Character Played By: Amber Benson
Name: Ysolde Pelletier
Age: 23
Race (Lineage Origin): D’Angeline (Kusheline)
Gender: Female
Height: 5’4”
Home Province/Country: Kusheth
Appearance (1-2 Paragraphs): Ysolde has what are known as smoldering good looks. She has ash blonde hair that goes brown in the winter months, and crystal blue eyes that pierce. She has full pink lips, and golden skin that glows under firelight. Add to that a curvaceous figure, and Ysolde can make any man melt, which she frequently does.
Personality (1-2 Paragraphs): Beneath her lovely exterior lies a heart of darkness. Ysolde’s philosophy in life is that the ends justify the means, and she’ll use any means necessary to get what she wants, or to get what someone else wants, for a price. Add to that a working knowledge of herbs and poisons, and she’s a deadly weapon in the hands of whoever wishes to use her. She’s not above underhanded trickery or whoredom either, and she’ll use both to please her father, whose love she has always sought and never possessed. However, you’ll never know when this weapon may turn on the bearer.
History (At least 2 detailed Paragraphs):
Ysolde is the illegitimate daughter of Gaetan de Morbhan and Rosalind Pelletier, the daughter of a minor landowner in the de Morbhan duchy. Rosalind was Gaetan’s mistress for almost ten years, and when Gaetan’s son Gregoire was about one year old, she decided enough was enough. Lighting a candle in secret, she conceived Ysolde. Gaetan was furious, and having no intention to leave his wife for Rosalind, disavowed her and her daughter, vowing never to acknowledge her as his kin.
Bitter and lonely, Rosalind raised Ysolde to be cunning, conniving, and jaded. She taught her herb lore and dissembling, and drummed into Ysolde’s head that if she were good enough, she could win her father’s love back. So Ysolde grew from a serious, unhappy girl to a sharp, cruel young woman, bent on getting the acknowledgement from her father that she believes she deserves.
The chance came when one day, Gaetan returned to the Pelletier home and presented Ysolde with her long-awaited opportunity. It seemed that Gaetan’s daughter in law was a right bitch, and he needed someone to keep an eye on her. Though he still swears up and down that Ysolde isn’t his child, she knows the truth, and one day, she will get him to admit it. In the meantime, she’s been planted in front of Evangeline l’Envers, who is hiring a maid.
