Colette Ronfaure

The Paragon

About

Name: Colette Ronfaure
Age: late twenties
Birthplace: The Pillars, Ishgard
Occupation: Paladin
Pronouns: she/her
Description: Daughter of Excenmille Ronfaure, a proud Hyuran knight, and Curilla Ronfaure, a respected Elezen noblewoman, Colette's appearance stands as a visible crossroads of the two.Despite their high profile, the Ronfaure family is one steeped in the philosophy of doing right by others and selfless sacrifice in the name of the greater good. Their eldest child continues to embody such tradition. Colette possesses an unshakable belief that strength exists to uplift others. Carrying equal parts valor and compassion, she strives to serve others and protect the realm in the name of virtue, justice and unshakeable hope.Like many born to privileged families in her homeland, Colette is upright and dignified. And yet, she possesses an uncharacteristic warmth that is decisively uncommon for the upper echelons of Ishgardian society. This is accompanied by a playful spirit, which has enabled her to keep a head held high in a land that looks down upon those of mixed birth -- even as change comes to the Holy See.


Affinity

The following is a list of some character concepts or ideas that Colette may respond positively, neutrally or negatively to. These purely represent her in-character preferences. Therefore, even negative hooks may potentially provide for excellent roleplay.As an additional note, all roleplay is context dependent. These are all general ideas and will not describe how every individual roleplay encounter will go.

Positive

  • Knights: Colette may find affinity with those who follow a similar oath.

  • The Virtuous: Colette respects those who actively work toward making the realm a safer, more just land.

  • Other Ishgardians: While Colette does not bear a bias toward her own people, she nonetheless carries an inherent familiarity towards them. This will make it easier to form bonds.

Neutral

  • People of Arms: Colette carries a fascination for weapons and armory. Nevertheless, she believes foremost in good intentions. While she will have inherent interest in those who carry weapons, she may be wary of how they choose to use it.

  • Highborn: Colette is born of an Ishgardian noble house. Loathe as she would be to admit it, politicking and fraternization with people who come from a similar background (regardless of their nation of origin) will be more familiar for her. However, she has not remained blind to the cruelty that the highborn within Ishgard have inflicted for many years.

Negative

  • Criminals: Colette views herself as a peacekeeper. She will strongly urge those who actively break the law to reconsider their actions. Or, in more extreme cases, intervene herself.

  • Those who deal with the Void: Despite her congenial nature, Colette is still a paladin. Those wrapped in forbidden magics are viewed as an inherent evil. When presented with proof of such, she views it as necessary to take it upon herself.

  • The overly violent: Colette is not quick to violence and does not hold a high regard for those who are.

Friends

These are some of the characters Colette has formed a bond with thus far.

Lavande Beaufort: Another half-elezen woman, hailing from Ishgard. Colette has dubbed her as an unofficial squire. Lavande is the first person Colette has been able to consider a proper friend outside of her homeland.Mirha Lhafrhe: A Miqo'te mystic. Colette has found comfort with her up to this point. Nevertheless, her dealings with certain magics bear some matter of concern.Selena Varon: A Miqo'te woman following a similar path. She carries herself with a similar demeanor to Colette herself, which she has naturally found outright charming.


Family and Associates

These are all NPCs of some sort. Each of these characters are capable of making an appearance on screen if story necessitates it.

Claude: Hound and beloved sidekick. Claude travels wheresoever Colette goes, assisting her on the field as either a tracker or battle companion.Vaillance: A powerful chocobo, marked uniquely by its tall height and white plumage. Vaillance is trained to both carry riders over large distances and maneuver battle fields.Curilla Ronfaure: Elezen mother and old money aristocrat. A woman practiced in the art of the sword and diplomacy both. For a time, Curilla's birth marked her as the sole heir to her family.Excenmille Ronfaure: Hyuran father and respected Ishgardian knight. Despite this, however, he is notably not of noble birth. Upon marriage, Excenmille acquired his wife's surname. Their different races caused this marriage to be viewed as a matter of controversy which, to this day, has caused the family no shortage of criticism.Rahal Ronfaure: Younger brother. Colette's junior by seven years. Like his elder sister, Rahal is a knight who strives to do good in the name of others. However, he maintains vigil solely within the borders of Coerthas -- in sharp contrast to his ever wandering sibling.

A note from the creator,

Hello! I am Blaze Moon. Thank you for viewing Colette's carrd! I hope you enjoyed reading it!I am in my late 20s and have been roleplaying for a long ass time. I have a highly flexible schedule and can be available a lot of different times! If you would like to set something up, DM me in-game or on Discord (if provided)! :>


On Mods

As the picture(s) on this page [will later] indicate, Colette uses mods. I'm willing to sync with Lightless or Snowcloak (or whatever is presently current at the time of reading) as necessary, but these are 100% not required for the purpose of roleplay.Additionally, I have a lot of experience on this topic. This includes mod creation of all kinds. If you have a question related to fixing a mod of some sort on your own end, feel free to let me know!
