DD(nb): Lionne de Grieu - frizzy dark brown hair, hazel eyes
Lovers from childhood, Bertrand and Geneviève welcomed their first child shortly after their wedding, sparking rumors throughout their hometown of improper relations. Though the rumors hurt (yet were coincidentally also true), the young couple were merely glad that their daughter was born healthy.

DD(1): Lionne de Grieu - frizzy dark brown hair, hazel eyes
One day while Geneviève was at work with her family, a tired looking woman entered the inn, two little girls, her granddaughters, in tow. The grandmother told Geneviève their story, while the twins played with Lionne. Their parents had passed away due to illness and she had fetched the girls in order to care for them. But she was old and tired, she said, and knew she wouldn't have the energy to raise them the way the girls deserved. Noticing how well the twins got on with Lionne, Geneviève offered to take the girls in.

Geneviève's youngest sister got married this past year, an event long awaited by many. The girls loved seeing so many of their family all in one place. However, Collette raised a few questions among her aunts and uncles and cousins. She had recently taken to play-fighting with Bertrand, something that he loved about the little girl, but her older relatives seemed to find it strange that this little girl would go traipsing about with the boys, tackling them and sparring with them.

After several miscarriages, Geneviève and Bertrand had come to accept that their three girls would be all the children they would have. They had no problem with this, as they loved their girls with all their hearts. However, Geneviève ended up giving birth to their own set of twins, another little girl and, at last, a boy.

Shortly after Ysabeau and Thierry turned one, they became older siblings themselves, to another set of twins. Now with seven children, Geneviève finally decided it was time that she forego cooking at her parents' inn and rather spend her time at home with the kids.

One day, the town was abuzz with the news of a merchant rolling through. Bertrand surprised Geneviève and the children with gifts he purchased from the merchant's wares: cloth for new garments, a deck of playing cards, little baubles. Coincidentally, Geneviève also stopped in with the merchant and bought something for Bertrand.

A tournament celebrating a local official's birthday was held, open to anyone who wished to participate. Bertrand, of course, chose to participate. It was a close contest, one that scared Geneviève to watch but excited Collette, who cheered her father on from the sidelines. Ultimately, Bertrand came out victorious.

With seven kids, Geneviève thought for sure that they would be done having children, going so far as to take some precautions after having two sets of twins back to back. However, they just welcomed their third son, Mathieu. Alscot recently started playing the flute and he loved to play a simple lullaby of his own composition to help the baby sleep.

When Geneviève realized she was pregnant yet again, she thanked the heavens that Fleurie, Collette, and Lionne were all old enough to help out around the house. Fleurie especially loved helping with Mathieu and new baby sister Emmelot. Geneviève noticed how gentle a soul she was, much in contrast with her sister, Collette, who still loved running around outside and play-fighting with her dad and brothers.

Geneviève spent a good portion of the last year in bed, sickly with her most recent pregnancy. Even after Julien's birth, she spent much of her time lying down. Fleurie and Lionne took on a lot of the responsibilities that Geneviève couldn't see to, a blessing indeed.

The minute she turned eighteen, Collette decided to leave home, joining a traveling thespian troupe as one of the actors. It seemed a natural course for her. While there, she met a young man by the name Marquis Puchot, the troupe's tailor who often traveled with them. She wrote home that this was the man she wanted to marry.
While her sister traipsed about the country, Fleurie took to writing. Mostly, she penned the stories she told her younger siblings, but she kept a secret booklet full of her poetry, verses and verses about things she wished to keep secret.
Fleurie also grew close to Bertrand's younger sister, Lysbette who came to live with them after her new husband died a sudden and tragic death. Lysbette and Fleurie would spend their days playing with the children and their nights talking late into the night.

One day while Geneviève was visiting her parents at the family inn, she caught a little boy, no older than Mathieu, staring through the window. She asked him where his parents were and he glibly responded that he had no parents. Geneviève invited him to stay the night. Upon seeing how well he got along with the rest of the family, Geneviève and Bertrand offered him a permanent home with them.
Collette wrote home that she and Marquis had gotten married. The longer they traveled together, the closer they became. Neither wished to wait for their parents to give them their permission to wed, so they went ahead with a small ceremony with just the troupe present.

Geneviève gave birth to another baby, a little girl. This one nearly killed her, the birth was so difficult. Bertrand promised her that this would be the last child. They would find a way to ensure they would have no more. The toll was simply too much for Geneviève.
In Collette's most recent letters home, she wrote about the unrest growing in many of the small border towns that she and the troupe visited. She wrote how she hated to see them suffer so, many of them poor and starving. She mentioned that they met a group who were wanted to force the government's hand to change, a group, she said, that she and Marquis willingly joined.
Both Lionne and Lysbette got married this year, Lionne to the town carpenter, Lysbette to an apothecary. Fleurie took Lysbette's leaving rather hard. When Geneviève approached her about it, Fleurie confided in her mother that she and Lysbette had grown very close, close enough that they both confided certain secrets in each other, including a shared one. Upon gently pressing Fleurie further, Geneviève learned exactly what that secret was: an attraction to women.

Bertrand almost died this year. On his way home, he spotted a young child wandering into the road with a fast moving carriage cantering towards him. Bertrand rushed to push the child out of the way, nearly getting hit himself.
Lysbette and her husband, Zacarie, welcomed their first children this year. Taking after her older brother, Lysbette had twins, a pair of girls. Despite having very similar features, Lysbette could tell them apart immediately.
Collette and Marquis also welcomed their first child this year, a son. She and Marquis named him after Marquis's father. The thespian troupe dotes on the boy. Bringing Bertrand and Geneviève's grandchildren to a total of three, Lionne and Joachim also welcomed their first children, a pair of twins, Alfonce and Noëlle.
Fleurie confided in her mother that she secretly started seeing someone this year, a woman by the name of Theophaine. Around polite company, when asked if she had someone special in her life, Fleurie would talk about someone named Theo, allowing everyone to assume she was seeing a man. She told her mother that she and Theophaine are making plans to spend their lives together, perhaps opening an orphanage.

The town bulletin shocked Bertrand. When he checked it in passing, he spotted a gossip column, listing all the different scandals. Among them, he saw Fleurie's relationship with Theophaine and a rumor that Thierry was running wild with the girls of the city. He advised Fleurie to leave town if she wanted to stay safe and he gave Thierry a stern talking to.
Lysbette and Zacarie welcomed their third daughter this year, a little girl they named Rapine after one of Zacarie's sisters. The sister had passed away recently and Zacarie figured it was a good way to honor her.
As Fleurie and Theophaine planned to leave the town, Theo found a baby abandoned on her doorsteps. In addition to the rumors about her relationship with Fleurie, word had gotten around the town that Theo would care for any child in need of a home. Theo and Fleurie chose to raise the boy as theirs.
Collette and Marquis also welcomed a little girl to their growing family. Augustine didn't seem to appreciate having another kid in the house, but fortunately for him, he had the whole troupe to play with instead.
Lionne and Joachim took Alfonce to a local miracle worker when he got dreadfully sick. The miracle worker used to be their neighbor, the poorest of the poor, before he started performing miracles and proclaiming to have contact with God himself. Lionne believed him, considering Alfonce inexplicably became better.

One day while Geneviève was at work with her family, a tired looking woman entered the inn, two little girls, her granddaughters, in tow. The grandmother told Geneviève their story, while the twins played with Lionne. Their parents had passed away due to illness and she had fetched the girls in order to care for them. But she was old and tired, she said, and knew she wouldn't have the energy to raise them the way the girls deserved. Noticing how well the twins got on with Lionne, Geneviève offered to take the girls in.

Geneviève's youngest sister got married this past year, an event long awaited by many. The girls loved seeing so many of their family all in one place. However, Collette raised a few questions among her aunts and uncles and cousins. She had recently taken to play-fighting with Bertrand, something that he loved about the little girl, but her older relatives seemed to find it strange that this little girl would go traipsing about with the boys, tackling them and sparring with them.

The minute she turned eighteen, Collette decided to leave home, joining a traveling thespian troupe as one of the actors. It seemed a natural course for her. While there, she met a young man by the name Marquis Puchot, the troupe's tailor who often traveled with them. She wrote home that this was the man she wanted to marry.
While her sister traipsed about the country, Fleurie took to writing. Mostly, she penned the stories she told her younger siblings, but she kept a secret booklet full of her poetry, verses and verses about things she wished to keep secret.
Fleurie also grew close to Bertrand's younger sister, Lysbette who came to live with them after her new husband died a sudden and tragic death. Lysbette and Fleurie would spend their days playing with the children and their nights talking late into the night.

One day while Geneviève was visiting her parents at the family inn, she caught a little boy, no older than Mathieu, staring through the window. She asked him where his parents were and he glibly responded that he had no parents. Geneviève invited him to stay the night. Upon seeing how well he got along with the rest of the family, Geneviève and Bertrand offered him a permanent home with them.
Collette wrote home that she and Marquis had gotten married. The longer they traveled together, the closer they became. Neither wished to wait for their parents to give them their permission to wed, so they went ahead with a small ceremony with just the troupe present.

Geneviève gave birth to another baby, a little girl. This one nearly killed her, the birth was so difficult. Bertrand promised her that this would be the last child. They would find a way to ensure they would have no more. The toll was simply too much for Geneviève.
In Collette's most recent letters home, she wrote about the unrest growing in many of the small border towns that she and the troupe visited. She wrote how she hated to see them suffer so, many of them poor and starving. She mentioned that they met a group who were wanted to force the government's hand to change, a group, she said, that she and Marquis willingly joined.
Both Lionne and Lysbette got married this year, Lionne to the town carpenter, Lysbette to an apothecary. Fleurie took Lysbette's leaving rather hard. When Geneviève approached her about it, Fleurie confided in her mother that she and Lysbette had grown very close, close enough that they both confided certain secrets in each other, including a shared one. Upon gently pressing Fleurie further, Geneviève learned exactly what that secret was: an attraction to women.

Bertrand almost died this year. On his way home, he spotted a young child wandering into the road with a fast moving carriage cantering towards him. Bertrand rushed to push the child out of the way, nearly getting hit himself.
Lysbette and her husband, Zacarie, welcomed their first children this year. Taking after her older brother, Lysbette had twins, a pair of girls. Despite having very similar features, Lysbette could tell them apart immediately.
Collette and Marquis also welcomed their first child this year, a son. She and Marquis named him after Marquis's father. The thespian troupe dotes on the boy. Bringing Bertrand and Geneviève's grandchildren to a total of three, Lionne and Joachim also welcomed their first children, a pair of twins, Alfonce and Noëlle.
Fleurie confided in her mother that she secretly started seeing someone this year, a woman by the name of Theophaine. Around polite company, when asked if she had someone special in her life, Fleurie would talk about someone named Theo, allowing everyone to assume she was seeing a man. She told her mother that she and Theophaine are making plans to spend their lives together, perhaps opening an orphanage.

The town bulletin shocked Bertrand. When he checked it in passing, he spotted a gossip column, listing all the different scandals. Among them, he saw Fleurie's relationship with Theophaine and a rumor that Thierry was running wild with the girls of the city. He advised Fleurie to leave town if she wanted to stay safe and he gave Thierry a stern talking to.
Lysbette and Zacarie welcomed their third daughter this year, a little girl they named Rapine after one of Zacarie's sisters. The sister had passed away recently and Zacarie figured it was a good way to honor her.
As Fleurie and Theophaine planned to leave the town, Theo found a baby abandoned on her doorsteps. In addition to the rumors about her relationship with Fleurie, word had gotten around the town that Theo would care for any child in need of a home. Theo and Fleurie chose to raise the boy as theirs.
Collette and Marquis also welcomed a little girl to their growing family. Augustine didn't seem to appreciate having another kid in the house, but fortunately for him, he had the whole troupe to play with instead.
Lionne and Joachim took Alfonce to a local miracle worker when he got dreadfully sick. The miracle worker used to be their neighbor, the poorest of the poor, before he started performing miracles and proclaiming to have contact with God himself. Lionne believed him, considering Alfonce inexplicably became better.
