BIO.
ètienne didn’t come into france screaming; he came in with intention. as a child rather than playing with toys he played with books even when he couldn’t read yet. he would flip through and point at the pictures and the big words that went along with them. toys bored him but books always satisfied him. this was a running theme in his life. his parents, gabriel and aurélie, fostered this desire in young ètienne, urging him to learn to read at a very young age: two years old. ètienne never disappointed.
as he grew into a small boy, ètienne began reading about the magic he was conjuring without understanding what it was. his parents would explain things but he didn’t just take his word for it — he needed to see it in the written word to know what was true. he wanted to know all of it, especially the parts his parents didn’t want him knowing about. what was the good in learning about something of not to learn about all of it? that became his motto in life.
before he knew it he would have a sister, estelle. he did what he could to show her the ropes, teach her to read and instill everything knowledge had to offer. he was never overflowing with emotions but that didn't mean he had nothing to offer his sister, parents or anyone else. if he cared it was obvious.
when he finally got his letter for beauxbatons he was beyond the moon. finally he had a place to go with an extensive library, people to talk to, new things to learn about and honing his craft. it’s what he had waited for his whole eleven years and there it was. leaving home was an adjustment but ètienne had no problem making friends. in fact, he was quite good at getting people to like him. if he liked the person he brought them into his circle. he had his pick of the litter. he always believed he was simply endearing to the max. however, that wasn't the case. ètienne was 1/8 veela, a fact of which he was unaware.
the one person that always told him no was apolline beauséjour. he tried asking her out but she refused him. he was confused about it because everyone else jumped at the chance. he accepted it for what it was but she was someone filed in his memory bank because of that two-letter word. from then on, he went on with his playboy ways, finding anyone he wanted and getting what he wanted.
after graduating from beauxbatons, ètienne decided to move to london. he wanted to see more of the world and going from france to work at the international law office in the ministry would give him the chance to spread his french roots into london. there was the added benefit that that's where his little sister had been for some time.
unfortunately while he was there he found out that apolline was attacked and sent back to france. he immediately went to see her. she may have turned him down in the past but they knew one enough well enough from being in the same circles that he truly cared to know that she was okay. when he got there, the pair's parents announced that there would be a betrothal. shock would put it lightly. ètienne cared for apolline but a betrothal was out of the blue and knocked the wind out of him, not knowing that he ever wanted to get married to anyone.
now ètienne found himself at a crossroads between a betrothal, a war where he finds himself neutral because he doesn't know what to do, clinging to his job to keep him sane, hooking up with whoever he can -- his life was messier than it had ever been. he had to deal with the cleanup because ètienne didn't do well in mess.
