Off topic here but, How did Raquelle turn out to be such a sweet girl with a father like... THAT!? Dang...

Ooh, Raquelle time~

So, her impressively horrible father, once his power-base was established, effectively spoiled his daughter with (entirely feminine) luxuries from a young age–because what HE wanted was to raise a pretty looking trophy daughter to use as a bargaining chip.

(Her father does NOT drink respect women juice. At all. In fact, evidence would suggest that he was quite possibly a raging misogynist in addition to all his other crimes. And while I haven't set it in stone, let's just say that whoever Racquelle's mother was, she was almost assuredly out of the picture from a very young age.)

However, Rouan missed out on a very important aspect of his "pet daughter" project: providing her with, y'know, anything resembling love. So while he could blithely deliver most material things she wanted, he never managed to win her loyalty, only her passive (and frankly, a bit nervously given, because he was a frightening figure even when he was making a passing attempt at playing father) obedience.

Raquelle, meanwhile, yearned for real love and family. It's probable that her initial bond with the Fontaine siblings came from a place of shallow idealization of the storybook familial love (!) they had for each other! She didn't have it and she wanted to be a part of that. A part of a connection. Adeleine was in the perfect place to receive that connection, and her receptiveness emboldened Raquelle's belief in "love"–though Noir was a harder nut to crack, and it took her a while to learn to "read the room" with his attitude.

Her rich upbringing did leave her with a bit of a frivolous streak and her sweetness can be a bit tone deaf (it may be her own way of coping with life) but after losing Noir and Adeleine the first time to her father's machinations, she determined to grow up fast and learned that it was possible to still love people even from afar.

A small tidbit, but she dressed in mostly hyper femme skirts and dresses when they lived together and while she still adores pinks and pastels and girly things, switched over to pants and more utilitarian outfits later! Kind of a sign of emotional maturity on her part + an attempt to shed her naivete. (Speaking of little design quirks, Noir wore his bangs down all through the period they lived together.)

[Bonus] Summer Trio Trauma Responses!

Raquelle | Fawn Noir | Flight interestingly enough...! Adeleine | Fight (!!!!!)

hi baby love 💞💞

[uninspiringdyke]

💞💞💞💞💞2 + 13 + 17 + 26 💞💞💞💞💞

2. what you love most about being butch/femme

i'm very very used to having to be protective and on guard 24/7 and the ability to displace that - even for a little while - is incredibly therapeutic. i also love being able to just. dress really fucking weird. and be praised for it instead of given weird looks asked if i'm "sure"

13. who are your butch/femme heros?

leslie feinberg <33 obviously. xir also a working class hero and i love xem. idk if i have many more? which is unfortunate!! but so much of our history has dissolved, or if i know a little about them i still lack knowledge of their politics and other important factors

17. what can a femme/butch do to catch your attention?

i really love when butches are like...calm. because i'm batshit. just be encouraging of my craziness and give good hugs and i'll suck ur cock tbh

26. BONUS: Gush about your s/o if applicable OR if you don’t have one, write them a love letter as if you do so that they may see it in the future.

i can go on forever n ever so really all that i will say for now is that my very lovely butch came to the first in person meeting for the student senate and stayed the whole 3 and a half hours (despite not needing to!!) and was very cute and took pictures of me with my little plague. they're incredibly and wonderfully supportive of me and i can't thank them enough
