Word from Paris, la nuit...'s Authors: This information was inspired from A world of Darkness, 2nd edition, page 73.

Background:

                    A girl of humble means with the voice of a siren, L'Epuisette life changed for ever after she performed in Cavalli's opera Serse in honor of the marriage of Louis XIV. Audric St Thierry, a confident of the Prince of Paris, gained swift permission to Embrace this little wonder from Provence, for never in memory had the Toreador elder been so moved by the voice of a mortal.

L'Epuisette didn't 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. Awaking in 1991, L'Epuisette tried to make her way to Paris to seek out her sire for aid, but just outside the city she again fell into the clutches of enemies, this time the Sabbat. Bewildered and unsuspecting, she was forced to participate into the Vaulderie by the True Avenger's pack, before being heavily Dominated by Blackthorne into forgetting everything, and giving weekly news about the parisian Camarilla (in transe: She forgets it as soon as it ends), before allowed to enter Paris.

Now, L'Epuisette is a Manchurean, a perfect and unknowing agent of the Sabbat. No one in Paris suspects that under her appearance her hidden motives are to discover the city's secrets and to report dutifully back to her ''fellow pack members''. As a Toreador elder of Paris, she has a home in 14th Arrondissement; she also has a place reserved with her pack in 19th Arrondissement near the old slaugtherhouses.

Destiny

                    Unknown. Raena has plan to deeply change her memories, so to makes her a full Sabbat.

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.

Role Playing:

                    Soft-spoken, sweet-natured and seemingly harmless, you usually let provocative remark 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 accepted part of a group. This desire is fullfilled at precise time, but you have yet to determine why (L'Epuisette contacts her fellow Sabbat, and so fullfill the needs of her Vinculum, and the mission she was Dominated into achieving).

Notes:

                    No one knows about L'Epuisette's allegiance to the Sabbat. Indeed, even Villon knows nothing. And as he's moved by the girl's voice, it decreases his natural paranoia.

Second, L'Epuisette is a well known figure in the Cour. Through time she has learned some secrets she has shared with her pack leader, thus explaning the high Secrets rating Raena and Blackthorne enjoys. The problem is that she usually comes back with ''harmless'' information...

Last but not least, L'Epuisette is instinctively becoming tired of the this double-lifestyle, and the Dominate's power start to slowly unravel, which will, in the future, cause her to give irregular reports, at dangerous moments, or even shows her Sabbat tendancies...

Actual Aim:

                    Profit from life's luxuries.

Rumours:

• You're among the Prince's favorite (True: If not, she would already have been destroyed).
• Constance hates you (False, but the Daughter of Cacophony resent such talent not in her Bloodline.
• You're an harmless, shy, discreet artist (True and False: L'Epuisette was never made for the Camarilla society. Her allegiance for the Sabbat, as well as her aim not to become entangled in any potential deadly intrigue makes her shy away some events...
• You're a personnal friend of Elle (False: The two Courtisanes never really loved each other. Still, Villon gave Elle the mission to teach L'Epuisette the specificities of this century --thus preventing her of studying too much the Cour--, which explains the two being together a lot).
