Difference between revisions of "Sebastien/Contacts"

*'''Gilliam desArdennais:''' Sebastien's father, current patriarch of the line. A stocky, hardy man, as befits a son of the Ardennes mountains. He combines discipline, hard physical labor, and ruthless business acumen into one astute package, often surprising his business associates, who rarely expect a horse-breeder to have quite so much savoire-faire. They are qualities that do justice to the legacy of his ancestry...and also make him a formidable force as a father figure.

*'''Marilla desArdennais (nee Highgate):''' Sebastien's mother is a divisive figure within her own marriage. The socialites to whom she was best known in London as a promising debutante cannot fathom why she would choose to move to what is (though quite nice) a sprawling working stable in the mountains of Blegium, while the agrarian, stoic, hard-working people of the Ardennes find her social graces and high-born proclivities charming and a bit strange. After over fifteen years of marriage, she has yet to abandon the lingering habits of a genteel young woman: she is never caught in public without her lipstick, and wears a dress to dinner every evening. Little wonder that she and Gilliam are still madly in love.

*'''Moira desArdennais:''' Older sister #1. She's almost 30 now, and while she and Sebastien were close when he was younger, they've grown apart -- particularly since the gaining of Anette's persona, a bond that Sebastien and Anette share that alienates Moira to some extent.

*'''Anette desArdennais:''' Older sister #2. She's only four years older than Sebastien, and in the time since he was sent home from Westminster School, they've gotten a bit closer -- mostly because he learned that she'd gained a persona, too, from the game that all three siblings played as kids.

*This section is conspicuously empty, at present.

*'''[[Naomi Suzuno]]:''' Business associations were first responsible for introducing the Spencers to the desArdennais -- through an equestrian school attended by their daughter, Naomi. Sebastien and Naomi never knew one another well in spite of their families' history...and what little time they did know one another, they did not ''at all'' get along. There was shouting involved. He also may or may not have filled her riding boots with manure afterward. Their association in Japan seems destined to be fraught with all manner of shenanigans.
