{ HISTORY }
⚜ ⚜ ⚜ ⚜ ⚜

{Pulled from Brian’s old profile.}

Birthplace: Queensport
Childhood: “Fleur spent most, if not all of her life within the safety of the walls around Queensport. Never knowing the need for anything as she got everything she could have ever asked for. She had a pleasant childhood, having a passion for both learning and music, she quickly learned all that she needed.”
Teen Years: “It wasn’t until her teen years that she began to know the extent of the curse upon her family that had been whispered behind closed doors. Starting with Serafina, her passing seemed to set in motion the gears that would be Fleur’s families undoing. An attack on Queensport, the death of her father, the death of Maceo, she was unsure what could be done to save the family. But she knew she must do something, she had to keep fighting, she couldn’t let their memory die with the rest of their family. And that is when we begin.”


BEFORE:
+ Born in Queensport.
+ In her early teens, the war against the cultists and demons in the City began. Her father was brutally killed , crushed under rubble, and she was held captive by a cultist, who held a knife to her throat. Syr Varyn saved her, and she watched him decapitate the Jishrimite and throw him over the balcony.
+Plagued by nightmares.
+They gradually go away as she tries her best to forget what had happened.
AFTER:
+ Attended the coronation of Kaiser Audwine I and Kaiserin Josephine I.
+ Spoke to Maceo about reviving the Branch du Cheval.
+Traveled to Queensport to speak to Duchess Elizabeth about rebuilding her father's manor in the city.
+Maceo grants her rights to the Branch du Cheval once more, making her the Matriarch of the Branch du Cheval.
+ Attended Berndt Ebberhall's funeral.
+ She learns of Marie taking Maceo's child and fleeing.
+ She is made acting Castellan of Ackerland and provided control of Berndt's old keep.
+ Wrote to Carlos to let him know of his disownment.
+ Spoke to Syr Varyn in Queensport about her father's death. It has brought back a flood of unwanted memories, and her horrible nightmares have returned.
+ Spoke to Maceo about the future after Marie returned.

+ Met Prince Albrecht and an old acquaintance, Warren. Had longs talks with them both.
+ On a ride with the Soldier Warren, a bandit attacks them and manages to take Fleur hostage, stealing her golden fleur de lis necklace before fleeing. Warren gives her some sort of ovular blood-red gem afterwards, and the two and Charles Kane, Anna, Otto, and Joe are forced to spend a cold night in a tunnel not far from Queensport.
+ Visits the ruins of the manor in Queensport for the first time.
+ Ordered to tell Syr Varyn that he is being replaced as Hand of the King. He commits suicide, and she sees the body.
+ She learns of Josephine's illness and subsequent suicide. She is distraught.
+ Maceo dies. She inherits Courtnay.
+ She travels to Linlea during the plague.
+ She sails south with a party who go cave spelunking. She has a secret.

"One day I will do things for you that I hate. That is what it means to be family."
{ RELATIONS }
⚜ ⚜ ⚜ ⚜ ⚜

⚜ FAMILY ⚜

With so few family members left, she cannot help but wonder when the curse that plagues her kin will come for her.

"Bound by iron and blood, we are one."

Mylaela {Mother}: Fleur admires her and wants desperately to cling to her now that everyone around them seems to be dying. She loves her with every beat of her heart, but worries that she will lose her like she lost her father. She knows that she can confide in her and trust her with anything. "My mother, my best friend, and my greatest supporter." Jstar

Elnaril {Brother}: Their relationship has grown distant, and she fears that he has begun to shut himself off from the world around him. She worries. "Protect yourself, brother. Be safe."

Lord Daeron Eldrin {Grandfather}: She is admittedly more wary of him than her non-Hawklight family, but would still never betray him out of the love that she holds her family, and knows that he would never do intentional harm to herself, her mother, or her brother. Loved, but distant. Jstar

Arielle de Courtnay {Niece}: "Your mother has shown her true colors. I will do everything in my power to keep you safe, but you have to trust me. I promise." Elz

Mathieu de Courtnay {Nephew}: "My heir. Not my son, but I will never treat you any differently. You are but a child, and I will keep you safe. I promise." Paint

Podric: They are not related, and they share a plethora of differences in conduct. "We share no blood, but I have to find it in me to trust you as my cousin did. I have to." She hopes that he will keep her secret. Luam

Francis (nee Courtnay): Unbound by Anhald Law but considered family nonetheless. She has not met him enough to have a proper opinion of him. "We may be bound by blood, cousin, but I pray you will not overstep your bounds." BoredBrit




⚜ TRUSTED ⚜

She trusts select members of her family and herself.



⚜ LOYAL TO ⚜

Her Family: In particular, her father and closest relatives- but it extends outwards. She could never do anything to harm them in any direct or indirect fashion, and she finds the closest comfort possible in being with those that she loves. She cherishes them. "Bound by iron and blood, we are one."

Ignis: Baptised not days after her birth, Fleur has remained loyal to the Patron of Light since she was a child. She holds great respect for the Goddess, and while she is not quite as pious as her Cousin, she will not turn her back upon her religion unless faced with extenuating circumstances.



⚜ LIKED ⚜

Warren: She does not blame him for what happened, but fears that he blames himself. She thinks him amiable enough. Elt

Charles Kane: Her hopes no longer align with only keeping their parent's political relationship afloat. She respects him more than most of her peers in that their ideals align closely, but she has begun to find unwarranted, uncomfortable, and entirely unwanted feelings creep forward. She will suppress them. Lannis



⚜ INDIFFERENT ⚜

Viktoria: Generally agreeable. She sees her as a bit forward with men such as Charles, but understands that coming from lesser nobility she must use things other than pure stature to find herself a comfortable place. Hannah

Sir Gael: His gift has perhaps lessened the pain that she feels each day for her father's death. She is reassured that he died for a cause unlike any other, and one that was successful. Scardrac

Otto: Otto. Paint

Sophia: She has shared quite a bit with Fleur, and her tales have left Fleur questioning herself. She knows very little of love and lust and finds it hard to relate to the woman, but she is intrigued. Jinny



⚜ DISFAVORED ⚜
Marie du Lavoyarde: "God may forgive you, but I never can. Don't come back." Cukie1



⚜ REMEMBERED ⚜

Francis ✞ {Nephew}: She never got to seem him grow old and break the curse of young death. She wishes that she could have protected him...

Sebastien de Courtnay ✞ {Father}: Missed with all of her heart. She clings desperately to the wisps of memories of him that she carries, but they seem to fading with each passing day. If she could bring anyone back, it would be him. She wonders often what his last thoughts were of...

Alison Kane ✞: A woman who her father was very close to. She had found comfort of this until hearing of the Duchess’ untimely death. Though she never really spoke to her at any length, she had been somewhat of a role model for the girl. She feels a slight disappointed that the woman could not do more for her family after all that Sebastien did for hers. Perhaps she could have given her more insight into her father's wishes.

Syr ✞ {Cousin}: "It may be the greatest sin of all." Arken

Maceo de Courtnay {Cousin}: The last time they spoke, they fought. "No matter how much we argued, you were my guide. And I am now without you, I'm terrified." BoredBrit

Josephine Varyn {Cousin}: She misses her guidance and assurance.

James Varyn {Cousin}: His presence had become a sense of comfort for her. He was her confidant, the only family member that she felt she could wholly trust. She feels... Empty. TheDeester

Elizabeth Kane : She isn't sure what to feel. She wishes they had spoken more. NIAH
