Description:

Ysabeau is a petite, pretty girl with a merry disposition. Although she can be quite flirtatious and loves attention, she also knows when to buckle down and study. When she smiles, which is often, she has dimples in her cheeks. She has hazel eyes fringed with thick black lashes. Her hair is fine, soft, black and curly. She usually wears it piled up on top of her head, held by pins. She carries a few extra pounds which really just accentuate her womanliness all the more (think of the 19th C ideal of feminine beauty).

Ysabeau is currently a student. She is studying music, history and classics, and is a card-carrying member of the Antiquarian Society. At school, she dresses in sensible gowns suitable for a student. She has been at the Castalia for less than a year; at 17 she has a lot of catching up to do before she will feel on par with her classmates, some of whom have already attended the school for years. To this end, she often studies in the library where she met and befriended Ilphère deQuessenet. Sanadhìl Órecalo also tutors her in Cozovodë and Middle Aveyronnais. She is a rather cosmopolitan girl, and, though popular, is not snobbish.

Aside from her studies, she plays harp and is a vocalist. She and the other three members of her quartet, The Vallon Consort, are becoming musicians of some reknown. They've played at Antiquarian Society parties and for some noble parties as well. They specialize in Ancient Music, but are also well-versed in the popular music of the day, including dance music. When performing, Ysabeau dresses up for the occasion, choosing gowns carefully to add to her stage presence.

She was once an employee of Altheo Renaud but this is not generally known except by former clients, colleagues and Altheo himself.

She looks a little like this (not my drawing). I'll try to draw her myself sometime. Today it didn't work out so well (soooooo out of practice).
