OOC PREFERENCES:
• CONTACT METHOD: PM to this account or, if you're on my timeline, viaonlyfalling.
• THREAD-JACKING: Always welcome, as long as the entry/thread is marked public.
• FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: I'm open to it, but I would prefer to be contacted beforehand, so we can work something out.
• BACKTAGGING: I try to backtag into forever myself, so go for it!
• AVOIDED TOPICS: None that I can think of at the top of my head, but I'll let you know immediately if something makes me uncomfortable.
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
• PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Female. Early twenties (24, currently). Marguerite is tall and slender, with long chestnut hair that waves slightly when worn loose, although she most often styles it in a bun at the back of her head or in corkscrew curls that fall around her shoulders. After becoming Jean Louis' mistress, her style of clothing has changed from the traditional early 19th century style she wore upon her arrival to modern 21st century clothing, all of it very expensive and luxurious. She's somewhat fragile to look at due to her former exposure to tuberculosis (that has now been healed in game), but still altogether feminine and very attractive.
• DEMEANOR: Coquettish playfulness is the part of herself that Marguerite shows to the world most often, the side of her that loves pranks and games and dancing. The side that laughs and teases and indulges in life. However, there's another side to Marguerite as well. The side that has been hurt by love, the side that is afraid of death and loneliness, the side that feels worthless after having been sold and bought so many times. These two very different aspects of her always seek a balance that is difficult to strike and although the carefree side of her wins the honour of being put on display most often, it is the other, much heavier side of her that weighs her down.
• ABILITIES: Marguerite is an ordinary human being, but due to her profession, she is a master out in the art of seduction and knows what men want, being able to provide as well.
• OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Being a courtesan, the sensitive subject of prostitution will inevitably come up and be touched upon, both in narration and in direct speech. If this makes you uncomfortable, Marguerite is possibly not the character for you to interact with.
IC PERMISSIONS:
• MENTAL/MIMICRY: Marguerite is pretty smart and doesn't let herself be used or manipulated with without at least being aware of it and to some degree, allowing it. Therefore, please discuss it with me before attempting to do any mindfucking business with her.
• VIOLENCE: In general, I'd say, no problem. Marguerite has dealt with violent men before in her career as a courtesan, but I'd like to keep the violence within human strength, something that she can respond naturally to. This means that I'd prefer her not to get into fights or other violent situations with supernatural beings.
• MAGIC: She doesn't have any problems with magic. She isn't incredibly impressed with it either, but she thinks it's definitely interesting, so go ahead and use it around her.
• DEBATE: Marguerite is a sweet-talker. Part of her profession is to make the man she's with feel like the cleverest and most sophisticated man out there which she's incredibly good at, always saying what her men want to hear and only - at times, when it slips - speaking her own mind. On the hand, she can be incredibly, yes, almost brutally honest and will not back down in a discussion that she deems important enough.
• HUGGING/KISSING/PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Marguerite is all about the physical contact, it's what she gets paid for. She's a very physical person herself, hugging and kissing (in the French manner, cheek to cheek) most people whom she considers acquaintances or friends. Thus, any physical shows affection are bound to make her respond doubly and if you're a man, she might very well think that you're planning on courting her or buying her.
• SHIPS: Marguerite/Armand is the canon ship that I steer by. Even now that Marguerite is developing something that could become an affection for Jean Louis Duroc (napoleonical), it is always in the light of what she experienced with Armand. With Marguerite, I'm open to sexual/romantic relations both to men and women, since I don't see her as someone who would inhibit herself sexually.
• OTHER / NOTES: Nothing as of yet.
