:( The relevant person here is Becky Sharp.

Thackeray has Rosalind using their as a polite circumlocution, perhaps avoiding the directness of she ... her, and generic his in a context involving only women ; or perhaps with Rosalind meaning the statement to apply to people in general with Becky Sharp as an example.

Thackeray began as a satirist and parodist, writing papers with a sneaking fondness for roguish upstarts like Becky Sharp in Vanity Fair and the title characters of The Luck of Barry Lyndon and Catherine.

In The Luck of Barry Lyndon, a novel serialised in Fraser's in 1844, Thackeray explored the situation of an outsider trying to achieve status in high society, a theme which he developed more successfully in Vanity Fair with the character of Becky Sharp, the artist's daughter who rises nearly to the heights by manipulating the other characters.

It also features his most memorable character, the engagingly roguish Becky Sharp.

The story opens with Miss Pinkerton's Academy for Young Ladies, where the protagonists Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley have just completed their studies and are preparing to depart for Amelia's house in Russell Square.

Now, Becky Sharp says farewell to Sedley's family and enters the service of the crude and profligate baronet Sir Pitt Crawley, who has engaged her as a governess to his daughters.

While Becky Sharp is rising in the world, Amelia's father, John Sedley, is bankrupted.

Rawdon, the younger of the two Crawley sons, is an empty-headed cavalry officer who is his wealthy aunt's favourite until he marries Becky Sharp, who is of a far lower class.

Obese and self-important but very shy and insecure, he is attracted to Becky Sharp but circumstances prevent him from proposing.

His intent may have been to entrap the Victorian reader with their own prejudices and make them think the worst of Becky Sharp even when they have no proof of her actions.

At the novel's beginning, Becky Sharp is a bright girl with an eye to improving her lot through marrying up the social scale ; though she is thoroughly unsentimental, she is nonetheless portrayed as being a good friend to Amelia.

The character of Becky Sharp is based in part on Thackeray's maternal grandmother Harriet Becher.
