Noble Phantasms Passion’s Cry, Symphony of Wills Rank C Type: Anti-Team Range: 25 m Number of Targets: 1-5 Few opera singers can stand up to Julie’s bright, albeit short legacy. This one song is the sum of her life in one triumphant beautiful chorus that forces humans to flock to her and listen enraptured to her music. Wiles of the Temptress, A Kiss Most Scandalous Rank B Type: Anti-Personnel Range: N/A Number of Targets: 1 Julie d’Aubigny was often the subject various scandals and controversy, the most talked of funnily enough was when she threw caution to the wind and kissed a young noblewoman in the midst of a ball resulting in no less than three men frothing at the mouth to duel her. She cared not for social constructs and let passion drive her. Julie passes this passion on to the person she uses this NP on. She embrace’s them and plants a sensual kiss upon their lips, if she’s allowed to kiss them for more than three seconds, Julie‘s passion becomes liquid fames being poured down the recipient’s throat. (Let’s face it if you're close enough she can plant a smooch on your lips you deserve death) Appearance: Julie d’Aubigny will appear for the Grail War as an absolutely gorgeous woman wearing a fine crimson suit decorated with a fiery pattern in the style popular in France at the time of her life. She is graceful and fluid when in motion. Her skin is white as snow, her hair a wild black mane bound in a men’s ponytail, and her eyes pools of molten gold. She wears a slim top hat and carries an elegant cane with a blooming rose at its head. Julie carries herself as a noble man of her time would, with arrogant poise and utter surety. Personality: Julie has no sense of boundaries nor modesty, caring little if anyone sees her in a state of undress, and often appreciating beauty close up. She does what she wants when she wants, appreciating everything life has to offer. Julie is defiant in the face of authority, often laughing outright when anyone thinks themselves better than anyone else. “I grew up in the palace of a king; he shat and bled as well as any beggar on the streets,” is often what she would say to any ruler thinking themselves better. Julie strolls wherever she goes, humming all the while. She’ll laugh gayly in the face of battle and has no shame in offering beautiful people a night in her bed even in the middle of a fight. She enjoys fighting as much as she appreciates beauty, often seeking combat out when she isn’t trying to get someone into her bed. Julie can’t sit still, and boredom is the bane of her existence. Background: Julie d’Aubigny was easily the most interesting woman in the world during her lifetime. She was a vixen, passion incarnate. She answered to no one’s whim but her own and left a trail of lovers from both sexes in her wake. She was a whirlwind in her youth, traveling the whole of France with Sérannes, a friend of hers. She dressed as a man but made no attempt to hide her sex while she held fencing exhibitions or sang in taverns. While she took many lovers into her bed, Julie would truly fall in love with a young woman for whom she ultimately would burn for. The years that followed she entered Paris and made her name as the finest singer in the city, if not the world. She won duels on stage and off, and was celebrated after a legendary duel of wits with Thévenard, a fellow singer and life long friend. Julie would again fall in love to the fair Fanchon Moreau. She was rejected sadly and tried taking her own life in grief, only to fail to die yet again. She eventually moved on and brought scandal upon them after kissing a young lady at a ball, caring little for the fallout. They won the three duels that came of it and fled to Brussels as they broke- yet again- the King’s rule against dueling. While in Brussels she would remain in trouble with the law for dueling and assault. Then final years of her career would come about. She would, for a final time, fall in love with Marie Louise Thérèse de Senneterre and be with her for years until the time of her death. This would be what broke Julie d’Aubigny. After burying the third and final love of her life Julie retired her voice, traveled to Providence, and then died; from what it isn’t known. Weaknesses: Julie is fine duelist, deadly even, but she is vulnerable to being ganged up on. [/hider]
