Mistral's breeding is very muddled, and much like her mother it's hard to tell at a glance exactly what breeds of dog she has in her. She is very short in stature with a thick double coat of slate grey, marked with pearl white splashes and a few highlights of gold and brown. The pattern of white across her chest and legs hints at her collie heritage, but her curled tail denotes Spitz breeds. She has a foxy face, pointed and with high cheekbones, and a liver spot of brown marks her nose and corresponds to a stripe on her muzzle. The white fur at her scruff, thanks to her breeding, grows thick; when wearing her shawl, it flares almost resembling a feather boa. Her hair, a glorious gold, grows long enough to braid—worn so in fondness of Micah since her first shift.

• Humanization: Moderate. Mistral wears a black shawl (not yet acquired) and a treasured hummingbird necklace, hand-crafted and given to her by Micah as a gift. She wears a found gold ring on one finger.

Optime (Preferred)

Expression

• Outlook: Entitled
• Sociability: Extroverted and social, but her blunt nature and high expectations come off as unfriendly and mean
• Expression: Dominant, extremely commanding
• Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • "Strongest first, weakest last."
  • "Supports laws and societies that protect their own concerns."
  • "Will keep their word if they give it."
  • "Will not help those in need without a reward."

Interaction

• Speech: Loud, confident, bracing, crass. A medium to high feminine pitch, sultry with age and never to be mistaken for motherly.
• Scent: Lilac and daisy, sweet but earthy perfumes. A strong natural scent typical to Trouillefou.
• Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: Telling with her body language. May be thrown into a violent frenzy if faced with cats or tight quarters.
• General Posture and Body Language: Typically bold and unflinching, with a powerful gait and a commanding gaze. Mistral seeks to own every exchange and is unafraid to show her dissatisfaction therein. She is wholly confident of her body and holds herself as such, extremely feminine in her physical mannerisms.

Summary

Entitled, bossy, narcissistic. Either oblivious to or unconcerned about the emotions and well-being of others. Not bloodthirsty, but willing to do whatever it takes to see her goals met. Self-preservative; hides behind hired help and poisons. Willing to get her hands dirty, but too ladylike for warfare and combat. A woman so damaged by her experiences that she clings to birthright, and seeks out power and fortune she feels she is owed. Somewhat unskilled, but completely convinced she bears the natural talent to do anything she desires. Claustrophobic, ailurophobic. Primarily trained in poisons, diplomacy, and the flute.

3.2  Relations

Key Relations

• Micah Sunrise Lykoi — Mimi's dedicated, albeit awkward, surrogate father that raised her in Cercatori d'Arte from a very young age after rescuing her from a predator in Halifax. In that Mimi is young and unnaturally abrasive, their relationship is complicated but the love is undeniably there. From Micah, Mimi adopted a high appreciation for the arts and music, an eye for detail and a personality the polar opposite of his after witnessing for herself the trials his weak-mindedness put him in.

• Achilles Kokinos — The strange, short-tempered loner who spared her life after she attempted to steal from him at a young age. After making her work to obtain it, he traded to her the flute she so desired to teach her a lesson. Though she clearly tries his patience Achilles pities her, having realized she is as defenseless as she is traumatized and begrudgingly allows her to stick around when she comes by, occasionally accompanying her on trips to ensure his safety and attend to his own missions meanwhile. Seems to have a soft spot for women, particularly tough ones that resemble his sister. After the murder of Shiloh Dawnbringer, Achilles abandoned Mistral for good.

Positive Relations

• Linden Aatte — The only Courtier that had, in Mistral's opinion, gone out of his way to show kindness to her. Her young-girl crush turned into a whirlwind as an adult, resulting in children despite the parents' questionable difference in age.

Neutral / Negative

• Jontae de l'Or — As a puppy, Mimi's mother was her god, the terrible authority that came crashing down on her when she made a mistake. She was too scared of her mother to disobey or ask about life outside of the junkyard where she spent her first two months. Her fear of cats comes from Jontae's ability to command them; cats are therefore an extension of her mother and will tattle on her if she misbehaves. When her mother was murdered, Mistral watched the cats devour her corpse.
• Domovoi Tarasova was the nameless stranger that showed up with the intention to rescue her as a puppy, but ended up beheading Jontae. Mistral witnessed the murder and became terrified of the male, hiding from him until he left. She has nightmares about him coming back for her because she is too much like her mother. She found him beaten up and miserable in January 2014 and decided him no longer fit to be feared.

• Silvano Sadira is the King of Cour des Miracles and a just, thoughtful man — except in the eyes of Mistral, who yearns for her rightful birthright as Queen and sees Silvano as a thief and a heretic. She actively spreads false gossip about him and voices loudly her poor opinion, determined to tear him down by any means necessary.
• Shiloh Dawnbringer was an unfortunate target of Mistral's rage, more or less in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was poisoned by Mistral (who was trying to get at her mate, Silvano) in July 2014 while pregnant. Her children were endangered; Myrkr was permanently affected and one pup died as a result. Years later, Mistral bludgeoned Shiloh to death with her own staff after an altercation.
• Judas Poer de Aika XIII — Although she technically has Judas to thank for her life, the wolf captured the two-month-old in the days following her mother's murder. Seeking to test how much more traumatized she could become, he locked her in a birdcage for over two weeks and provided just enough sustenance for her to survive. In early February 2014 she surmised that Lowry Lykoi was killed by Judas as an innocent bystander for the return of the cage she was captured in, and she has lived in fear for her life since. She has not yet learned of his death, though she has learned through Wraith that he is being hunted.
