Mental characteristics
Personal history
Yvette du Tournesol is a student of The Academy of Etoile, famous for an incident where she prevented the suicide of a younger student. The daughter of a barber, she was selected to the Academy on merit, and is a student of Power engineering as well as an amateur mountain climber.
During her first year's testing season, a younger girl at the Academy cracked under the pressure and climbed the Academy clock tower, sealing the wrought iron door behind her shut with an alchemic solution. Once spotted at the edge of the clock tower, a guard team was dispatched to try to convince her to not jump while the door was cut open, but by all accounts the removal of the door would have taken hours, and the girl was disinclined towards patience.
du Tournesol witnessed the event and, without prompting, climbed the exterior face of the clock tower, two hundred feet vertically in the air, using only her hands and feet and no safety equipment. Hundreds saw her climb through the tower window and yank the young girl away from the ledge; the first guardsman to climb the tower reported that du Tournesol had kept the girl physically restrained until rescue could arrive.
Such a feat was feted in the journals, and du Tournesol received a flood of both offers of patronage and marriage, for her rescue.
Education
Yvette du Tournesol is studying Power engineering and distribution at the Academy, and is in her second year.
Employment
Unknown to anyone, including her parents, du Tournesol is a working girl of a brothel at the Scarlet Block. Although she was selected to study at the Academy on merit, her family was unable to pay for her tuition. Reasoning that this was the easiest way to solve the problem, she lied to her parents about receiving a scholarship, and began to work in a brothel, using the receipts from auctioning her virginity to fund her first year of tuition at the Academy.
Though she now has a patron and is in no dire need of money to pay for her studies, du Tournesol has found that she enjoys the work at the brothel and the companionship of the other girls, as well as the thrill of living a double life, and she continues in her secondary profession on the weekends. Although she is instantly recognizable to anyone who reads the journals, her clients do not see her face prior to booking her, and she swears them to secrecy afterward.
