<div class="floatleft">(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/babycakes_0765/Steampunk/brunette.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong>Marie Broussard<br/><strong>Played by:</strong>Zillah<br/><strong>Character Age:</strong>28<br/><strong>Character Role In Game:</strong>Harlot<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Bisexual, dominant<br/><strong>Interested Fetish, or Kinks:</strong>Spankings, floggings, and whippings ... both giving and receiving. Marie loves a little pain with her decadent pleasures.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Marie is every inch the Domme - she always comports herself properly in front of others. She speaks very formally, she's always dressed immaculately, and her hair and make-up is always flawless. She never appears rattled, in any situation, athough a glimmer of fire in her eyes might give away her displeasure. She's very independent, and self-reliant. She doesn't trust too many people, but once you've gotten Marie's trust, you've gotten it for life. Marie's not terribly book smart, but she's good at reading people, and she's very street smart, having been schooled on the streets of Paris rather than at libraries and universities, like most others at the Pleasure Dome..<br/><br/>Marie is fiercely loyal to Lee Chang; she'd never knowingly do anything to hurt him or jeopardize his trust. And she's also fiercely protective of Roxanne and Charlotte - anyone who messes with her girls is going to get a whole lot of trouble from Marie. As the resident wild child, Roxanne makes Marie want to pull out her hair sometimes ... but in front of everyone, she'll always defend the redhead (though behind closed doors, she might give her a piece of her mind and one hell of a paddling). And Charlotte is someone she adores, and always wants to help ... although sometimes she puts the girl in very public and very embarrassing situations, because she knows the girl secretly loves it.<br/><br/><strong>Character Background:</strong>Marie Broussard is a former burlesque dancer and prostitute from Paris. She's a self-made girl - she grew up in an orphanage, never knowing who her real parents were. She gained a slight amount of notoriety for herself with her burlesque show, which became so infamous for how raunchy it was (it involved whips, a lot of ostrich feathers, two other naked girls, and a watermelon), she was briefly thrown in jail for a short amount of time. Only a few well-placed bribes - and a few well-placed messages, telling certain officials in Paris about certain photographs she'd secretly taken of them in compromising positions - got in out of jail without incident. But after that, she'd made enough enemies in Paris to where she knew she needed to leave.<br/><br/>During her him as a dancer, Marie had met Lee Chang, and enjoyed the pleasure of his company. By chance, she ran into him again shortly after leaving the jails of Paris.  She finally got to see some of the marvelous devices he'd invented, and she became utterly infatuated with both him and his mad contraptions. So when he invited her to come to the Pleasure Dome, she accepted without any hesitation. She is happy to be there, with her 'sisters' in crime, Roxanne and Charlotte, to do his bidding as well as pleasing others who come to the Dome.
