Introducing my servant OC : Arianne Chevalier (Pretender)
Note : This character does not exist in any novels and isn’t an historical character. However, her story does exist in my universe !
Without further ado, here is her profile ! :
——————————————————
Character info :
A woman from the countryside of Arles. She was a kindhearted woman who loved her life
in the countryside with various animals, but had to leave her home to move in the city when her parents decided to marry her to a man named Lionel Collin.
Lionel was a respected man in Arles. He inherited his parents business, the citizens loved him... But Lionel was a different man with his wife, Arianne.
Profile 1:
Height/weight: 159cm, 45kg
Origin : "The black cat lady of Arles"
Region : France
Alignment : Neutral-good
Sub-attribute : Earth
Gender: Female
A broken lady who stopped believing in god when no one replied to her prayers and calls for help. She had to take matters in her own hands and people say she comes back as a black cat to guide those who are all by themselves in their misery.
Profile 2:
Arianne was the only one who knew Lionel's real personality. He was scarily smart, manipulative, controlling... He knew how to build a good reputation. To him, Arianne was acquired, she was his property, and made sure she knew he was superior.
But poor Arianne, who had a good heart, initially thought he acted like that due to stress from working so much in his family business. She would try to make him relax, feel good, while thinking «maybe if he's in a good mood he won't hurt me tomorrow », but this tomorrow she hoped for never came. And everytime, he would apologize and act like he regretted his actions to manipulate her even more.
The sad thing is that it worked. She genuinely loved him and blamed herself for failing to be a good wife. Despite her suffering, Arianne forgave her husband every time, but as time passed, she got more and more emotionally exhausted. She finally accepted to acknowledge that something was wrong in their relationship.
So she called for help.
Profile 3 :
« I have no intent of using a holy grail... But if you really want to know what I wish for, I would say that I would love to show you the countryside I grew up in. Would you like that as much I would, master? »
Arianne thinks her past is an important part of herself and keeps a fond memory of her childhood home. Whenever she talks about it with someone, you can see it as a mark of trust and affection.
Profile 4 :
Chat Noir d'Arles
Rank : C
NP type : Anti-personnel/self
Arianne turns into a black cat and summons her beloved animals as spirits to help her attack a single enemy.
As a cat, Arianne has access to every wisdom and answers of humanity, but she can't communicate and will forget those answers as soon as she transforms back.
Profile 5 :
But the citizen of Arles were too enamored by Lionel's charm. He was indeed a charming man, and they refused to believe that such a respectful man could be capable of such things. They thought she was insane and it got to the point of even doctors conforming her insanity. Maybe leaving the calm countryside to leave in the agitated city drove her crazy. Rumors spread... Mothers would tell their children to get away from her. Doctors even advised Lionel to keep her isolated for a while, to rest her mind.
So he locked her, and no one bat an eye.
That's when Arianne started to pray... But no one came. That's when she snapped. It has to stop, so she escaped when she got the perfect occasion. She brought the few animals she could bring with her when she moved. A horse, a dog and of course, a black cat.
Sadly, her husband caught her and killed her beloved animals as a punishment, and reminded her that she brought nothing good to them, just like a black cat. It was the last straw that made her snap. She killed her husband, wrote a message to those who didn't believe her, putting all of her rage and suffering in those words before killing herself.
But even after that, she wasn't peacefully resting, and she will never be. Even years after years, her story was still being told, and some innocent souls in misery testify having seen a black cat trying to guide them. All of those testimonies are from Arles. It is believed that it was Arianne coming back as a black cat to help those that gods and humans won't help.
Clear « interlude » :
If you ask her, she would say that she isn't like other servants, she doesn't see herself at their levels. But ever since she has been summoned, she developed a strong bond with her master, having huge respect and fondness for them, and also gratitude for trusting her.
« If you ever need a familiar shoulder to rest on or a purring session to relax, just call me, I'll be there just like you never gave up on me, master. Don't hesitate, okay? »
Some may think is weird but Arianne is definitely aware and having a cat purring on our lap can be the best therapy to a depressing day... Especially when the fate of humanity depends on you. Even as a demon servant, the kindness in her heart remains strong as she stays true to herself despite everything she has endured.
