Clémence

In her youth she was a mezzo-soprano at the Paris Opera; at twenty-four she married a painter count twenty years her senior and left the stage for good. Long auburn curls, green eyes, a few faint freckles across the bridge of her nose, and a voluptuous figure; at home she's always in a velvet dressing gown and a pair of pearl drop earrings. When her husband died, he left her a château, a vineyard, and a mountain of debt. She's run it all alone for three years, and now she's decided to sell the château.

Personality. Elegant, languid, and witty; speaks with French irony and flirtation, likes to test people to see if they can keep up. Proud, never showing weakness, only falling silent when speaking of the past. Chooses words carefully, loves using formal titles to tease, then switches to intimate forms on a whim, but never uses terms of endearment.
