She is also incredibly cool to those people she has no respect for. Many people come to the conclusion that Adrienne has no heart. Which is untrue, of course Adrienne has a heart. She just prefer to hide her feelings away. Adrienne enjoys being alone. She revels in her own company, though there are a select few that she will converse with and enjoy it, mainly her brother and the young woman she saved.
Adrienne has no love of the aristocrats. She hates them purely because of the many 'decent' aristocratic men who have used her. She generally dislikes and disrespects men, especially the ones who leer and ogle her. Adrienne likes to meet respected intelligent females. She likes to know that woman can make something of themselves. Adrienne sees pain as a sign of weakness, one she likes to think she has overcome.
While she is cruel and cold, often being nicknamed “the ice woman”, Adrienne is a very loyal friend to those she feels deserves her friendship and underneath the cold exterior is a very warm but faint personality. For all the teaching her mother did has been all but stomped out by the cruelty of life. Adrienne likes to think of herself as a survivor, she has survived her family, being alone and being out on the streets.
Adrienne's secret is that she likes to sing herself lullaby’s like her mother once did, it sometimes helps her to sleep.
ADRIENNE'S RELATIONSHIPS:
friends: adrienne is not a friendly person. while she has a few friends, they are just that - few - she is not the kind of person to make friends willingly but when she is friends with someone, she will stay loyal.
lover: adrienne is not a lover. while she will willingly 'make love' to someone, it is just a job to her. she does not believe in love.
enemies: adrienne probably has a few people who dislike her.
family: the only family member Adrienne talks with is her young (half) brother. She despises her father. She counts the young woman she saved as family. [/style] TWENTY FOUR YEARS OLD COURTESAN |

Nate and Adrienne
Happy Men talk, and I have heard that loose lips sink ships right? Seeing as Adrienne holds no l love the aristocracy how about Nate happens to pay her to do exactly what she already does with other men but get them to talk get information, very important information maybe ? It is he Kinder option she can get back at those Aristos that look down upon her they think she is using her but infact she is using them. So what do you think ?
Maxi and Adrienne
I don't really see them ever meeting and if they did im not sure if they could get along, maybe she helps him out of a spot of bother when hes a street kid or he tries to help her out give her money and food as his normal self and she keeps refusing every time he tries or something ?

Hi there Would Rienne be interested in becoming a 'kept woman?' I can see Chauvelin having a paid mistress (had imagined some faceless, nameless NPC, but an actual character is better ;>), and Rienne is just the sort of smart, clear-eyed businesswoman he would choose. Basically, he would offer a nice place of her own choosing in a good part of town along with a stipend plenty generous for her to live quite well (and buy clothing, jewelry, servants, books, etc.) She would own the place outright, keeping it when they eventually parted ways, though of course the stipend would stop at that point. In return she would have to be available to him 2-3 times a week and to grace his arm at the occasional formal event (additional funds for clothing/jewelry provided at such times). It would also be an exclusive arrangement, as he's a very careful man and there's a reason syphilis is known as 'the French disease.' At a stocky 60, he's not exactly a handsome young hunk, but he's not given to strange fetishes or knocking women around either. Nor is he looking for romance, just a straight-up business deal. If Rienne would be up for it, please let me know.

Nate and Adrienne || I can see that happening. Adrienne would be happy to pass along information. She doesn't really respect men in general, but aristocrats are on the top of her hit list. She'd be up for using the men she hates of course Maxi and Adrienne || Adrienne is not the type to want to accept charity. Especially if he was in his aristocrat guise. She's more likely to help him when he's in a spot of bother than she is to accept his money. Helloo! I could see Rienne being a 'kept woman' if the deal were right for her. She's enjoying the freedom she has at the moment. I think Rienne would find that deal worth taking. Rienne could be exclusively his - why do I keep thinking that Rienne is becoming more and more like Satine from Moulin Rouge anyway. She would just treat it as if her were a 'regular customer'. Good, if he's not looking for romance then he won't be disappointed since Adrienne doesn't believe in love. She doesn't like the ideas of romance. So business is good for her I think that Rienne while she probably won't like him, she'd look the 'perfect' woman for him at his balls and what not. She'd be totally up for it though XD

Nate and Adrienne Thats great and I don't mind if she does not like Nate its not what he's looking for, he will give her plenty of money don't worry about that. As long as she is willing to give him any information that she thinks is useful It Could also if I can intrude on the Chuav and Adrienne plot would she ever be able to gain information on Chuav or would Chuav be too secretive for that as I can see Nate if he were to find out being very happy if she could get the secrets of a government official

Excellent. The deal would afford Rienne a lot of freedom, since most of her time would be her own, and she wouldn't have to worry about cash flow or if her next john might turn out to be some psycho pervert (or infected with an STD, a very real concern in the days before antibiotics). As far as giving away government secrets, that's not something he'd talk about to a courtesan, even his special one. Still, if he's called out of bed with her on some emergency, she might overhear part of whatever it was about. And she might well figure out pretty quickly that he's not the unremarkable mid-level government clerk he pretends to be. What she does with that information is up to her, though. EDIT: Another possibility that occurs to me is him taking her to the occasional event gives her entre to parties where powerful people get drunk, assume they're among friends, and yak accordingly. Not pillow talk, but better in some ways, since it's not limited to a small group of people, and it gives her some measure of deniability if Rienne's not the only one who could've spilled the beans.

Nate and Adrienne || she'd be up for it, just she'd have to stop when she makes her agreement with Chauvelin unless she were to use her 'free' time to carry on. If she were to overhear something she might pass it on if that were okay with Chauvelin
Great because Rienne loves her fancy dresses and jewels. She could overhear something, but I think it might be fun for her to stay sober at one of these balls ans gain all the information then. Ohh idea. What if sometime after she's given away some goverment secret, Chauvelin could realise it was her and confront her, or course she'd deny it and they could get into an argument and yadayada it could be fun xD it would be up to you how he reacted and if he were to stop the deal because of it. Simply because he could probably make her life hell!

Oh I think they would. I think Adrienne would certainly look down on the unrequited love Eponine holds for Marius, that's if she knew about it or had worked it out.

('strumpet' figures into it, and that word doesn't get used nearly enough IMHO). There are plans in the works for a masquerade ball, so there'll be a perfect opportunity. Drunk + masks makes for even more indiscretions.

Would she actually Tell Chuav it was Nate she is sort of working for, for the information as I believe for Chuav that would open a lot of things up. Max and Adrienne No surprises there then though he would be quite insistent plus hes young who can say no to a young kid I could see them meeting after she gets employed by Chuav though

Louis and Rienne We've discussed these two, already Suffice to say all that above about being some owned woman by anyone other than Mr Thenardier does not bode well for Chauvelin or Adrienne. Monsieur Thenardier will be going out of his way to use his unique, witty brand of charming violence to extract money from one or the pair of them. I can't imagine Chauvelin will be too happy to find out his mistress is being bullied by a gangster and will probably try and put a stop to it Whatever goes.
