I would like to mention that Ada Byron was a real person, and is more well known by her married name, Ada Lovelace. For those who might not have heard of her, she was the first computer scientist, an early mad scientist, and the namesake of Madblood’s A.I.
More or less correct, but not precisely. Her married name was Augusta Ada King; she was Countess of Lovelace. But she was very much known, even in her lifetime, as “Ada Lovelace”. (She was apparently named Augusta after Byron’s half-sister, Augusta Leigh, but no-one seems to have used that name. Given the rumours rife at the time about the nature of the relationship between Byron and his sibling, that’s perhaps not entirely surprising.)
She became a mathematician as a result of Anne Byron, thoroughly put off literature by her ex-husband, steering her daughter as far away from poetry as possible.
