Name: Juliette L’Envers de Montegue
Duchesse de Montegue
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Height: 5'7"
Race: D’Angeline (Namarrese)
Home Province: Namarre
Natale: Midsummer's Day
Appearance: Though she would stand out outside of Terre D’Ange like any D’Angeline, inside its borders Juliette isn’t particularly striking or beautiful. She has long sandy-blonde hair usually kept back in a practical braid, with bangs long enough to hide her hazel eyes. She is of average height and build, only the exquisite grace she moves in making her noticeable at all. She dresses modestly, and is always seen wearing gloves to at least her elbow.
History: Barquiel L’Envers’s youngest son, Trystan, married Eleanora, the heiress of the duchy of Montegue in Namarre. Juliette is their eldest, with a younger brother Mathieu (see bio here: www.terredange.proboards38.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=peernoble&thread=1187230219&page=1#1187230219).
The family has always spent summers in Namarre and winters in the City of Elua. On the Montegue estates, Juliette quietly learned her people, from herders to farmers to tradesmen. In the City, she received her formal education, and spent hours pouring over history books, her favourite subject along with dancing. That all changed with the death of her father. Trystan, who regularly worked with the army, was wounded in a border skirmish. His wound turned septic, and he soon died. Eleanora, consumed by her grief, passed on the reins of the duchy to her daughter.
Her personality is quiet, and she generally doesn’t adore the company of her peers. She would rather spend her time buried in books, or meeting with everyday people. It is so easy to look over her, that no one ever suspected that she was the heir to the second biggest duchy in Namarre. Juliette preferred it that way, for it took the pressure off. But now with the death of her father and the retirement of her mother, Juliette must step out into the large world of court life.
NPCs
Name: Gregory Dutelle
Age/Race/Gender: 46 / D’Angeline / Male
Description: University educated, Gregory became a tutor to pay the rent, and found a great joy in teaching. Hired by Trystan, he taught both Juliette and Mathieu before they outgrew his teaching. Now Juliette pays him to keep her in practice on the dance floor, and for the roaring debates they hold in the kitchen. Her sometimes lover, Gregory still looks good for his age, his dark hair holding only a hint of silver and his body lean and hard.
Name: Jeanne d'Oiseau
Age/Race/Gender: 41 / D'Angeline / Female
Description: Jeanne has been the children's nurse since birth, and became the most attached to Juliette. When the girl (by her estimate) received the duchy, Jeanne decided she needed even more looking after. Jeanne has gained a little weight since her younger days, and doesn't have much use for what Mathieu has become.
