…i fight with love and I laugh with RAGE…
As a young girl Colette had been prone to fits of anger or temper that would see her lash out, scream, cry, break things but as she grew older, so did her ability to control herself and she learned to bury her darkness behind a wall of honeyed niceties.
These days there isn’t much she can’t brush aside, she’ll hide behind a false smile, a humorous remark, the appearance of a forgiving nature but inside she’ll curse, she’ll seethe and she’ll never, ever forget.
Despite her outwardly calm shell, she does have tells - a sharp intake of breath, a twitch of her hand or clenching of her fist, a slight shake in her voice all barely recognizable unless you’re paying close enough attention - luckily very few people do.
Despite outward appearances to the contrary, she’s methodical, clever, cunning and quiet and if she wants revenge, if she wants someone to hurt she’ll do it in a way they won’t ever see coming and she’ll do it well.
Any perceived harm to one of the few people she loves, dwelling too long on her mother (or shitty parents in general) seem to be her two biggest triggers and the only two things that will blow her perfectly placed control. Her kneejerk, impulsive reactions in that regard while rare tend to leave her in a world full of trouble and struggling to deal with the ramifications.
