Alas, your Count would not know her in his backstory, because Fuchsia is not, technically, from any place that fits with RL Earth history.

Gormenghast is a great castle-city in a shadowy time period reminiscent of any and every time within the 1600s-early 1900s. But Peake makes it very clear that the Gormenghast world is not 'our' world...when the title character (Titus) finds a portal from his world into 'ours' and gets very confused by what he finds.
However, certainly we might have your Count and my Countess meet via the Journal connections. I daresay his situation would be more familiar/understandable to Fuchsia than, say, the Babylon 5 crowd. ;) Although she's met them too, and has gone to some marvelous parties they've thrown.
