A character profile for 

Name: Mousquetaire Cerise
Age: Claims to be 19 (and has been doing so for quite some time)

Rank: Serpent


Personality: If one were to describe Mousquetaire (or Moose, a nickname she's not particularly fond of), they might choose words like "cold", "elitist", "dismissive", or "stuck-up bitch". Of course, those words hardly capture her full nature.
Mousquetaire generally regards the average Daten citizen with an air of indifference, and her professional colleagues hardly receive much more personal attention from her, with most of her focus being on the task at hand (unless, of course, there's potential for advancement in it for her). However, she becomes much more personable and open to casual conversation when one brings up her greatest passion: the theater.

It's no secret that Mousquetaire absolutely loves the dramatic arts, from stage to cinema, comedy to tragedy (especially tragedy). If you mention seeing a recent film or play, Mousqetaire will instantly give you her opinion of it, when she saw it, how it compares to other works, and several other bits of trivia you never asked for.

Of course, even then, she comes across as something of a theater snob, so she doesn't exactly have a lot of friends. She certainly has a few connections within Daten's entertainment district, and can get tickets to just about any film or play she desires (one of the perks of being a popular critic), but having someone to attend such functions with is another matter.

Of course, despite her distant or snobbish attitude, when it comes to more pertinent matters, such as trying to get a leg up on the horrid angel menace, Mousqetaire handles her duties as a demon professionally and efficiently. Of course, it's obvious that she'd much rather be in her theater gown than her stuffy uniform.


Bio: To those around her, Mousquetaire is something of an enigma. Of course, that's mostly because few have really taken the time to dig deep into her personal life. Her public image is that of one of Daten's notable authorities on the theater, so influential that her personal review blog has more followers within the city than some dedicated film and theater publications. A (fairly rare) positive review is a good indication that the film or play in question with succeed.

Of course, that's merely one side of the coin. Away from the public eye, Mousquetaire uses her unique position among the public to help slander and paint a bad image of the "beloved guardians" of the city. Among her peers, Mousquetaire's hatred of angels it quite outspoken, though when it comes to directly fighting with them, she seems to hold quite a bit of reluctance to actually engage.

However, rumors have been popping up that Mousquetaire is involved in some sort of underground fight club, many citing her unusually toned body and somewhat liberal use of eye makeup as evidence. Those that happen to catch her with her signature opera gloves off claim to see bruised knuckles on occasion. Any such ridiculous notions are immediately denied, however. Mousequetaire just happens to have a strict workout regimen, obviously. After all, how can one enjoy a play when you can't even fit in the seats? Oh that black eye? She... she merely slipped off the treadmill is all. Stop asking questions.


History: As a human, Mousquetaire lived in France during the 1700's, as the only child and proud daughter of a lesser noble family, one that etched a proud lineage through her nation's military. She was proud of her family's tradition, especially considering she was named for the unit her father served in, and the fantastic stories of battles fought by her grandfather and great grandfathers, but despite being her family's only child, wasn't able to serve, being a woman.

Tragically, her father was killed in the Battle of Fontenoy, leaving Mousquetaire his only child. Distraught that, even after begging and pleading, she was still denied from serving, and with the realization that her family's tradition would die with her father, she became desperate. And of course, like many others that were at the end of their ropes and out of options, a demon happened along ready to make her a deal.

Her soul, for the chance to fight in a grand battle unlike anything her father, her grandfather, any man in her family had ever been in. Needless to say, she leaped at the chance.

Of course, the catch was, it had never been specified when or where this battle would take place. Utterly refusing to marry to the day she died, wanting to keep her family name, she lived out her human life alone, without serving in a war, and she would spend many, many of her early years as a demon sequestered away to herself, embittered by her apparent unfulfilled promise.

Many, many years would pass, and she would eventually arrive in Daten City, the very site of the Hellsmonkey incident that caused quite a stir among both Heaven and Hell. Perhaps it would be here that Mousquetaire would find that one grand battle to let her live up to her family name.

Her love of film and theater stems from the spectacle of the war stories she'd be told as a child, and her underground fighting from the frustration of never upholding her family's legacy. It's also why she lies about her age: she doesn't want anyone drawing the connection that she's the "not-son" that let her family die out.

-EXTRAS-

-She a penchant for snacking on popcorn. She has a leather glove that she wears over her opera glove so as to protect it from the oily, buttery snack.

-She typically talks with an American accent, but it isn't her real one. Watching so many movies and plays helped her to train her voice and disguise her normal French accent.

-Not proficient and damn near useless at disguising herself via magic. Typically goes about her business in her normal appearance, though if a disguise is absolutely needed, she'll make use of a large stash of stage makeup
