#rough blurb

the mercier family which was predominantly male, have been around for over three centuries. reine and her younger sister are the first two females born into the family for just a few years over a century.

from an early age, her mother taught her how to master poise and exhibit elegance effortlessly. from how she held herself to how she talked to what she wore. whilst her father showed and taught her what it meant and took to be a hunter. she excelled, showing more promise unarmed than with a weapon in her hands. although if you see her with her dual sai? run.

reine’s family originally reign from neuilly-sur-seine in france, with townhouses and mansions all over other french towns, more so in paris. although, when she was five, they moved to paris on a more permanent basis. it was there she witnessed the death of her father after his vendetta with a coven lead to his demise.

being forced watching him bleed from every pore lit a fire within her, a flame that to this day has never stopped burning and although she may have mercy when it comes to humans, she has an extreme hatred of witches. to avenge her fathers death she enlisted help of other family members and allies to execute the members of the coven with one request, the leader was left to her who, like reine’s father, bled out of every pore before her death.

after years of dedicating her time and effort into her faction, which she became the leader by birth right because of her fathers death. reine, by default took over his seat on the council which a few of her people grew envious of, not only did they view a woman running their faction ridiculous because she in no means was anything like her father, but a council member too? those who protested were dealt with and those who were challenged? lost. she was her fathers daughter after all.

reine’s other weapon is a whip made out of silver electrum wire which has been enchanted into a pendant. when she uses it as a weapon, the actual pendant area of the necklace becomes a sharp bladed end whilst the rest extends upon throwing.

coming to birch bay and leaving her sister and family, as well as some of her people was something she struggled in adjusting to but this was a fight she couldn’t miss and didn’t want to. her responsibility was to save lives, human lives and to investigate / stop the mysterious deaths in the town of birch bay.
