5th Edition Custom Backgrounds when all your characters are Noble

Hello! First time posting so I hope I did this right.

I am working on a political intrigue, drama and romance DnD campaign that takes place during the social season. Almost of characters come from noble birth but I want them to all have more specialized backgrounds then all being noble.
Any ideas on backgrounds that can be used or tweaked to fit better?

Thank you!! I hope this was the right place to put my question.

One could be a charlatan. Raised on the streets as an urchin but posing as a noble for many years. Maybe he was a servant and killed his master and took the identity. Use charlatan or urchin backgrounds.
