Being a natural charmer she uses it to it’s full potential. Whether it be playing the innocent damsel or an enchantress she makes sure that the very pores of her body it oozing it. Craving for attention and excitement she loves to stir things up, some examples including stoking fire to rumors and her favorite, leading men on. Being very much like her father there is always a smile or smirk on her face that suggest she knows something that you don’t. She can be sly, coy, and clever, only giving a hint of her mischievous mind that is was plotting.
If you get to know her, you'll find a nice girl in Adrienne. Indeed, she is not the bitch she seems to be all the time. Yes, she is blunt. She'll tell you what she thinks without showing any kind of tact and all, friend or not. She'll be blunt, and sometimes she will seem bitchy because of it, too. But that is just how she is. She's not the kind to shut up just to seem nice. If you annoy her, be sure she'll tell you! If you are her friend, she will love to make you laugh. She won’t go as far as to seem stupid in public, because she's not one of those ridiculous person, but she will be a fool. She will be there to ear you whine about stuff and she'll try to comfort you if something goes wrong, but due to her bluntness and lack of tact, she probably wouldn't be much help. Not like she doesn't try, though.
Her pride is one of her downfalls; she thinks very highly of herself and considers herself of great importance to family and to her peers. While it is a sin and throughout her life others have tried to get her to rid herself of it she can’t. She won’t back down in an argument with anyone, even a king. However she knows that there is always a time and a place for such unpleasantries and doesn’t want to embarrass herself or her court and therefore knows when to hold her tongue much to her displeasure and she has been known to be taken advantage of because of it.
However, her bluntness can take a back seat when it comes to a situation where she needs to observe. This is one of the things that makes her so good at what she does. When it comes to a situation where all her intelligence is needed to focus on one thing, she can. While most people would make wild accusations of guilt or innocence, what people thought or felt, Adrienne sits back and allows people just enough rope to hang themselves, all the while never revealing what she’s doing.
Adrienne has a horrible issue with control.The thought of someone having any type of control over her will send her into something very similar to a panic attack. This is a lot of the reason she has fought so hard against getting betrothed or married. She can become ridiculous about it, to the point that she will refuse orders to avoid not being in total control.
Adrienne has a sharp whit and a smart mind. She’s extremely intelligent and will use it to her advantage. She is almost never at a loss for words, and has a brash tongue that can sting. She’s a good liar and a good actress, and is often well known as the girl with the perfect poker face. She can control all of her body’s reactions very well when she lies, having become so comfortable with it that her pupils don’t dilate and her pulse doesn’t speed up. And, she has a mannerism of speaking that can lead you down the path to hell and you’d think she’s taking you to heaven in a hand basket of silk.
As much as she has a dislike for her mother, there is one quality that the two share, and a lot of the time end up clashing because of it is their temper. Adrienne’s anger is her biggest downfall as she has a very hard time controlling it and will lash out at anyone when she is angry that gets in her way. Of course she will refrain from yelling at those above her in stature but her servants and ladies in waiting have all had the unpleasant experience of feeling her wrath. However in private when there is no one else around if the person she is angry with is above her she won’t hold back as she is a lady of rank and feels she has the right let them know of her anger.
When angry Adrienne doesn’t care who is around to see her. Her tongue is made of venom and fire with matching eyes. She’ll take vengeance whether it be humiliating someone or completely tearing them to bits with words, and without a second thought. Seeing this side of her isn’t very pleasant and should be avoid at any cost.
She is incredibly flirtatious, often not distinguishing between availability and even gender. During her time at the French court, she made several married women her enemies when she was caught in a shameless flirtation with their husbands or their daughters. She often blew it off, not worried about it, but it built her quite a reputation.
Unfortunately this leaves her with quite a few enemies, mostly woman. But she could care less. Why let others ruin her fun?

Alexandre de Marque, 41, Marquis d'Apcher, living Iseabeau de Marque nee Baptiste, 37, Marquess d'Apcher, living Etienne de Marque, 22, brother, living Dimitri de Marque, 21, brother, living Felix de Marque, 20, brother, living - - - - Overall History, Adrienne was born into high society. Her father, Alexandre de Marque is part of one of the longest bloodlines in France. Her mother, Isabeau de Marque (nee Baptiste) however, is from a family notorious for their bad bloodlines, but is considered to be one of the most beautiful women in France. Born with natural good looks and given the best a girl could have, the young woman was expected for great things from the moment she entered the world.
Adrienne was born the fourth child of the bloodline in the cold of the French winter. She was beautiful, even as a baby. From the beginning she was given all she could have. The best dresses, the best tutors, the best books, even the best horses when she was far too young to ride. She was the only girl of the family, and her father worshiped her, refusing to deny the little girl anything.
She and her brothers were always very close, more so to Etienne than the other two. He was like a second father to her, and often was her protector in every since of the word. She often ran with them when she was young and did everything they did, including wrestling, racing, fighting, and gaining her fair share of scars before her parents could do anything about it.
When she turned eleven, she was then given a place at court, where an older, very wealthy Duchesse Imilee d’Anjou found the young girl enchanting. She took Adrienne under her wing with little dispute from her family. She cultured the young woman, taught her the ways of being a lady and how to carry herself with poise and grace that attracted attention. The Duchess found her a rather pleasant companion and often took Adrienne with her everywhere, more so than anyone else. The young lady seemed to have a knack for charming people to get what she wanted, and in this case what she wanted was a place in society.
Despite that Adrienne was moving herself up through society; Etienne was the prodigy child of her family. He was constantly put out to be seen and shown off, paraded around in front of all the single women with any money for hopes of a marriage proposal from the girl’s family. Of course, Adrienne had no desire to marry off, so if she was asked to parade around, she would often act dull-witted and lifeless so men would leave her be. It worked for a while, until Etienne became betrothed.
Then, her family pushed harder for Adrienne to marry, despite the fact that she always pushed back. Her mother constantly told her it was an embarrassment on Adrienne that her brother would be married before she. But that didn’t bother Adrienne. While she had high dreams of her future, marriage was not one of those dreams.
When she turned sixteen, she was approached by the Duc Louis d’Anjou, the husband of her mentor, and was asked to become his mistress. Even though it had already been arranged by her mother, with the intentions of it furthering the family, Adrienne balked at the idea. She immediately, and publicly, called him down and asked the King for permission to leave court. From that moment on, her parents pushed her to the back and began furthering Adrienne’s little cousin, Emilee into the world of the court, which was perfectly fine with Adrienne.
While she was not allowed to leave court, she often stayed far to the back, out of the way of eyes and hands. The Duc continued to pursue her relentlessly, and sometimes, rather violently. Adrienne got to the point where she would go no where without her brothers or her father who became sort of like body guards to her. She thought it was never going to end, and that she would never be free, even if she did marry.
That was until Adrienne's father was given a position as a French ambassador to the English court, a position which required the entire family to pick up the pieces and move to England, where Adrienne was given the opportunity to anew, with a new, and far brighter outlook on life.
She swept through the English court like a hurricane, liked by most people for her sweet, innocent demeanor she had adopted as part of her chance to "start over". However, she kept her flirtatious nature, and her elegant stance to give her an air of mystery. She took up a position as a Lady in Waiting to the Queen, where she has been sense.
[/font]- - - - - Roleplay Sample,
Adriana was only slightly chilled by the February air as she moved out to the stables. Now that she was back in the English court, she remembered why she loved her home country of France so much more. It was warmer, less dreary. Even the winters there were beautiful. She sighed, pulling on her gloves as she moved.
She was dressed in a rich, gold and green riding habit, her honey blonde curls piled elegantly on the back of her head. Over her riding habit was a thick, white fur cloak, poised to keep her warm. Her riding boots clicked authoritatively across the cobblestone walk leading to the stables.
She quickly ducked inside the stables so she was protected from the harsh wind outside and was immediately attended to by a stable boy. This time she had brought Constantine, her dapple gray Andalusian stallion with her, and he had made quite an impression on the stable boys with his thick, strong neck and powerful legs. She smiled kindly to the stable boy.
“Are you taking out Constantine again today, ma'am?”
She nodded, "That I am." She replied in her most authoritative, but not unkind voice. "If you would, please saddle him up." She reached inside of her cloak and produced a small silver piece for him. He took it and rushed off, her watching him all the while.
She was only distracted when she heard footsteps that were not hers or the stable boy's. She sighed, rubbing her temples. "Dieu ait pitié d'un pauvre jeune fille française." She whispered to herself softly, then waited.
