Name: Marie Antoinette
Other Names: Marie Antoinette Josèphe Jeanne de Habsbourg-Lorraine, Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen, Archduchess to Austria, Queen of France and Navarre, Widow Capet
Year of Birth: November 2nd, 1755
Current Age: 255
Creature: Vampire
Appearance: Marie was tall as she doesn't really want to divulge her exact height to others. Her eyes are that of a deep blue color, almost like sapphires. She has fair skin which didn't really change after she was changed by her maker, her skin only got better if anything. Her hair is straw blonde. Nothing too outstanding in hue, but she does powder her hair every once in a while. She thinks that she looks better that way than her natural color and it's more easier on the eyes. Her cheeks do have a very light pink tint to it when she has just finished feeding. But, she does put on blush to bring it out just a bit more. The only physical flaws she has is her nose - which is a bit crooked but not that noticeable - and her lips. Her bottom lip is a bit larger than her her upper lip. But, that is inherited by everyone in her bloodline.
Marie wears mostly vintage clothing to keep in touch with her past. Her clothes are mostly dresses and skirts with a sleek pair of heels as she rarely wears pants unless the occasion calls for it. Her hair is kept up at all times when she is out in public, usually in curls and sometimes powdered if the mood strikes her. Her hands, neck and ears are adorned with some of the finest jewelry in London as she could honestly afford it and not rent it like others. On some occasions, she'll wear hats when she sees fit.
Personality: Extremely popular with the gentlemen at court, Marie dazzled them with her charming disposition and ample figure. But she also possessed a strong bearing and confidence which attracted many of the members of court, of both sexes. She loved to dance, enjoyed parties, and was committed to wearing the most fashionable clothing, jewels and hairstyles. Her vibrant personality and willingness to entertain (and be entertained) made her popular with friends and family alike. Her life became an endless pursuit of pleasures and extravagences. She held masked balls that cost thousands, gambled, attended the theatre and late-night parties. Behaving like a spoiled little rich girl, the citizens of France began to question her behavior and commented on her lack of respect for established decorum; it was only a matter of time before some scandal would erupt.

Marie Antoinette (German: Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen; French: Marie Antoinette Josèphe Jeanne de Habsbourg-Lorraine); (Vienna, 2 November 1755 – Paris, 16 October 1793) was an Archduchess of Austria and the Queen of France and Navarre. She was the fifteenth and penultimate child of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I. At the age of fourteen, on the day of her marriage to Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France, she became Dauphine de France. At the death of King Louis XV, in May 1774, her husband ascended the French throne as Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette assumed the title of Queen of France and Navarre. After seven years of marriage she gave birth to a daughter, Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte, the first of their four children.
During the Reign of Terror, at the height of the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette's husband was deposed and the royal family was imprisoned. Marie Antoinette was tried, convicted of treason and executed by guillotine on 16 October 1793, nine months after her husband.
But, her execution wasn't as quite as it seemed to the public on October 16th. She had managed to pull a few strings while she sat in prison to get one of her former servants to stand in for her. She promised to the servant that her family would be amply provided with money for the rest of their lives. The servant agreed as Marie planned her escape from the prison. With help from a few very close colleagues, she managed to leave the prison and have the servant be her at the guillotine to be beheaded. Marie was free from that wretched place, but she had nowhere else to go. So, she "self-exiled" herself to Italy, knowing that she wouldn't be hassled by anyone there. She stayed in Florence, throwing party after party until one night, she passed out cold from all the wine she drank. From there, she claims that everything was a bit scrambled to her. What she could remember was a man towering over her and coming up close to her. Next thing she knew, she got a sharp pain in her neck and passed out cold again. Once she awoke, the man was gone and she had a bite mark on her neck. Her sire was gone and she was confused and helpless to say the least as to what just happened. Marie never knew her sire's name, for he only was around long enough to teach her the ropes and soon leave thereafter.
Marie stayed in Florence for a half a century before moving onto Paris. She wanted to be back with her people, but she was afraid that she would be noticed and cause an uproar. Thankfully, that is not the case as she arrived in Versailles, managing to stay in her palace unnoticed.
