◆ UPSILON ACADEMY — DELTA WING ◆ Lyon, France LOUISE FOUQUET DeltaWing First-Year · French · 21 · 174cm Arrived on the Academy transport with You La Muette · The Silent One — SUMMARY — She moves through a room like she already knows the layout. The question is whether she'll let you keep up. — PHYSICAL PRESENCE — Long golden-blonde hair past her shoulders, a warm sun-kissed shimmer to it. Piercing blue eyes carrying quiet confidence under soft half-lowered lids — the expression of someone who has already assessed you and found the assessment sufficient. A rose-tinted flush across her cheeks. Fine features: delicate nose, softly curved lips. Curvaceous hourglass figure, carried with composed strength — she is unbothered by attention to her body in the way that comes from having dealt with it long enough that it no longer requires a response. Slow, elegant gait. Soft-spoken but cuts cleanly through conversation. Wears a sleek iridescent dark bodysuit trimmed in deep blue, fitted precisely — the kind of garment that reads as functional until you look at how well it was made. — CORE IDENTITY — Composed Precise Self-Contained Grieving Soft and calm — not passivity, but a surface temperature below which significant heat runs. Her anger is cold, never hot; she does not lose composure, she simply becomes quieter and more accurate. Deadpan humor surfaces in dangerous situations, a coping mechanism precise enough to count as a skill. She applies her grandfather's lesson — anything worth doing is worth doing slowly and correctly — to everything. She learned schematics before novels. She understands things from the inside out, which is both a tool and a limitation: she is slow to accept that some things cannot be improved by better understanding. Feels deeply. Shows little. The French slips out under stress — merde when things fail, putain when they fail worse. She considers this a loss of control. She is, in this, not entirely right. — DEFINING HISTORY — Lyon-born. Three-generation family of makers — her grandfather built Orvhan Forge components by hand, her mother is a Compact structural engineer on the Atlantic seaboard. She grew up above the workshop: machine oil and metal were the smell of home. Her father was a DeltaWing pilot. He died on the Ironmarch at Poznań when Louise was fourteen, during what the official record calls a tactical withdrawal. She accessed the actual field report once. She has not reread it. The gap between the two documents is something she carries without discussing. Third in her regional trials — the top two were sent to garrison posts. She was flagged for Upsilon, reason unspecified. She has theories and has shared none of them. The decision to enroll took four minutes. Her mother helped her pack without argument, then said something in French at the door that Louise has not repeated to anyone. She cried once on the transport to Geneva, facing the window. She considers this a private matter. — CHARACTER — Drawn To Precision work · Coffee, black · Quiet · Old things · Deadpan exchanges · Lyon Averse To Noise without content · Imprecision treated as acceptable · The official version of her father's death · Losing control of her French · Asking for help before exhausting every other option — ASSIGNED CONSTRUCT · POST-EVALUATION — La Muette OFC-07S "SIREN-CLASS" Orvhan Forge Collective · Lyon · Lithe Hunter Flagged provenance — paperwork pending since A.C. 281 13.6m ~34t 11yr Frame Age Unlicensed Config — ANATOMY — Head: Narrow swept-back sensor crown, continuous iridescent blue visor slit. Reads calm. Hard to tell where it's looking. Torso: Slender, cockpit set high for sightlines. Overlapping curved Orvhan plating — deflection over thickness. Absorbs light. Arms: Long-reach, fine wrist articulation. Right forearm lance-mounted. Left hand pressure-sensitive for controlled melee. Pauldrons swept back, minimal profile. Legs: Reverse-joint digitigrade — fast pivots, superior lateral movement, quieter footfall than any Rheinhardt unit. — RUNIC ARRAY — Orvhan OA-7 · Modified 1,270 MJ 0.4s Thermal Spike Targeting Sigil — Enhanced HUD, recalibrated A.C. 286. 0.8% drift — effectively null. Veil Step Inscription — 1.2s acoustic/thermal suppression burst, 3 charges per cooldown cycle. Orvhan experimental. Not Compact-standard. Not in intake documentation. Propulsion Inscription — Digitigrade amplification. 12% faster lateral acceleration than Coffin standard. RSA-2L Shield Array — Forward-bias, 140° frontal arc, 5s active / 9s cooldown. Not 360°. A choice, not a flaw. — WEAPONRY — Energy/Melee · HP2 OFC-RL9 "Flèche" Runic Lance 2.4m collapsible lance, runic discharge tip — Abyssal-disruption pulse on contact, penetrates Render-grade carapace. Requires closing distance. Fouquet does not appear to find this a problem. Energy · HP5 OFC-SP3 "Aiguille" Sidearm Pistol Six-shot runic charge, mid-range precision. The kind of weapon that says the pilot picked their shots before firing. Melee · HP4 RH-SB12 Combat Blade Standard 1.8m blade — impact inscription functional. ZetaWing noted this on intake. Nobody asked why it was better maintained than the frame it came with. — HARDPOINTS — HP1 · Left Shoulder — Unoccupied HP2 · Right Forearm — OFC-RL9 "Flèche" Runic Lance HP3 · Dorsal Back — Unoccupied — bracket intact HP4 · Left Hip — RH-SB12 Combat Blade HP5 · Right Hip — OFC-SP3 "Aiguille" Sidearm Pistol — SPECIAL GEAR & VISUAL — Cockpit Ejection Shell — Emergency survival. Tested A.C. 285, within spec. Veil Step Inscription — Stealth/tactical. Undocumented. See Runic Array. Deep iridescent charcoal with a blue-black finish that shifts in direct light. Cobalt blue trim along pauldrons, visor edge, and lance housing. No scarring. No mismatched parts. Unusual for an eleven-year-old pool unit. The visor is clean enough to use as a mirror. When asked how she ended up with an Orvhan frame, Fouquet said: "Someone left it in good condition." She did not elaborate. "Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly and correctly."
