L'Epuisette
- Quebec City -- Paris -- Toreador
[[]]
Appearance: A petite beauty with ivory skin and ebony curls, L'Epuisette is riveting even in silence. But once she begins to sing or speak in her low, sweet tones, she is a marvel even among the Kindred.
Behavior: Soft-spoken, sweet-natured and seemingly harmless, you usually let provocative remarks pass by without comment, believing it better not to get involved too deeply in the affairs of others. Yet hidden within you is a desire to be an accepted part of a group.
History: A girl of humble means with the voice of a siren, L'Epuisette's life changed forever after she performed in Cavalli's opera Serse in honor of the marriage of Louis XIV. Audric St. Thierry, a confidant of the Prince of Paris, gained swift permission to Embrace this wonder from Provence, for never in memory had the Toreador elder been so moved by the voice of a mortal.
L'Epuisette did not take well to her new lifestyle; she survived only by taking joy in her music as the long years passed. When the French Revolution began, she sought refuge in England. But before she could gain passage at Calais, she was set upon by peasants. The girl fled, cloaked herself in the earth and fell into torpor for 200 years.
L'Epuisette awoke in 1991, she made her way to Paris to seek out her sire: Audric St. Thierry for aid, but just outside the city she again fell into the clutches of enemies, this time the Anarchs (actually, the Parisian Sabbat, but only a few now now this, including François Villon who has never revealed this to her sire). Bewildered and unsuspecting, she was forced to accept the Blood Oath (the Vaulderie) of the Anarch (Sabbat) leader Odilon de Boucher, before being allowed to enter Paris.
Now, L'Epuisette is a perfect agent of the French Anarch movement (Sabbat). No one in Paris suspects that her true motives are to discover the city's secrets and to report dutifully back to Odilon and the other Anarch (Sabbat) leaders.
Recent Events: However, only thirty years after her awakening and return to Paris, the Prince Francois Villon has begun suspect that she is something more than the darling virtuoso of Clan Toreador. Though her sire Audric is oblivious, the prince has banished her for no apparent reason to of all places, the New World. Now she has been thrust into a difficult position, where she must depend upon and work with several Camarilla luminaries or try to establish connections with the Anarch movement (Sabbat) of North America. Either decision could put her in significant danger and now she must put her limited martial skills to the test or die here in the wilderness beyond the light of civilization.
Her Final Death: L'Epuisette died upon the poisoned blade the infamous Assamite antitribu Reza Fatir.
