Family Connections:
Vague rumours of connections to numerous French nobility, but facts unknown to all but a few - she's a mystery for the solving! If you're from France or have visited regularly, you might have seen her attending the theatre, particularly vaudeville with the famed Grace Elliott or her noble companions.

* Art - she strongly resembles a muse for notable French painters
* Poetry & Literature - fantastical tales, fiction, romances and bawdy passages
