Name: Victoire de Bourbon, Duchess of Gloucester
Date of Birth and Age: 01/02/1653 Twenty
Nationality: Half French/Half English
Occupation/Status: Duchess
Appearance: Pale skin, black hair and dark eyes, almost black. Quite tall and very slender, extremely beautiful, with full lips, dark lashes and rosy cheeks. Resembles her aunt Henrietta Maria, and her black Bourbon French relatives.
Personality: Although seemingly shy and modest at first, Victoire possesses a quick wit, with an air of natural grace and charm about her. Having lived a rather sheltered though glamourous life at various houses and courts, she's always enthusiastic about new experiences and she secretly desires great adventure which will allow her to escape her confines of the gilded cage. Although she is nearly always polite and kind hearted, she still has an element of pride about her...she is after all, royalty.
History : Youngest child of Louis Thomas de Bourbon, great grand-daughter of the French King Henry of Navarre, and second cousin on Charles II of France and Louis XIV of France, she has a great amount of royal blood in her. Has inherited a great amount of wealth after the death of her father, making her extremely desirable to any man looking for a wife...

Roleplay sample:
Minette smiled, and flashed her eyes downwards...
"I despise all this courtly nonsense here..."
"Oh...no...I think it's...wonderous..." exclaimed Victoire, "...I mean...his Majesty is kind, and...and..."
Minette laughed quietly and placed a hand over her cousins.
"You're so sweet and innocent cherie...Versaille is no better than the sewers of Paris..." Victoire's heart fell as she realised Minette had far more experience here at the palace than she...and that she was probably right. And she'd been so excited about coming to Paris. Life just kept throwing disappointment at her.
