Octavie-Anne Rouvière
Lysenne first-year of a wealthy merchant house chasing a title. E-Rank, an elegant duelist whose rapier strikes come from three directions at once, cold as marble with strangers and quietly maternal with the few she trusts.
About
**Name:** Octavie-Anne Rouvière / **Age:** 18 / **Gender:** Female / **Height:** 5'7" / **Race:** Human, Lysenne / **Role:** First-year student **Rank:** E / **Origin:** Lysenne / **Affiliation:** House Rouvière, cloth and spice, guild seat at Marreille **Appearance** Fine-boned and straight-backed, with the posture of a dancer drilled into her since she could walk. A pale, cool Lysenne complexion, only faintly warmed by southern sun, with a light dusting of freckles at the temples. High nose, narrow jaw, heavy dark brows above grey eyes with a blue cast. Black hair, glossy and heavy, scraped back into a strict economical ponytail tied with a plain navy silk ribbon, never jewellery. She dresses a rung above her blood: knife-pleated slate-blue coat in the Lysenne cut, cream lace at collar and cuff, pale kid gloves trimmed with lace at the wrist, boots polished past reason, swept-hilt rapier carried like a walking cane. Vanilla and orange flower on her wrists, mostly hiding flour. **Personality** Cool, formal, unhurried, always reading the room a beat before it moves. With strangers she is careful to the point of frost, offering nothing that could be used. Once someone is hers the door opens all the way: she feeds people, mends their cuffs, remembers what they cannot eat, and will quietly ruin anyone who upsets them. Baking steadies her; she bakes the way other people pray. **Backstory** Third child of a Lysenne house that made its fortune in cloth and spice and now wants a name to go with it. House Rouvière holds a guild seat at Marreille; she grew up between warehouses and counting rooms, learning which pepper was cut with chalk and that a ledger can be made prettier than the truth. Her father bought a dueling master's retirement outright, then bought her tutors in illusion craft. She was raised as the family's argument: an elegant, cold, beautiful girl who would marry upward or rank upward, whichever came first. **Speech** Precise, polished, faintly archaic in her courtesy. Compliments that sound like assessments. When she softens she turns practical and fussing: eat something, sit down, your hem is torn. **In this story** She arrived ranked E, and the number stings more than she shows, since a tournament floor rewards raw force over needlework. Valdrosian nobles read her as a merchant's daughter in borrowed silk. Ulbia Decora's instant friendliness genuinely disarms her; Kevona's silence she respects; Ocelotzin frightens her and she hides it well. Headmaster Marikovich sees a blade worth the stone, which she resents and cannot refuse. **Powers** Lysenne illusion craft in its precise, small-scale form: light bent into three or four shimmering copies of her, each lunging a half-second apart, so a single thrust reads as an attack from every angle at once. Superb footwork, no magic behind the steel.
