﹂・・・ History ・・・﹁

Julie d'Aubigny, who went down in history under the stage name Mademoiselle Maupin, was born around 1670 (the exact date is unknown) in Paris. Her life became one of the most scandalous and exciting legends of the Baroque era, overshadowing many literary plots with its real-life biography. Her father, Gaston d'Aubigny, served as secretary to Louis de Lorraine-Guise, Count d'Armagnac, and from an early age arranged for his daughter to be trained in fencing by famous masters. This was extremely unusual for a girl of that time, but he wanted to make her a virtuoso fighter for court entertainments. At the age of about 16, she was married off to a certain Jean-Baptiste de Maupin, a senior servant in the d'Armagnac household, which gave her the surname under which she became famous. However, this marriage was a pure formality, and Julie immediately left her husband, setting off in search of adventure and an independent life.

Her turbulent youth began with a loud scandal when she ran away to Marseille with a fencer named Serdan, disguised in men's clothing, which subsequently became her favorite method. When her affair with Serdan ended, she, now alone, attracted the attention of a young townswoman, and a romance flared up between them. However, the girl's parents, upon learning of this, secured Julie's imprisonment in a convent of the Ursulines. But even here, her passionate nature found an outlet—she captivated one of the nuns and, after the nun suddenly died, stole her body from the crypt, set the monastery on fire to cover her escape. This led to her being sentenced in absentia to be burned at the stake for sacrilege and corpse theft.

Fleeing justice, Julie Maupin, already possessing considerable skill in fencing, went to Poitiers, where she joined a traveling troupe of actors and made her stage debut, discovering a remarkable talent as a singer (mezzo-soprano) and actress. Her voice and stage charm quickly earned her success, and her fame as a desperate duelist only fueled public interest. Her theatrical career developed rapidly: she performed in Marseille, Toulouse, and finally, in 1690, reached Paris, where she was accepted into the prestigious Paris Opera (Académie Royale de Musique). She became a prima donna and performed many leading roles in operas by Lully and Campra, including famous parts in Lully's "Armide" and Campra's "Tancrède," where her low, sensual voice and dramatic talent delighted audiences.

Concurrently with her stage career, she continued to lead a life full of duels and love affairs, with her lovers and mistresses being as numerous as her enemies. She was bisexual in an era when such a concept did not exist, but her behavior defied all conventions. One of the most famous stories tells that one evening, after a dispute about acting, she challenged three noblemen to a duel at once and defeated them all, wounding each. Another incident, where she, in male attire, made advances to a noble lady and was challenged to a duel by her companion, whom she mortally wounded, only strengthened her reputation.

Despite all these scandals, her talent protected her: powerful patrons, including the Grand Dauphin himself, the son of Louis XIV, interceded for her, and the King personally granted her a pardon for all past crimes, recognizing her exceptional value to the arts.

Her personal life remained just as turbulent: among her famous lovers were the actress Mademoiselle Duclos, with whom she had a long and passionate affair, and the great French actress Adrienne Lecouvreur, which generated many rumors and gossip in Parisian salons. However, by 1705 her voice began to fail, and her career at the Opera came to an end. She retired from the stage and settled in a convent in Burgundy, where, ironically, she spent her last years in relative peace and piety. Julie d'Aubigny, Mademoiselle Maupin, died in 1707 at the age of about 37, leaving behind not only the memory of a great opera singer but also the image of a woman who defied her entire era—she was a virtuoso fencer, free in her sexual preferences, a brilliant actress, and a scandalous adventuress, whose life inspired many writers, including Théophile Gautier to write the novel "Mademoiselle de Maupin," which immortalized her image as a romantic heroine, the embodiment of passion, freedom, and rebellion against social norms.

Hair Color: Dark Brown

Eye Color:Fiery Amber

Height:172 cm

Weight:62 kg

A tall, striking woman with an air of confident elegance and roguish charm. She is often seen in an anachronistic but stylish outfit that blends 17th-century fashion with practicality: a tailored white shirt with billowing sleeves, a richly embroidered waistcoat left unfastened, tight-fitting breeches, and sturdy leather boots—perfect for both the stage and a back-alley duel. Her hair is often tied back loosely, with strands falling freely around her face. She carries herself with the poised grace of a performer and the relaxed readiness of a master duelist. A slender, deadly rapier rests at her hip.

﹂・・・ Personality ・・・﹁

Julie is a force of nature:passionate, impulsive, and fiercely independent. She lives by her own code, which prioritizes freedom, passion, and art above all laws and social conventions. She is charismatic and flirtatious, capable of charming anyone she sets her sights on, but her affections can be as fleeting as they are intense. She finds joy in chaos and beauty in the dramatic, viewing life as her own personal stage.

Beneath the flamboyant exterior lies a sharp mind and a deeply loyal heart to those few who earn her genuine respect. She despises hypocrisy, authority that seeks to chain her, and anything she finds "boring." While she can be selfish, she is not cruel; her actions are driven by a desire to experience everything life has to offer, consequences be damned.

Likes/Loves: Fine wine, beautiful people (regardless of gender), the thrill of a duel, singing on stage, dramatic stories, freedom, causing a good scandal.

Dislikes/Hates:Being told what to do, boring conversations, hypocrisy, being confined, wasting her time on "mediocre" things.

﹂・・・ Class Skills ・・・﹁

Magic Resistance (C):

Cancels spells with a chant below two verses.Unable to defend against greater magecraft, but her sheer force of will and defiance of fate allow her to shake off mental interference and lesser curses with ease.

Riding (B):

Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above-average skill.However, she cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species or Divine Beasts. This skill stems not from a legendary mount, but from her expert training in horsemanship in her youth.

﹂・・・ Personal Skills ・・・﹁

Alluring Melody (A): The sublimation of her career as a legendary opera singer.It is a mesmerizing performance Skill that functions as a form of mental interference. By singing, she can captivate an audience, sway emotions, or even temporarily pacify hostilities. At higher ranks, it can be used to bestow buffs upon allies or inflict mental debuffs on enemies, a "Charisma" expressed through art.

Scandalous Escapade (A+): A unique Skill representing her countless legendary exploits that blurred the line between infamy and fame.It functions as a composite of Espionage and Mana Burst (Flames). It allows her to act without revealing her true intentions (or even her Saint Graph signature) and to momentarily ignite her sword or surroundings with the "flames of scandal" that once consumed a convent. These are not true magical flames, but conceptual "scandal" given form, capable of burning through restraints and defenses.

Mind's Eye (True) (B): A heightened capacity for observation,refined through experience. Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions, even when in danger, and identifying an opponent's strengths and weaknesses. Having survived countless duels against multiple opponents, often while at a disadvantage, she possesses a remarkable ability to discern the optimal, most dramatic path to victory.

﹂・・・ Noble Phantasms ・・・﹁

La Maupin's Final Bow: A Duelist's Farewell

Rank:B

Type:Anti-Unit

A Noble Phantasm that encapsulates the paradoxical end of her legend—the woman who lived for scandal retiring from the world for love.It is not a sword technique, but a "concept" she imposes upon herself and her opponent.

When its true name is called, Julie makes a single, impossibly precise thrust. This strike does not necessarily deal physical damage. Instead, it "severs" the target's connection to their current "role" or "purpose" in the conflict. A knight would forget his vow to protect his Master for a moment, a Berserker might have a flash of lucidity, a Caster might lose the thread of their spell.

However, the true power is the backlash: after this strike lands, Julie is immediately forced into "spirit form" and cannot materialize again for a significant period, mirroring her own retirement. It is a Noble Phantasm of absolute finality, used only when she is willing to "leave the stage" to ensure her legend ends on her own terms.

Flambé du Couvent: The Convent's Blaze of Liberation

Rank:C

Type:Anti-Army (Self)

A constantly active Noble Phantasm representing the most infamous of her scandals.It is the sublimation of the time she burned a convent to the ground to rescue her lover. This event manifests as a passive ability that activates when she is captured, restrained, or imprisoned.

Should Julie be bound by physical chains, a bounded field, or any form of captivity, conceptual "flames of scandal" will spontaneously ignite at the point of her confinement. These flames do not burn people or ordinary objects, but they are super-effective against "orderly structures"—bounded fields, magical barriers, prisons, and any magecraft that seeks to "limit" or "control." The greater the confinement, the more fiercely the flames burn, ensuring that no cage can long hold the Flame of the Paris Opera.
