Appearance

Jaqueline looks like a predator. No matter how she tries to hide her nature, there is something unsettling about her. That being said she is of average height, holds herself well, and she has the look of a woman too quickly grown up. Jacqueline screams Ventrue, it's there in her purple clothing, the purple makeup, and the elegance with which she holds herself. Right down to the purple flower in her hair. But there is something else behind it. Her hair is pretty, but never without flaw, the makeup on closer inspection isn't right, the eyes seemingly hungering for your blood while showing little other emotion. The way she smiles puts people on edge, and her ruthlessness can be seen as cold and offputting, and effect that is only exacerbated by the coldness of her touch. Perhaps it is something to do with the way she stands protectively to the side and slightly behind Elsa, perhaps it's to do with the way she whispers in Elsa's ear when things go badly and Elsa begins to smile. Whatever it is, something leaves people on edge around her.

Personality

Jacqueline is reserved, polite, yet friendly. Jaquelines moves with the grace of a woman well bred and well raised. She rarely raises her voice, and maintains her cool in most situations. She is quick to join a fight if she percieves danger to herself or those around, and is quick to defend her martial skills as 'training from Gladius'. There is definitely the appearance of internal conflict on her face at times, and this is perhaps why she prefers to defer to Elsa when making decisions on certain topics.

Personal Information - Before Embrace

(Not known I.C.)
Jacqueline was born the fourth child of the marriage between Etienne Luc d'Angoulême and Aldalheidis Ophelia Marguerite d'Rossel d'Angoulême. When Jacqueline was only six months old, her mother is gravely injured in a fall from a horse. Unfortunately she succumbed to her injuries, and Jacqueline was left without a mother.
She grew up well off and happy, even if she at times missed not having a mother, and she raised to be a strong, yet well mannered young woman. Her inquisitive mind and a good imagination, accompanied by a fondness for the stories she was read led her on many adventures. At age 15 Jacqueline was married to Charles Mayeaux. He was loving, caring, and encouraged her in all her pursuits. Over the next two years she produces four children, three girls and a boy.
At the age of 17 she encounters a vampire feeding one night while out with her children, and she begins to study the paranormal. Through the next year she sees more sightings of the vampire and writes a paper on him.
When she was 18 Jacqueline moved with her husband to Lichenstein for business. While there they decide to visit the castle where her grandmother grew up in before her death. While in Lichenstein and with his blessing, she publishes her paper Creatures of the Night under her husbands name, and it gets some attention. A few months later she meets her grandmother, who is seeking her husband in regards to the article he wrote. Jacqueline is shocked to learn her grandmother is alive and in her shock confesses it was her who wrote the article, not her husband. Elsa, discovering that Jacqueline is her living granddaughter, tells her everything she wants to know. Jacqueline asks to be able to accompany her around and to be brought into the world of vampires. Elsa explains that this cannot be and tries to dominate her to forget. However, something goes wrong and she finds she cannot successfully make her granddaughter forget everything. Instead, she takes Jacqueline with her, ghouls her, and makes her family believe their wife and mother is dead.
For over a hundred years Jacqueline is not allowed to leave Elsas side. She is always there, and is taught about staking and is given her own 'Elsa Staking Stake' by Elsa's childe Gladius. She is trains with him, and she learns about the Ventrue from Elsa, preparing her for the night she will be ready for the Embrace. Finally, one of their first nights in Russia, 160 years after she is first ghouled, Jacqueline is allowed out on her own for a short errand. She goes to carry out the errand but is ambushed on the way to the building by a man. They argue and in a fit of rage he embraces her. She doesn't realise what's happened until she wakes up and he tells her what he did. When he turns his back she pulls out her stake and thrusts it into his heart, then cuts his head off in her own anger at what he did to her. She is later found by Elsa when she doesn't return for the day, and upon finding her, Elsa expresses her disgust and explains that she needs to clean up the mess, that she has 10 minutes to do so and then they will never speak of this again.
