Take Down

Captivate

A bit of a conflicted soul, Claudette Descoteaux is a fairly reserved, if easily flustered pokemon. An upbringing wrought with loneliness and a yearning for popularity drove her into a prospective career in  theater in Montecarlo, although her efforts ultimately fell through. The characters she experienced from it even served as the catalyst for her to realize her more feminine gender identity, transitioning during her move from her home town. Due to her lack of theater experience however, her efforts for a job in the show business ultimately fell through.

Claudette's lifelong dream came into question however upon meeting her girlfriend. Her budding relationship with Francesca Fedella caused her to reconsider the kind of attention she wanted in her life and what it was that she truly wanted to do with it. She moved in with the slurpuff up in Bardiglio a few short months after.

## A Rural Upbringing

Unlike the majority of Kanitorians, Claudette experienced a rather isolated childhood. Originally named Clemont at birth, the furfrou spent her childhood in the rural forests of Morreauvia Superior withing the Kanitorian Court of Montclair. She lived in a small woodcutting village, getting to see little of the outside world beyond mountain speaks and sweeping tree-lines. The secluded nature of her hometown left Claudette with a severe sense of loneliness, longing for a life of glitz and glamour. This yearning of hers drew her to the spectacle of the Kanitorian Riviera ever since she was a puppy. As she tried to learn what she could about Montecarlo's many attractions, Claudette found herself drawn to its booming theater scene. From ancient Kanitorian performances to Rickie musicals and Delorian operas, the furfrou was captivated by the sense of spectacle and grandeur.

Not only was the extravagance an allure to her, but she had also grown fond of many of the characters and personalities depicted in their stories. The feminine ones in particular resonated with her at the time in a way she did not completely understand. As she developed into her later teenage years however, she began to understand her greater affinity for the opposite sex. After much thought and some emotional counseling, the furfrou eventually came to realize that her gender identity might not have aligned with her sex. Claudette changed her name and began her transition soon after, with the additional medical options in Montecarlo becoming yet another draw for her to move out of her hometown and pursue her dream as an actress.

## Struggles In The Big City

Claudette's Initial experience in the Riviera was one of pure awe. For so long she had hoped to see the dazzling jewel of the empire in person, and her first in-person exploration did not disappoint Claudette in the slightest. Her first week spent wandering the city's streets and taking in its many distinct sights may have been some of the best in her life, trying new foods, feminine clothes, and hunting for audition opportunities. Day after day, she tried out for all manner of stage roles and backstage positions, but her lack of experience crippled any of her prospects. As time wore on she was able to find work as a waitress in a Rickie-themed diner, taking and serving orders on a pair of roller skates. Claudette was stuck living in social housing due to the city's pricey real-estate, working day in and day out to try and find a spot, but an opportunity never seemed to come. However, Claudette's fate took quite a turn when a certain slurpuff came into her workplace one day.
