Slave to Aunt Jocasta

More from Spoilers

Phaedre is a slave during the fourth book, although one with an unknown secret. Claire and Jamie will meet the young girl while at Jocasta’s plantation, Hector and Jocasta Cameron were master and mistress to Phaedre’s mother, Betty That would ordinarily make Phaedre the same, but this is where the secret comes into play.

It turns out Phaedre is Hector’s illegitimate and secret daughter. However, Jocasta knows all about her true paternity, so rather than treating her like a usual slave, Phaedre is kept at the house. This isn’t a benefit for Phaedre, but more of a way for Hector to consistently remember about his affair.

As long as the show sticks to the books, we can expect to see more of Phaedre in the seasons to come. That means more from the talented Simpson.
