Name: Amourette Delphine Mireille Larue, the resulting child of a trifling love affair with a piteously ironic name to match. The only memento from her mother to eternally accompany her throughout this life to the next; it serves as a constant reminder of all she is, and all that she ever will be.
Pronunciation: amuʀɛt dɛlpinə miɾɛlə laɾɥə. (Read with Celine [French])
Nicknames: Amour to anyone with whom she becomes acquainted, and Cygnet to her old master during his rare times of benevolence.
Birthdate: A very melancholic and ominously rainy Saint Valentine's Day evening in 18xx.
Current Age: Nineteen years old, though she has suffered enough thus far for a complete lifetime.
Gender: Undeniably cisgender female, and forever unquestioning of that fact.
Orientation: While Amourette currently assumes herself to be heterosexual because she has only ever seen heteronormative romances depicted in the literature she loves, her initial period of isolation robbed her of the rightful opportunity to form close interpersonal relationships with anyone other than her warden and governess, and so her true understanding of her own sexuality will genuinely be organically discovered as time passes. Such a lack of experience means that she has yet to be intimate in any way whatsoever, and there is no doubt that she will need to be guided through the inevitable process. When she is eventually confident in herself, she will be a devout pleaser with a submissive lean.
Relationship: Uncoupled, and likely to remain unrequited if she ever did fall in love: a lowly servant girl would be a fool to ever desire the affections of another person. However, the heart still wants most what it cannot have...
Attachment: Unavailable--too apprehensive and afraid of abandonment to establish any at this current point in time due to past trauma.
Birthplace: A dimly-lit boudoir to spare an adjoining bedroom at La Fleur blanche on 6 rue des Moulins. 1st Arrondissement, Paris, France.
Nationality: Proudly French, even on distant and fully foreign soil.
Lineage: Born to a commoner mother whose unsurpassed beauty still only ever earned her a more favorable societal position upon her back for moneyed aristocrats in an upscale bordello, and to a handsome father of startlingly impressive peerage who had long ago proposed the elevated seat of Marquess to another established Aetheling of a similarly purebred caliber.
Ethnicity: Half French / half British. (French mother, British father)
Race: White, and as fair-skinned as a porcelain doll from a whole existence coercively lived indoors.
Species: An ordinary human with no real latent magical abilities of her own.
Education: While Amourette's previous keeper oversaw any and all of her uncompromisingly austere ballet training to perfect the poise of her quickly-developing form, a bright young governess intent on impacting her adolescent pupils was also commissioned to assure that she flourished in her many academic pursuits, and it was with an unsurpassed voraciousness that the attentive girl ate her fill of more than just the simple material which was on offer. Supplementary courses were eagerly supplied by the receptive schoolmistress who desired the intellectual stimulation, and they covered several advanced disciplines that a budding little lady might not otherwise be allowed to pursue in their current age.
Literacy: Extraordinarily well-cultured for someone who has spent nearly the entirety of their brief life forced into bonds, Amourette is phenomenally intelligent from assiduously pouring over whatever written works that she could get her tiny hands on, and she has virtually no issue comprehending the basic concepts of almost anything she reads in her mother tongue--with the exception of suffocatingly-dense arithmetic texts. While she undoubtedly prefers the comfortable solace of her favorite belles-lettres or even classical studies, she utterly excels in the subject of medical aid with a prowess unsuspected of someone with so humble a social standing, and her natural propensity to help those in need inspires the young woman to doggedly pursue any higher knowledge available to her.
Languages: Magnificently articulate in French (Native), remarkably eloquent in English (Fluent), and satisfactorily expressive in Common. (Conversational) However, the degree to which she is positive that her thoughts are being understood diminishes with her lack of acquaintance with whatever language's lexicon she's borrowing a topic's more challenging terms from.
Accent: Fully Parisian French, totally unspoiled by her dual heritage or her newly-forced assimilation into the general populace, and so strongly so that any and every word she speaks is subjected to have its pronunciation manipulated to entirely suit the only phonetics and intonation with which she is familiar.
Speech: Just as gentle as she, femininely high in pitch to delight the ear of those around her, and not unlike the lilting melody of sweet birdsong.
Voice Reference: Iliona. (Shh, Brussels is only an hour and a half away from Paris... The accent is practically identical)
Occupation: Professional prima ballerina, tragically imprisoned entertainer, attentive comfort companion, darlingly obliging pet girl, and future occasional pleasure servant.
Religion:
Family: None to mention of whom she is aware. Her philandering father left France five months after her conception despite making empty promises of her mother's freedom from the brothel, and her mother has likely succumbed to whatever maladies she eventually suffered from a vocation so fraught with physical danger. Every illegitimate brother and sister that Amourette has will forever be unknown to her despite their certain existence. Prior to his death, the formerly renowned ballet instructor, Maître François-Oliver Larue, became the closest person to a father she has ever known.
Height: Fine-boned and delicate like a fragile little songbird from so many years of daily dedication to her beloved craft, she is diminutive and irresistibly darling at a mere 4'11" / 150 cm.
Weight: Slightly underweight for even her size because of an impressively fast metabolism and a general absent-mindedness when it comes to regularly eating, but she is consequently easy to both carry and hold in your arms at a preciously petite 90 lbs / 41 kg.

Handedness:
Blood Type: O negative, and always more than willing to donate if necessary by reason of her blood's strong compatibility with virtually every other type, regardless of it at any point being of personal detriment for her to spare much with the stipulations placed on her own health. Above all else, Amourette would not want anyone to die if it was in her power to possibly alter that fate in some way at all.
Allergies:
Physical Health: Relatively healthy despite her being of such a small build for an adult woman of her age. This is possibly due to childhood malnutrition in tandem with both her rigorous profession, and meticulously monitored diet while in the care of her former master. She cannot defend herself at all without a sufficient weapon, and she would still be very likely to falter even if she were to be afforded one.
Mental Health:
Ailments: Faints easily when she suddenly becomes far too overwhelmed or terribly frightened as an involuntarily response to great stress, and she is physically weak in all respects with the exception of what ballet consistently demands of her tiny body. Conception is also unlikely to be successful as a result of her stature, and childbirth is life-threateningly risky.

Length of Capture: Fourteen years of deep loneliness and desperate longing have passed, though she has yet to fully resign herself to her fate.
Initial Sale Reason: Deemed a wholly unwanted child in the wake of her father's abrupt departure, she was sold by her mother to the retired ballerino, Maître Larue, in exchange for the finest jewels that le Boucheron et la maison Mellerio had to offer. She cared not of any cruel intentions in his heart when she left little Amourette on the street corner after the exchange was complete, and never even had the compassion to acknowledge that it was to be their final farewell. Not once did the harlot ever look back.
Resale Reason: After the miserly ballet master fell ill and capitulated to fate, his entire estate was fully liquidated without mercy to resolve any outstanding debts to be paid, and this naturally included the eventual repossession of his strikingly beautiful ward. Larue's delinquent account with (The XXXXXXX) was promptly settled thereafter with an ample offering of gold as well as the favorable acquisition of the unspoiled young woman to address the matter of "interest" that had been accrued over time.
Terms of Sale: Very difficult to negotiate for her purchase due to her limitless potential, Amourette's unparalleled talent as a rental performer is a fortuitous draw to (The XXXXXXX) both socially and financially during events and holidays. Thusly, she is available at a shockingly steep cost to trusted patrons who are willing to make serious offers, only.
Ownership: Unowned, and her price is 3000
upfront in full to purchase without any concessions to be made. Reservations and down-payments are absolutely unacceptable in this particular accord. Credit is laughably out of the question.
Terms of Rental: Amourette is not to be sexually assaulted, and her body is not to be broken. If a patron wounds her in any way that permanently maims her or interferes at all with her potential to dance beyond the reasonable point of recovery, swift justice in direct proportion to the offense will be exacted upon that individual by the guards of the house for violating these terms of service.
Rental Fee: As a result of her well-curated repertoire of abilities, her rental fee varies to greatly to suit each encounter desired, and only employees of (The XXXXXXX) may receive any of the following services at a discounted price. The values of each one are ordered from lowest to highest, and her talents available are as follows:- General First-Aid (5
to 20 per encounter): Are you looking to have some medication administered intravenously, but the infirmary is occupied by other cases that take precedence? Have you been recently-wounded in a fight with another patron? Perhaps you are in need of a healing injury to be properly redressed? Not to worry, even if your request is as basic as having your vital signs checked, no task is too insignificant for Amourette to accept when it comes to your precious health. While the girl might not be able to perform complicated procedures such as surgery or emergency intubation, she is impressively competent when it comes to administering first-aid--some of which that can be life-saving in sustaining the patient's existence until their condition has stabilized. From her seemingly endless years of residence with her elderly former master, she has retained every bit of knowledge that she was expected to consume under threat of harsh punishment in order to provide him adequate care at his advanced age, and her extensive list of proficiencies are thus: the careful dosing of her patients with an accurate-to-the-milliliter standard of attentiveness by a delicate hand to ease any worries of pain or discomfort, the commendably thorough cleaning and dressing of numerous types of wounds that vary in degree of both severity and complexity, the admirably perfect threading of a professional seamstress to stitch closed open wounds that do not require a specialist's care, and the intimate understanding and familiarity with the application of firm pressure to prevent blood-loss coupled with the comprehension of how to excellently tie an effective tourniquet. With an angelic bearing that will most undoubtedly alleviate your suffering, you would entirely do well to make the informed choice by soliciting her to remain by your bedside, and complaisantly assist you in recuperating from whatever affliction you happen to be suffering. (Other experience Amourette has that she refuses to admit to (The XXXXXXX) that she possesses include both the essential knowledge of how to reasonably revive an individual who has stopped breathing with artificial respiration, and the crucial capability to resuscitate someone whose heart has stopped beating a few moments before by utilizing chest compressions. The aforementioned skills only go unspoken of to protect those who are in dire need of such drastic forms of treatment from the requirement of paying a fee, and such methods will absolutely be used without hesitation to ensure that no one dies in her care if she can ever avert that crisis, consequences be damned. Should she happen upon anyone in need of any other form of aid, or if she suddenly finds herself in the presence of someone who has collapsed, she will remain similarly silent to safeguard them from involuntarily commissioning her. She is willing to seal her own fate should she be caught, as securing the infirmed's well-being is far more paramount to her.)
- Hookah-Tending (30 per session / 5 per hour): Do you occasionally find yourself positively exhausted after a long and arduous shift at (The XXXXXXX)? Perhaps you are merely a patron who is simply looking to momentarily unwind without any obligations to speak of? Wonderful, then you are an ideal candidate to enjoy Amourette's charmingly agreeable company for a rental session. She is impressively versed in a wide array of paraphernalia by virtue to her previous master's penchant for often smoking various imported narcotics of differing potencies, and she is wholly familiar with how to fill the head of any pipe or hookah with both herb and flower to effortlessly suit the needs and preferences of her surprisingly diverse clientele. Be it the classic Indian hookah from South Asia or a favored Persian shisha variant from the Middle East, the girl is well-aware of how to meticulously empty and carefully clean any kind of water pipe from coal tray to vase in a commendably brief amount of time, and her services will even extend so far as to return entirely by hand any disinfected pieces that personally belong to the patron after her task is completed. However, if you would prefer the more individualized experience granted by using a handheld pipe for the best efficacy of whatever substance in which you have chosen to partake, you will be delighted to simply pass it off to Amourette by the stem for her to prepare with your favorite indulgence from the following list: classically traditional or exotically flavored tobacco blends for the uninitiated, bounteous strains of quality cannabis to suit any level of tolerance and readiness to dabble, premium hashish resins rich in cannabinoids for the more seasoned smokers of (The XXXXXXX), or even the ambrosial allure of exceptionally pleasant opium dust is all yours to be had for a nominal fee. Conversely, if you would rather remain in-control of your own experience by tending the instrument without her guidance or proficiency, it's still quite beneficial for Amourette to remain in your company should you mistakenly satisfy yourself beyond your body's own natural limits. With her commendable expertise in the stock we offer as well as her dedication to her first-aid training, the little ballerina is equipped to care for you until you are able to either leave of your own volition, or are ready to be escorted to the infirmary by our reliable guardsmen--she will totally refuse to leave your side until she sees that you are certainly well.
- Companionship (20
per day / 30 per hour): Is it difficult for you to find someone to speak to who will truly listen to your thoughts? Does your line of work prevent you from enjoying the fellowship of others more than you would prefer? Might you simply be feeling a bit lonely since your arrival at b]([/b]The XXXXXXX)? It is no matter at all for sweet little Amourette to deftly handle, and no financier is ever too unimportant for her to wholeheartedly entertain. Whether you are merely looking to only exchange pleasantries, or even if you are direly in need of a shoulder to cry on, she is a fantastic find within b]([/b]The XXXXXXX) when it comes to satisfying the innate need for social interaction. A preciously courteous demeanor qualifies her as a truly exemplary companion when paired with her impressively unending patience, attesting while on and off display to a distinctly considerate nature which deems her to be the ideal servant for confiding within at length, and her total unwillingness to interrupt a patron by speaking out of turn is certainly the marked benefit of a fine upbringing at the hands of an uncompromisingly strict master. If you are interested in a night with a gorgeous young woman who will obediently serve you alcohol while you relax in the quiet comfort your room, she will absolutely dazzle you with the grace and poise that she maintains while pouring each and every glass, and all as she attentively provides polite conversation consisting of a wide range of topics that should undoubtedly suit any member of the establishment's tastes. If liquor doesn't particularly appeal to you in any way, or if the time of day is too inappropriate for imbibing any, it might behoove you to consider renting Amourette for an opulent tea party to thrill your honored guests, and cunningly impress upon them with genuine satisfaction the full width and breadth of your enviable wealth. As enchantingly delicate as if she had piquéd daintily out from the silken encasement of a Charles Reuge music box, she will surely be the perfect trinket to enhance the luxurious atmosphere of your afternoon brunch or evening soirée, and her talent for balancing a silver platter without upset will both enthrall and amaze you. Regardless of your intimate reasons for requiring the tiny ballerina's amity for a brief time, the establishment is certain that you will find the duration of your rental to be exceptionally gratifying, and it is fully anticipated that you will return to solicit her friendship once more for the sake of reliving the experience. (Something more erotic could potentially come of these interactions against the rules of Amourette's contract, but those encounters would be entirely situational and would also require some prior OOC communication.)
- Complex Embroidery (100 per piece / 20 per hour): Might you happen to concern yourself with the latest and greatest of cutting-edge fashion? Perhaps you prefer the reliability of finery that is more tried-and-true as opposed to daring and impractical? Do you often find yourself wishing that you could personalize these favored garments in a way that makes them unique from the standard fare worn around b]([/b]The XXXXXXX)? Well then, you are very opportunely in luck! Amourette's rare artistic talent for exceedingly realistic embroidery is nothing short of enviable with the limitless variety of gorgeous designs that she is able to create from a mere sketch, hand-stitched with only the utmost love and care tightly woven between the fibers of every single unique piece that she diligently produces at your request, and you will find that the durable quality of her exquisite silk thread is conveniently suitable to be easily maintained upon your preferred article of clothing without the looming possibility of premature degradation. Whether it be along the lapel's length of your finest suit jacket, or even down the bare front panel of your most understatedly common corset, meticulous planning will determine the ideal placement for your pattern, and the girl will obediently craft for you picturesquely couture embroidery at a generously minimal price. Thread-painting, as this breathtaking technique is called for its masterful marriage of colors in an assemblage of gradients to be optimally realized with a discerning eye, was a treasured childhood hobby of Amourette's that she could never bear to part with in her adolescence because of her growing fondness for ephemeral beauty, and she strove to perfect it with the same consistent grace that she retained while she walked the daunting path to become a professional ballerina in total solitude. With straight or whipped stitches does she memorialize impermanence that would have been otherwise inevitably lost to the cruelty of time's merciless passage, the satin fill of each individual rose petal dithering into the practicality of a blended fade that gives distinction to blooms of eternally ripened hues, and the gently alternating herringbone seams that imply the fragile veining of leaves reminds the onlooker even at a glance that such frailty is to be cherished. Regardless of whether the composition calls for such devout faithfulness to the lifelike properties of nature, or even if you're simply seeking the enduring look of elaborately filigreed monogramming for your order, Amourette is highly prepared and obligingly eager to complete your commission for the soonest possible turnaround.
