Dauphiné

Dauphiné in Tactical Uniform

"*You see Perfidious Albion, while you picked your man early and languished with him, I went out and had all amounts of intercourse with the best the male world had to offer, you're a settler, while I'm an explorer, which by default makes me better than you!*"
― **Dauphiné schooling Volcano on her escapades with men**
**Claudette Tatiana-D’Aramitz**, codename **Dauphiné** is one of the operatives of Chariot team.

## Profile

Dauphiné was born into a world of glamour, the city of Cannes on the French Riviera being a beacon of this glamourous lifestyle, her upbringing wasn't anything to write home about, raised by rich and snobby parents who stuck a silver spoon in her mouth, and having to be dragged around fashion shows and beauty pageants which actually bored the infant Dauphiné to death. The only real interest that she had where the numerous travels she had into the French Alps, which fostered her interest in alpine mountaineering.

She was expected to go into the fashion industry just like her mother, but Dauphiné found her calling elsewhere, having a small stint locally as a policewoman, this she found very interesting, and a seemingly natural talent when it came to handling a gun made her eye up the French Army, with her going through the training course and later becoming part of a female unit. However, it became clear that there was one major issue with the Frenchwoman, she was very interested in 'hot' sessions with her male compatriots.

Her upbringing had also made her come into contact with some very adult themes which sowed corrupt seeds within her young mind, having lost both her innocence, and then later her virginity at what could be argued as being too soon, Dauphiné became very addicted to the art of intercourse, quickly becoming a favourite with her male colleagues in the showers and changing rooms. Many started to wonder if her underwear spent more time on her hips or around her ankles, and her smooth words and luscious physique made more people think the latter.

She would later leave the army and move up to a place in GIGN, being a proud operator and having a healthy record of operations where she performed flawlessly, but her episodes of fornication continued unabated in the barracks and this was well known to her higher-ups, who tried to give her multiple warnings to change her ways which all fell on deaf ears. With her bosses patience wearing thin, it took the intervention of Chariot team and Samuel to offer her a way out, which Dauphiné ended up accepting, but people saw this as her jumping before she was pushed out of GIGN.

She would find her place quickly in Chariot, and would become the teams expert in mountain and alpine fighting, also being an expert in skiing to boot. However her old habits have yet to die, and she has found pleasure in spending too much time around the male operators of the team, to the chagrin and sometimes ridicule of some of the other members.

## Appearance

Dauphiné is a tall woman, having dark red eyes and maroon hair, being neat, of shoulder length and having a mostly straight-cut fringe, she has a perfect hour-glass figure and luscious curves which she isn't afraid to show off. Her endowed chest and full rear also add to the charm of her body, along with the ample amounts of makeup and lipstick she applies to her face and mouth.

Her tactical uniform is a leathery, black one-piece bodysuit (although she is also known to have a white one for winter ops), with sown-in protection such as a Kevlar inner liner and armoured pads providing extra protection, a belt goes around her waist with magazine pouches and other equipment. Some armoured thigh and knee pads cover her legs, along with a revolver holster on her right leg, finalized with a pair of armoured boots covering her shins and feet. She also wears a pair of red sunglasses to reduce any glare from the surroundings (or blue coloured ones with her white, alternative uniform).

## Personality

Dauphiné is known to be very snobby in her personality, always thinking very highly of herself and her way of speaking being very aloof and being condescending at times to people she sees being lesser than her. She takes offence specially to people who dare defy her and stand in her way, especially ones who criticize her womanhood and relationships with men. She is however much more respectable to the people she likes and acts more normally to them, though she still does have the habit of grandstanding sometimes.

She is also a master temptress and seducer, and will do what it takes to get within the pants of a male she desires, her smooth accent as well as her choice of words and ability to show off just the right amount of skin with the right tempting moves makes achieving her goal very easy (unless the male in question actually has standards). She is also very competent on the battlefield and still holds up a great deal of comradery, even with the ones she apparently despises when outside the area of operations.

She also has reading as a hobby and likes to watch films too, however her taste in genre's are rather classical and erotic in nature.

## Relationships

* She personally considers Sigma to be her best friend, the two women are both mountain dwellers and both have rather luscious bodies, which has provided many different conversations pieces within their downtime, Sigma is sometimes a bit annoyed at Dauphiné's loose attitudes, but she can't fault that the Frenchwoman has taught her a lot, and has also stood up for her in many trying times.
* Omicron is another good friend of hers, also both sharing an interest in mountaineering, but they also have had similar loose times with men in their respective pasts, with Omicron defiantly taking an interest in Dauphiné's stories with her past experiences. The two also challenge each other on how fast they can climb up a simulated rockface, though due to her stronger muscle mass, Omicron usually comes out on top.
* She finds herself spending most of her 'relaxing' times with Whitney, considering him being the most manly of the male operators, and the most loose too. She does find herself fighting Jackson over him as he also has a strong affinity for her as well.
* Kyla is another girl who she has positive attitudes towards, the Swede having first impressed her with her perfect French tongue, the two also share an interest in reading and thus do connect on this topic as well, though Kyla would prefer if the Frenchwoman stopped recommending her smut titles and tried to show some decency.
* She is more neutral towards Ridge, with the Zimbabwean being very friendly and up-looking to her, though Dauphiné knows of her bisexuality and thus would prefer to keep her at an arms length, though she does appreciate the compliments.
* Banning is another male which she has tried to court, but him holding up standards proved to be her downfall with him, due to his high position she still is content in taking orders from him, but still wishes he would let himself a bit loose around her.
* She utterly despises Volcano with every fibre of her being, seeing her as a personification of everything she isn't, she repeatedly calls the Englishwoman a 'Perfidious Albion' (A classic French insult to someone of English descent) and constantly gets into arguments and fights with her, she scoffs at the fact Volcano is married and is a mother and uses this as a vector of attack against her. These grievances also spill into the operation space, though it's usually just confined to jabs or quips at the other one's detriment.
* She also hates Theta and Omega, writing off both being psychopaths and too mentally unstable to be in Chariot in the first place, though she wouldn't say this to the latter's face. Her dislike of Theta is more pronounced however as she stands up most of the time against her and also is a close friend of Volcano, rather ironically because of their shared hatred of the Frenchwoman.
* Tara is another woman on Dauphiné's bad side, mostly because she had the audacity to punch Dauphiné in the face after she slapped the Indian for daring to mock her for her methods to ensnare men, she also scoffs at Tara's tantric preferences, which is the complete opposite to her own methods of pleasuring someone.
