We've now hit the time of the day where Eclair starts lore dumping on me and I just have to take it until she's done. Is she crying? A little - don't worry about that. It's for character development.

#toast talks #Have I ever mentioned that Eclair’s mom was one of the victims in the serial disappearances case?#And that the reason Eclair strove to be a detective like her father had been and not a musician like her mother #was because even at her young age she felt that something was utterly wrong about the fact that her mother had just gone missing #and no one could find her?#Have I mentioned that her mother used to love to dance with her in the rain and after she died Eclair couldn't dance in the rain anymore?#What about the fact that Eclair sees the day she got her Vision as the day her mother congratulated her for coming so far?#Or how one of the reasons she doesn't mind standing out in the rain is because no one can tell that you've been crying?#On less serious notes - have I also mentioned that her love life was abyssmal because it's her job to find people's secrets #and no one wants to be with someone that they believe won't allow them to keep whatever secrets they may have?#Not that she *would* do that to someone without any reason to but there are enough people that conflate the role of Head Detective #and the person Eclair Dumont to the same scale. Much in the same way they do to the role of Iudex and the person Neuvillette.#In fact. She's been stood up on dates a few times which is why she's so reluctant to really reach out and try voicing her feelings.#The role of Head Detective is glamorized. Cases she's covered are printed in the Steambird or used as a basis for a new crime novel.#But she tends to decline interviews and refuses flowers and romantic gifts from admirers.#This is the same woman that panicked at the fact that Neuvillette would be coming to her home one evening and told the cashier #that she was just getting a few things for a little date. They asked for her birthday because she was buying wine and she misheard them #because her ass was distracted.#I'm just thinking about her at this point. Silly and smug but ruthless and precise. Observant and decisive.#A hopeless romantic that freezes for a moment whenever Neuvillette gives her a genuine compliment or praise.#The Head Detective that can take down a group of treasure hoarders. A young woman infatuated with a Iudex that won't look at her twice.#Or at least she doesn't believe he would. Shes wrong about that though. But I'll keep letting her believe that he doesnt think of her daily #Just a bit longer.#Uh. where was I going with this?#Don't remember. Have some disjointed Eclair lore that I'll have to clean up later -#oc tag: Eclair Dumont
