Antoinette Vaude

The Cosmic Rose「宇宙の野薔薇 , *Uchū no Nobara*」

**Antoinette Vaude** née **Novachrono**「アントワネット・ヴォード」is a noblewoman from **House Vaude**, a house she married into from **House Novachrono**. She is also captain of the Blue Rose squad. Everything in her life has been done to strive for perfection and beauty. She performs beautifully, she eats beautifully, she even sleeps beautifully. This repeats day after day, and she never grows tired of it. Such an intensely hedonistic lifestyle does not come without its shortcomings however. Those who would dare tread upon it would be met with such an intense rage, unbecoming of such a perfectionist, that they would no longer want for this world.

## History

Antoinette grew up into a luxurious lifestyle as a young girl. Like many of her standing, she grew up around the rest of the nobility within the Clover Kingdom. Much was provided for her at such a tender, young age; especially because of her being the first-born daughter of the **Novachrono** family. At this young age, she began to display certain characteristics. Nothing that wouldn't be uncommon for a girl of her upbringing, but it was how severe these emotions were that made them so terrifying. The first, and most fortunate, of these characteristics was her perfectionism. She would make sure to do everything perfectly, and she refused to have house servants do her everyday chores as they were "lousy" in her eyes. She had very strict standards, but ones that could be adjusted to. In time, when she became an adolescent, she would find a maid suited to her needs. The second of these characteristics is something only noticed whenever anyone interrupts her perfect lifestyle. They will be met with a deadly fury that is as blind and belligerent as a bull that sees red. This kind of hostile behavior has been met negatively, but no amount of training or punishment could tame Antoinette's anger. So because of this, the Novachrono family often employed peasant maids for Antoinette, as the life of a peasant from the Forsaken Realms didn't matter nearly as much as a noble's, or even a commoner's.

When she became an adolescent she was married into **House Vaude**, to the older but charming Alex Vaude. For the first half of the **Great War**, she didn't care for him or his life. But one time upon coming back from the battlefield, she began to show signs of concern. From there, their relationship grew and allowed her to at least stomach his presence. She has yet to bear any children for him, something which she is constantly pressured to do by her old and new family alike. Even still, she seems a long way from doing so and no one seems to have the strength or bravery to try and interrupt her current life.

Once she became a Magic Knight, she was immediately accepted within the ranks of the Blue Rose. Her perfectionism and beautiful applications with Spatial Magic made her a prime candidate for captain, and in time she would rise to said rank. These days, the Blue Rose have lost some of their respect by other Magic Knights. Mainly because Antoinette treats the rest of her members like dogs, and will send even the most inexperienced mages into the most dangerous missions without concern for their lives. Some people survive her command, but not all of them. Those that remain either serve loyally, or do so with spiteful intentions. No one saw this coming, considering how promising she was in the years leading up to her anointment as captain. Even the former captain considers this one of her greatest mistakes, but it's too late for anyone to make a change.

## Personality

Antoinette is, at her core, a perfectionist. She is very stringent on her behavior following this, and strictly obeys all rules that she self-imposes on herself. When people interrupt this stream of consciousness, and get in her way, she becomes unbelievably infuriated. To the point that she would sooner kill the person that interrupted her process before compromising on the situation. Her rage is blind, and is very unbecoming of her natural personality. She holds a general disregard for people's lives, but those that are close to her she will protect and perform her duties as a Magic Knight to ensure their continued health. However, few ever make it this far or ever reach her impossible standards.

One of Antoinette's main concerns in life is that she performs everything admirably and with a sense of perfection. Living like this, in her eyes, invites perfect things to occur in her life. This quality goes hand in hand with beauty, something that she has no problem achieving with her current goals. This can make her appear as a charming person, and especially an independent one. Even though the truth is, Antoinette doesn't care for people or the things they talk about. She only indulges in such social affairs to maintain her appearance.

Peculiarly, her entire personality can change towards those that would interrupt her perfect lifestyle of luxury. As fast as lightning, this change can change suddenly and without warning. It's like a demon in her comes out, and it would soon seek to end the life of those who interrupted this methodical practice. It doesn't matter who it is, from her closest friends to even her family, she would rather see them dead then live under the same blue sky as her. In her earlier years, she would frequently attack her father and mother, terrifying them greatly. Thankfully for the time, she had yet to learn how to properly wield her magic. Now, people have to actually defend themselves and intervention is necessary for her to bring back her cool.

While Antoinette does not seem to want for others, she does seem to have strong connections with those who persist around her. She never seems to bother with making these kinds of connections known, leaving them a complete surprise until the time comes where she has to show others this connection. How these connections are formed are as mysterious as Antoinette is. What is known is that once it's made, it can't be broken. She will do everything in her power to ensure that they're fine, both in and out of battle. When inside battle, she'll protect these people and make the most with her abilities as a mage. When outside, she will frequently treat them to her luxurious lifestyle and allow them some leniency so long as they listen to her correcting them.

## Appearance

Antoinette is a young, and supple woman. Her body is like a marble statue, perfectly proportioned and with a stoic air about her. Her skin is fair, and without any blemishes. She always has the same facial expression, her red eyes gleaming like rubies in the night. With a slight smile, regardless of circumstance. The intention of said expression seems to change depending on each situation, but the smile itself never changes. Her blonde hair is styled like a bob cut, with bangs on either side of her face.

She wears a blue capelet, common of members of the Blue Rose, with black fur adorning the collars. Underneath this she wears a thick, woolen tunic that is completely black. Complimenting this is a single, golden neck ring that is connected to the collar of her tunic. She wears dark, leather gauntlets with thin gloves made from sheep-skin. She wears black stilettos with skin-tight pants that have golden stripes that contour to her shape.
