After having lost her husband to battle, and heeding the advice of a friend to escape her sorrows, Elizabeth left America for France alongside Lafayette in 1781, staying with the Marquis and his wife, giving birth to her and her late husband’s son the same day the Marquis was received at Versailles (Jan. 22).

WELCOME ;   MIKHA’EL  ASTRUC !   +  @piusprorege

MUSE: name: mikha'el astruc faceclaim : priyanka chopra age: 35 gender: agender ( would most likely use androgynous or tumtum as a self identifier ) nationality: ashkenazi jewish occupation: intracommunity law enforcement of a sort; since jewish communities at the time tended to be under different laws or considered foreign, they participated in a sort of militia-esque police force position in society: sans-culotte views on the revolution: very cautiously in support of the revolution in the hopes that ’LIBERTÉ, ÉGALITÉ & FRATERNITÉ ’  might aid in jewish emancipation/equality participates in the arranged marriage plot: if there’s a context in which it would make sense, but likely not

short biography: raised ( and perhaps not born, though they neither know nor care ) in france, they’ve had some time to see the tension grow, both in their more secluded community and outside of it. they couldn’t totally see a place for themselves in either side of people - as a de facto law enforcer, they’re not sure whether it’s concurrent with their duties to side with a revolutionary force. ( not to mention the latent antisemitism that existed in france at the time; it’s easy to be suspicious that anything in that area would actually improve. )

MUN : name : seraf age : 16 pronouns : he/him timezone : est anything else : hey, hopefully its not uncomfortable for me to explore this side of things! both my muse n i are pretty jewish and i thought the dynamic + historical influence might be interesting to explore.

WELCOME ;  PORCIA  COLONNA  !   +   @catosdaughter

MUSE :

name: Porcia Catonis / in this verse Porcia Colonna faceclaim:  Oona Chaplin age: 26 gender: Female nationality:  Italian/Roman occupation: Socialite, amateur scholar position in society: Noblewoman views on the revolution:  Uncertain, Interested, Confused participates in the arranged marriage plot:  Yes

short biography: Porcia’s father is one of the Prince Assistants to the Pope.  His daughter grew up able to sit in with her brother’s lessons, and in her own time has a deep obsession with philosophy, learning, history.  Her family never thought too much of it, because she is warm and inviting enough socially not to raise an eye.  But the state in Rome are contentious, and the Colonna line is shrinking, with few relatives to hold dear, and so she knows she’ll likely be wed off, possibly far away, to secure money and a bit of reaching security.

MUSE : name: Augustin Bon Joseph de Robespierre faceclaim: Aaron Tveit age: 26 gender: cis male nationality: French occupation: lawyer position in society: petit-bourgeoisie views on the revolution: pro-revolution participates in the arranged marriage plot: yes??

short biography: Having been orphaned at the tender age of one year, life wasn’t quiet easy in his early years; inheriting his wayward father’s debts, mistreated by his uncle after his initial guardians passed away. Even though being not as particularly gifted as his older brother, he made his way to the Collège Louis-le-Grand in Paris, becoming a moderately successful lawyer in this process. Now, his brother has become a rising star among his fellow deputies, advocating for the rights of the third estate; and so Augustin follows suit. (totally 3-5 lines)
