Thank you for the tag @orionisms >:DDD
We're obviously going to be yapping about Manon here, because.... Manon.....
Her canon information and her info in the fix-it-save are fairly different, so I'm going to include answers for both contexts with paragraph breaks between.
NAME: Manon Yvaine di Paura.
In her original canon, her maiden name is Ashford de Falstaff, and her married name is von Distrugere.
NICKNAME: Mannie (Mathilde), Stella (Vincente), Manno (me)
GENDER & PRONOUNS: Genderqueer femme, she/her.
AGE: 30s for now - in canon, she's currently in her 160s!
SPOKEN LANGUAGES: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Latin, and Japanese. She's a tryhard.
OCCUPATION: Elementary school art teacher!
In canon, she's retired, but she basically runs an orphanage. She's sort of a fairy godmother type, spiriting away children in need to her magical house in the countryside and teaching them secrets about the universe ^_^
ENTERTAINMENT: Cooking, reading, tagging along on Vincente's evil-villain-missions to look hot and snoop on his business.
DRINK: Jasmine tea, and any sort of fun fruity girly cocktail. Bonus points if there's a little umbrella.
PAST-TIME: Hosting parties, sewing, painting, and gardening.
PASSED UNIVERSITY: She went to art school in her teens/twenties, and then (little bit of a spoiler) I'm doing a timeskip like 10-12 years in the future soon, and during that time she got a PhD in something relating to philosophy and art.
In canon, however, no! She never even officially went to school, she was trained by some tutors when she was young, and then she just sort of traveled around the world devouring everything in the various libraries she found.
HAD SEX: Yes. Constantly. Insatiably.
In canon (given, at age 160,) she's had seven partners in total.
HAD SEX IN PUBLIC: If you count out in nature, yes...
GOT SCARRED: In her original canon, yes! When she was a little girl, she lost her left arm and it was replaced via alchemy - but it left a scar where the original was lost. Later, in her 30s, she saved a loved one from a fire, and got some pretty serious burn scars on her right hand and arm. She was later reborn into a new body though (it's complicated..) so she doesn't have the scars anymore.
HAD A BROKEN HEART: Yes. In canon, she's had seven partners, but three (or four if you count Arthur) true loves. The first was Nikolas/Nicolo, her childhood best friend and the love of her life. He signalled incredibly strongly that he wanted to marry her, and then changed his mind and married her childhood bully instead. Arzyl was her partner in her 60s and 70s, and she loved him a lot, but she was an incredibly unhealthy influence on him & a bad partner so one day he just ghosted her. Then there's Vincente of course, and Arthur after him :).
Nicolo and the associated heartbreak is incredibly fundamental to Manon's narrative, so he still exists in the fix-it save, but I haven't decided about Arzyl yet. We shall see...
A CUDDLER: Yes. Specifically, she often gets rather visually overstimulated, and likes to hide her eyes in Vincente's shoulder.
EASILY JEALOUS: She isn't worried about it, she knows Vincente is obsessed with her and always will be - but if for some reason there was cause for concern, she'd be a criminal about it for sure.
TRUSTWORTHY: Sims Manon? Yes.
Canon Manon? Kiiinda...? She's kind of a Reformed Villain at this point, and while she won't betray people unless she has to, she will throw just about anyone under the bus if it's them or her, with very few exceptions - Primarily, Arthur. I don't know if he'll appear in the fix it save (probably not), but in canon Vincente disappeared about fifty years ago, and Manon and Arthur have since entered like the world's most wholesome evil-villain-QPR.
SIBLINGS: Sims Manon has one sister, Mathilde, and that's it!
Canon Manon had three sisters, including a twin named Ophelie - though all of them are long dead by now.
PARENTS: Sims Manon's parents were wealthy socialites who died in some sort of vague political attack, after which she was adopted by Aurele/Goro - who we might see more of someday. Unsure.
In canon, her parents were nobles in a dying kingdom. Her father Conrad stayed with his king instead of fleeing with his family. He had divorced her mother Mathilde sr. years before, and Manon never really saw her, and her stepmother died some years later. She was never close with any of them. While she never was officially adopted by anyone, she was a ward to an advisor of Nicolo's father, the king, and grew up in his court. She and Nicolo were both devoted students of Aurele's, and he really was the one who raised her. Later, she was taken in by a druid elf, Earnest.
CHILDREN: Sims Manon has two children, Santo and Marie-Jeanne, who we'll see soon.
In canon, she has had so many and adopted so many more that it's really hard to give an accurate count. In the high teens at least.
PETS: In sims, just Irene!
In canon, she has an uncountable about of identical grey cats, a pair of giant rabbits named Lanre and Lyra, Irene, a goat named Dennis, and a lot of chickens :)
OKAY THATS ALL. thank you for reading my yapping. Or for scrolling past it idk I won't know either way.
