The Anatole Siblings (a semi-brief overview)
Making their home in Fleur City, these three young aristocrats are the great-grandchildren of the elderly Mme. Anatole. Their mother came to live with her grandmother prior to the children being born, and so the three have only ever lived with their great-grandmother, mother, and eventually their stepfather when their mother remarried. Mme. Anatole was the last mage of her line for many years and became overjoyed when her great-grandchildren developed magic. She spares no expense to ensure the three of them will grow up to become capable mages, gentlemen and lady.
Marianne Daphnée Anatole
Nickname: Mari
Oldest (by 16 months) but won't correct the misconception that she and her brothers are triplets (because that can come in handy)
Constantly chastising her brothers
Very spoiled (but not spoiled rotten, there's a difference, thank you very much)
Somewhat haughty demeanor but she's quite sweet underneath
Attends a private all-girls' academy that focuses on raising its students both as elegant ladies and capable young mages
Much as she does prioritize becoming a proper lady, she also can be quite rough-and-tumble, a fact her stepfather is proud of and encourages
Loves horseback riding and can do riding for shows, she'll sit sidesaddle and everything, but she's also training in stunt riding and practicing utilizing her magic while riding
Undecided on what she wants to do with her life
Polyamorous and determined to grow up and have many great loves whom she can lavish with all the affection she has to offer
Toussaint Éloi Anatole
Nickname: Tea
Second-oldest, and twin to Bertrand
Attends Royal Sword Academy
He and his brother convinced their great-grandmother to let them enroll at RSA rather than Noble Bell College
Boisterous, slightly arrogant but very straightforward, generous, good-natured and extroverted
Paints in his free time. He's not exactly skilled as an artist but he knows this and still chooses to express himself through it
Has a deep regard and respect for any artist of any kind, no matter what their art or craft or trade is. The sort of noble who would be a great patron or benefactor, and he does hope to one day be an official patron to many great artists, so that he can lift up and support the people who can do amazing things he can only dream of.
He boxes, and a lot of his stocky build is indicative of his muscle.
Slightly naive but honest view that everyone around deserves kindness, support and more than just the basic necessities, they deserve to live comfortably. The most likely to debate with his peers about this.
Deeply concerned with fairness and sportsmanship
Asexual but is open to the idea of a romance
If he were attending Night Raven College, he would be sorted into Heartslabyul
Bertrand Ernest Anatole
Nickname: Rand
Youngest but somehow has Oldest Sibling vibes AND Middle Child Syndrome, twin to Toussaint
Attends Royal Sword Academy
Acts like he can't stand his brother and sister but will absolutely make anyone who hurts them regret doing so
Introverted and is not quick to offer his thoughts, and he can be quite snappy when he does.
Unlike his brother, he's a skilled musician on the piano and while he appreciates natural talent in others, he holds a much deeper regard for anyone who hones their skills through hard work and constant, patient effort.
He values cleverness, wisdom, and keeping a realistic view of the world.
Semi-closeted bisexual with a heavy preference towards guys (he's known this about himself since he was young)
While he shares his brother's thoughts of everyone deserving kindness, support and the chance to live comfortably, he's focused less on espousing the ideal in discussion and trying to actually put change into action, and he's not keen to be in the spotlight while doing so (though he does light up when others express appreciation for what he does.)
Skilled fencer
If he were attending Night Raven College, he would be sorted into Scarabia
