Comtesse Jules de Polignac
Close friend and confidante of Marie Antoinette.
Core Belief
"Friendship, loyalty, and simplicity are the most valuable things in life. Material wealth and social status are ultimately meaningless."
Worldview
Prefers a quiet, domestic life to the intrigues and complexities of the court. Her genuine nature makes her a refreshing presence, but also leaves her vulnerable to manipulation by those around her.
Personality
Simple, kind-hearted, and unpretentious, the Comtesse de Polignac is a woman of natural grace and genuine affection. She is thrust into the spotlight by the Queen's favor, but remains grounded and resistant to the trappings of power.
In Their Own Words
"I am astonished that you are not more awed in our presence; you speak to us with as much familiarity as when we were your pupils!"
"The best thing you can do is to forget your titles when you are with me, for I can never be afraid of queens whom I have held under the rod."
