, bartending, hospitality, interior design, cleaning, and are taught the classical butler, ladies’ maid and major domo skills circa 1900-1940. They are proper, unobtrusive, quiet, sensible and immaculate.
Sentinel
The Sentinel Breed is paramount in security and bodyguard skills, best suited to any client who desires the acme in protection and personal safety. The Sentinels are trained in martial arts, firearms, melee combat, driving, heightened reflexes, brawling and emergency procedures. They are dexterous, strong, fiercely loyal, alert and brave.
Factotum
The Factotum Breed is a blend of all four Breeds. Teasingly called ‘mutts’ here at the Academy, the Factotums have no direct specialization but are, instead, trained to be utterly adaptable to any situation placed before them by their owner and to have basic skills as Executives, Carnals, Downstairs’ and Sentinels. This is the only Breed without subsets, but it is also the Breed most responsive to training by its owner.
