Early Life[]
Elvire Marie Étiennette Perrine d’Orleans was born on 6 July 229 BDC (23195 EUC) in Celmans, Novara-Archelonia. Her father was the Comte-abbé of Saint-Albin, Louis-Philippe d’Orleans, and her mother was Étiennette Marie Perrine Le Marquis. Her family ancestry were originally from an illegitimate family descended from a Leonese commoner woman who served as the mistress to King Henry VII of Novara-Archelonia, but was legitimized and ennobled by his successor Edward V (who were childhood friends with the offspring from that affair.)
Elvire was privately tutored in her early life, learning various languages, math, the sciences and the arts, such knowledge that would give her a simple noblewoman’s life and would lead a normal life. However her heart always belonged to martial ability. Inspired by stories of her grandmother, Zéphyrine, she began training in the spear at age 12, and joined the military at the age of 15.
Elvire had an extensive military history spanning eighty years and ongoing. She fought for the Royal Army during conflicts with the Realm of Light and with Bourgogne during the Yuktobanian Civil Wars and the Four Years War respectively.
However over the course of her career, she had personally seen the plight of the lower classes and the disenfranchised peoples of her countrymen. Because of this, and many other grievances as a result of mismanagement by nobles, she went on to become one of Prince Charles’ early supporters, joining the prince in exile in Plantagenia.
Now stripped of rank by the Henricians, Elvire places her hopes on Prince Charles, in hopes of returning to the home of her birth.
