However, their parents disapproved of their relationship and had them marry two different people. Later marrying Cesaire, Suzette, and Adrien had a romantic affair, resulting in the birth of their daughter, Lucie. Because of this relationship, Suzette concealed the fact that Lucie and Henry Lazar were half-siblings by pretending that Lucie was her and Cesaire's biological child. However, Suzette eventually gave birth to their true daughter, Valerie.
 
Cesaire, in his wolf form, learned about his wife's affair with Adrien when he realized Lucie could not understand him (as the children of werewolves often do. Cesaire killed Lucie and Adrien in rage and later scratched Suzette across the face. Without realizing the truth about her husband and the revenge he had against her, Suzette realizes her husband was never coming home. She eventually loses hope and decides to return to her old life in Daggerhorn.

Suzette's secrets and infidelity are what led to most of the conflict and horrific events in the film taking place. However, she can be a loving mother, as she wants to secure her daughters' futures. However, Suzette is a greedy woman, as Valerie points out.
 
==Relationships==
===Cesaire===
Cesaire is Suzette's husband.
 
Despite claiming to love Cesaire, Suzette was afraid of him. Distrustful of him, Suzette told Valerie to keep the secret of Lucie not being his biological daughter from Cesaire. However, she was not aware that he discovered it on his own when Lucie could not understand him, as the children of werewolves can understand their parents in wolf form. As such, Cesaire scratched Suzette. However, Cesaire is not entirely to blame for the situation, as it was Suzette's infidelities and lies that led him to kill both Adrien and Lucie in a fit of rage.
 
Suzette is currently unaware that her husband was the Wolf and gave up hope he would return home one day.
