Estelle de Laussienne

B A S I C S

Name Estelle de Laussienne (born Fauconnier)

Nicknames None in regular use; her adoptive brother uses "Essie" to get under her skin.

Age 24 (ARR) - 30 (Dawntrail)

Nameday 17th Sun of the 5th Astral Moon

Race Half Sea Wolf Roegadyn / Half Midlander Hyur

Gender Cis female

Orientation Bisexual

Profession Chirurgeon. She's a woman of many roles and skills, but only one professional license, though in another life -- say, in a non-WOL AU -- she might have wound up the Scions' "diplomatic advisor" (crisis manager and fixer).

P H Y S I C A L A S P E C T S

Hair Black; as of the end of Shadowbringers, salt-and-pepper with a shock of white in her bangs. Coarse curls are courtesy of her roegadyn heritage. She has never cut her hair ("long hair is a woman's glory" and all -- have you seen Halone's? You cannot convince me there's nothing in Halonic scripture about it) and mostly wears it pinned in complex updos.

Eyes A dark violet, inherited from her father.

Skin A light, rainy-day grey inherited largely from her mother, with her father's cool pink undertones.

Tattoos/scars Being a healer -- and a terrible patient -- Estelle has few scars of her own, as she takes care of her own injuries and prides herself in the sort of detailwork in her physicking that reduces or prevents scarring. Which means the ones she does have are from the wounds she was too incapacitated to heal herself, gnarly clusters of keloids and ragged hypertrophic slashes from effective but graceless emergency healing: sternum to hip from the fight with Elidibus at Ghimlyt; side to side across her belly from the fight with Zenos at the end of creation; and her oldest, a mottled burn scar around her left shoulder and collarbone from the dragon attack that took her parents. She keeps them glamoured when able and looks at them as little as possible.

F A M I L Y

Parents

Hermine Fauconnier Her roegadyn mother; the seneschal and right hand woman of House Laussienne, Hermine was in charge of its books, employees, and trade logistics, and her service in return won her family as stable, secure, and comfortable a lifestyle as a lowborn could wish for outside of the Church. Deceased.

Renaut Fauconnier Her hyuran father; a chirurgeon formerly of the Hospitaliers who transitioned into rural medicine as a traveling physician once he tired of the battlefield. Deceased.

Perette de Laussienne Her adoptive elezen mother; the head of House Laussienne and a shark in the waters of Ishgard's nobility who raised Estelle like she was her own daughter. For better or worse, Perette taught her much of what she knows. Deceased.

Siblings

Verain de Laussienne Estelle's adoptive brother. While they had a good relationship in their youth, a wedge formed not long into their teenage years when it became clear his mother's favor rested with a lowborn halfbreed. Still alive and currently head of House Laussienne, having been unceremoniously handed the reins when Estelle suddenly left Ishgard -- a fact that has done nothing to repair the rift between them.

Grandparents

None still living.

In-laws and Other

Over time, Estelle develops no shortage of family-like relations: Edmont, who regards her as a daughter; Alphinaud and Alisaie and Ryne, the little siblings she never had; the Scions, living together like a colony of stray cats. (And, though this is quite far in the future and something she would not want to think too much about even then, Lyna would technically be her daughter-in-law. The absolute dawning horror the first time Lyna calls her "grandmother" as a jest.)

Pets

Animals tend to like Estelle more than Estelle likes the concept of caring for an animal long-term, especially with how much she travels. The absolute closest she comes to owning a pet is spoiling the Rising Stones' resident ratcatchers.

S K I L L S

Abilities

Arcanima The cornerstone of her combat abilities and field "healing" (more like Preventative Medicine), which branches out into Allagan summoning as she spends the years between Heavensward and Dawntrail refining equations based on primal waveforms.

Medicine This includes everything in the typical Eorzean chirurgeon's skillset -- everything from general practice to surgery to autopsy is on the table (hah) -- as well as an alchemical background to synthesize and administer basic pharmacological treatments.

"Politics" The catch-all umbrella for her social skillset, Estelle relishes the networking, information gathering, and strategic maneuvering required to throw one's weight around in powerful circles.

Hobbies

Languages Though the Echo translates for her, it's still a rare and special skill regarded with suspicion in most corners of the world. Estelle enjoys picking up what she can of the local language in her travels to put people more at ease, especially as she wanders out to more rural locations.

Sketching/watercolors A skill picked up in a previous relationship, though her fondness for it far outlived her fondness for her lover. She finds it relaxing to draw and paint the sights in her travels, and she keeps extensive journals.

Cooking A domestic skill cultivated to a high level in the interest of being a "good wife" in her youth, turned into something of an obsession for learning new foods and techniques as she travels the world. Estelle delights in any occasion she has access to a stove and the opportunity to set a lively table.

Piano All young ladies of good breeding learn the arts during their education, and Estelle is no exception, though the piano is the only instrument that stuck. She enjoys playing when she finds the time, and a piano to actually play on.

"New skills" Estelle takes any opportunity to throw herself into doing something badly for the simple joy of trying something new. Most attempts to train for more physical skills like archery and swordplay fall under this category: things she'll likely never take seriously, but she enjoys using these moments to build new connections and relationships with her teachers.

T R A I T S

Most Positive Trait: Her friendliness. Estelle finds it natural to move into the lives of others and share their spaces, joys, grief, and problems; if she doesn't find success, it certainly isn't for a cold demeanor and lack of goodwill.

Most Negative Trait: Oh we've got a whole answer for this one. There is only so much friendliness can accomplish when Estelle does not accept the vulnerability of real connection.

L I K E S

Colors: Contrary to her severely black and mostly monochrome wardrobe, Estelle most enjoys dramatic, rich jewel tones and soft pastels.

Smells: The complex layers of an expensive, well-made perfume; fresh-cut jonquils; the chaos of food stalls in an open-air market; aspen woods in a crisp, fresh snow

Textures: Soft furs; the inner lining of a favorite pair of gloves; the smooth gloss of lacquered wood; the weighted feedback of ivory piano keys.

Drinks: A glass of well-aged dry red wine; coffee in the Ul'dahn style, unfiltered and highly sweetened, flavored with cardamom; Ishgardian tea, strong black leaves dressed with bergamot, steeped directly in hot milk and sweetened with buckwheat honey.

O T H E R D E T A I L S

Smokes: Yes, infrequently, and never socially; in times of high stress, she will smoke exactly one (1) cigarette when alone and thinking very deeply on something she wish she did not have to think deeply about, or when she needs to aggressively work over a problem in her mind. She's picky about her tobacco and prefers a Hannish clove-spiced blend. (Her case holds 20 cigarettes and the only time she's had to refill it because she's simply run out is during Endwalker.)

Drinks: Yes! All the time. I imagine Ishgard has a very robust drinking culture woven into most social rituals (alcohol features more prominently in Heavensward than nearly any other expansion except perhaps Endwalker) and Estelle is a very social creature. Of course there's an aperitif! And of course there is a glass or two of wine with dinner. And of course there must be a digestif. And of course there will be a nightcap as the evening winds down. She likely consumes more alcohol in a year than the rest of the Scions combined, and that includes that era where Thancred was getting trashed regularly to avoid coping with the Lahabrea situation. That said, she very rarely drinks alone, and almost never drinks with the intention to get inebriated.

Drugs: Nothing hard, but if someone hands her a bhang thandai during a festival in Radz-at-Han she's not going to turn it down.

Mount Issuance: For the same reasons Estelle doesn't keep a pet, she also doesn't keep a mount; she prefers to take carriages and ferries and airships, ride along with caravans, or rent chocobos. When she needs a pair of wings or to go somewhere she would feel guilty bringing a live animal, she relies on the sliver of his aether that Midgardsormr left with her to summon his form much the same way she might summon an egi.

Been Arrested: Estelle has spent most of her life being a law-abiding citizen. The amount of laws she's broken in the line of duty has spiked rather dramatically since joining the Scions, of course, as it turns out that subversive operations and overthrowing heads of state is illegal in those states, but good luck arresting her.

wardrobe notes

tiphaine

muted & dull colors. favors greens and greys.

high collared blouses with bow style neck ties.

long skirts or high waisted pants with blouses tucked into.

victorian gothic energy.

should give “ghost of a widowed victorian woman” vibes.

misri

gold, white, pink, browns.

inspiration from khmer dancers, thai, and south indian fashions. she probably has a lot of couture style fashion in there too, based off what ionian nobles look like. 

flashy golden jewelry. heavy bracelets. large earrings.

consistent make up presentation: gold at the corner of the eyes and a single gold stripe on her top and bottom lip

almost always wears shawls because she’s somehow always cold

sarin

deep reds. wears a lot of patterns.

his main coat is based off tibetan chubas but his clothing style is mostly based on traditional clothes from vietnam, thailand, china, and korea.

prefers sleeveless shirts with high collars and jackets/coats with longer sleeves to compensate. uses his coat to hoard things.

outside of patterns, his clothes aren’t intended to stand out in the way of higher class ionians. it’s all very practical clothing.

ragni

general colors are dark blues and greys.

wears a lot of furs and heavy coats. his silhouette makes him seem a lot bigger than he actually is. wears minimal armor, usually just a chain mail shirt.

has blue tattoos along his arms and neck, similar to many freljord warriors.

usually doesn’t wear cloaks, mantles, or capes. despite this, he adds a lot of bulk around his shoulders with the use of furs.

eydis

medium blues, greys, whites.

wears slimmer fit clothing than ragni, since she doesn’t feel the cold and so has little need for the heavier outfits. 

frequently wears cloaks and hoods. more flowing movement compared to the heftier movement of ragni.

less fur, more feathers.

verain

white, gold, blue, occasional dark browns.

fancy and expensive clothing. always looks far too well kept for a man in bilgewater.

button ups and vests are a staple.

honestly not much to say on his clothing.

[lawfulbullets]

" goodness, o f f i c e r. didn't you know being so beautiful is illegal? " from verain too

“You are absolutely correct. However, I have a deal running with the Wardens.

You, however, are under arrest now. You have the right to remain silent.”

Qui a de la sauge dans son jardin, n'a pas besoin de médecin

New Post has been published on http://myzap.info/blog/2017/06/02/qui-a-de-la-sauge-dans-son-jardin-na-pas-besoin-de-medecin

Qui a de la sauge dans son jardin, n'a pas besoin de médecin

Les bienfaits de la sauge officinale

Depuis l’Antiquité cette plante indispensable au jardin, n’a cessé de prouver son efficacité. Le célèbre dicton « qui a de la sauge dans son jardin, n’a pas besoin de médecin » résume à lui seul ses nombreux bienfaits. Avec les connaissances actuelles du microbiote intestinal tout s’explique.

    Le nom latin de la sauge officinale évoque ses propriétés médicinales puisque « salvare » signifie sauver, guérir. Déjà les Égyptiens reconnaissaient ses vertus, les Romains entouraient sa récoltes de rituels et elle était couramment utilisées dans de nombreuses potions au cours du Moyen Âge. De nos jours, elle reste une plante primordiale de la pharmacopée, et entre dans de nombreuses préparations de phytothérapie.

Un puissant antiseptique

Astringente, la sauge permet de soigner rapidement les piqûres et morsures ; il suffit de frotter quelques feuilles fraîches sur la plaie, pour calmer douleurs et démangeaisons.Antiseptique et astringente, la sauge viendra à bout de la plupart des maux de gorges. On l’utilisera sous forme d’infusion et de gargarismes. De même pour le traitement des aphtes. Anti-microbienne son huile essentielle réduit les secrétions bronchiques. Elle est aussi utilisée depuis toujours dans le traitement de l’asthme ; ses feuilles séchées seront alors fumées.

Des propriétés digestives:

La sauge ouvre l’appétit, elle régularise la digestion. Une infusion de sauge permettra de faire passer un repas trop copieux. Son effet antispasmodique atténue les crampes d’estomac et les maux de ventre. Elle soulage aussi les ballonnements et réduit les gaz intestinaux.

Un tonique nerveux :

Les infusion de sauge seraient capables de calmer les crises survenant au cours de la maladie d’Alzheimer. Des chercheurs iraniens ont utilisé avec succès des extraits de sauge officinale chez des patients atteints de la maladie d’Alzheimer (à un stade moyen) : 4 mois de traitement, amélioration légère des fonctions cognitives et atténuation de l’agitation, pas d’action sur l’évolution de la maladie. Cette plante aurait en outre des propriétés tranquillisantes. La sauge serait également bénéfique chez des sujets sains en prévention, car elle améliorerait les performances cognitives.

Régulateur hormonal:

La sauge est un remède ancestral bien connue des femmes pour réguler le cycle menstruel et éviter le phénomène de syndrome pré-menstruel.

Elle est aussi très utile pour minimiser les troubles de la ménopause. Bien que son action hormonale ne soit pas encore clairement élucidée, la sauge permet de réguler la transpiration et les bouffées de chaleur, elle aide l’organisme à s’adapter aux changements hormonaux durant cette délicate période.

En prévention et pour soigner l’herpès labial :

L’Etude d’une crème pour soigner l’herpès labial : mélange d’extrait hydroalcoolique de rhubarbe (23 mg/g de crème) et d’extrait aqueux de sauge (23 mg/g de crème) par comparaison à un antiviral classique (aciclovir= « zovirax ») en crème labiale (50 mg/g de crème) démontre les résultats suivants : Temps moyen de guérison : 7,6 jours pour sauge seule, 6,7 jours pour le mélange sauge-rhubarbe et 6,5 jours pour le zovirax.

  Autres propriétés :

  -La sauge est sou­veraine en cas de cram­pes, de mal­adies de la moelle épinière, de mal­adies des glan­des . Pour soigner ces mal­adies, on boit deux tasses répar­ties par gorgées, pen­dant la journée.

-La tisane a égale­ment une excel­lente action sur le foie malade, sup­prime les bal­lon­nements et les autres trou­bles liés aux mal­adies hépatiques.

-Elle a une action dépu­ra­tive, aide à dégager les mucosités des voies res­pi­ra­toires et de l’estomac, remédie au manque d’appétit et soigne les trou­bles intestin­aux et les diarrhées.

-Pour soigner les piqûres d’insectes, on fait des com­presses de feuilles de sauge broyées.

-En usage externe, la tisane de sauge est par­ti­c­ulière­ment recom­mandée en cas d’angines, de maux de gorge, de for­ma­tion de pus dans les dents, de pharyn­gite et d’inflammation de la cav­ité buccale.

-Beau­coup d’enfants et d’adultes auraient évité une opéra­tion des amyg­dales s’ils avaient util­isé à temps de la sauge. Lorsque les amyg­dales ont été enlevées, elles qui en tant que police du corps, arrê­tent et trans­for­ment les sub­stances tox­iques, ces dernières parvi­en­nent directe­ment aux reins.

-Une infu­sion de sauge est égale­ment utile en cas de dents bran­lantes et saig­nantes, de déchausse­ment des dents et de tumeurs gin­gi­vales. On fait alors des gar­garismes où l’on place des tam­pons d’ouate imbibée de tisane sur les par­ties malades

in light of the new short i just want to say

verain is very smart and very clever, more than enough to survive the cutthroat nature of bilgewater and have a trade emporium of his own making.

but unfortunately for verain and anyone i write with, i am not clever and so he will always be a dumbass.

MUSE’S HANDWRITING which font resembles your muse’s handwriting the closest?

MISRI      small, slanted, neat, and careful. delicately curved letters. SARIN      straight and mid-weight. confident. even lettering. RAGNI      bold and messy. written quickly and carelessly. EYDIS      quick, not necessarily neat or well formed. close together. VERAIN      elegant and slanting. excellent and precise letters until he’s in a rush. TIPHAINE      slightly slanted. mostly prints. rushed letters and overall messy. easy to read.

[solliium]

from @defensator

"i'd suggest getting a map. the city is big, it's easy to get yourself lost," jayce tilts his head a little, arms crossed as he watches the traveler. "i can give you a quick tour, but quick doesn't encompass all of piltover---let alone zaun, if you're brave enough to venture down there."

            verain laughs, the noise unabashed in whatever it is he finds funny. " a map is for someone who needs to know where they're going, " he states, very matter of fact.  his own arms fold, posing himself in the same manner as the man.

    " you know - " he pauses.  verain clicks his tongue and tilts his head one way then the other, brows creasing over his eyes before the wide smile returns.  " you're familiar.  i've seen your face before.  help me put a name to it, won't you? “

[solliium]

jayce is not a personable fellow by any stretch of imagination but ever since he's assumed his role as the city's poster boy, he's tried to act the part. so when he sees what seems to be a lost foreigner and his mood is just about right, he tries to offer an unobtrusive amount of help. "new to piltover?" he begins, tone casual. "if you need directions, i can help."

     bright eyes snap to the direction of the voice as verain’s mouth twitches into a smile. “ oh, that would be most delightful! ” he says, clasping his hands together before he offers one out. there is an accent to his words, but he speaks in a way that seems to try and hide it.

     “ i’m verain. i’m not quite sure where i am going besides going somewhere. perhaps you might tell me where somewhere is? ”

❝   tea orange -  what is something that your muse is fascinated with?   ❞

— ✱「 @defyances​ 」

     verain is the easiest to answer this with: he's completely in love with ancient history and arcane relics and any sort of trinket that has any sort of magical quality to it. he's a collector and seller of these things. most of his merchandise tends to be slightly-above-useless objects that have some obscure enchantment. in his own home, he has any number of odds and ends on display. honestly, he's that bitch who comes into a culture, takes all the spices, and doesn't even use them. they just sit there and look pretty.

     but like he really does just love old things with stories (especially curses) behind them. i imagine such items are commonly banned or strictly managed in demacia and so his access to them had always been very limited. his early collections were books, usually too old or worn to be of use to anyone. even now, he has a library filled with ancient texts from all over runeterra.

     verain himself, for as much as he loves magical things, doesn't have much of an interest in using magic himself. he likes figuring out how it works but his actual talent for casting spells and the like is... non-existent.

     his other less intense fascinations, include star charting, machinery, and hextech.

[solliium]

despite being from demacia, verain hates his home. he finds it old fashioned and close minded, with everything being more or less the same. there is no encouragement for uniqueness - at least, not to him. to verain, being there is like slowly suffocating.

he’s struggled with feeling out of place and never knowing who he is as a person - only what he is to everyone else and what he is expected to be. the things he was interested in were either forbidden or heavily restricted.

leaving demacia was the first time he was able to think about what he wanted and without care for how it could impact others. verain is a selfish human being who’s interests are very self absorbed and i think demacia’s values go against that?

in general, verain and demacia’s values are constantly at odds.
