Biography: (300 words minimum.)
Nicole Renée Ouellet was a child of privilege.

Born into a wealthy pureblood family in Bordeaux, France, she had all she ever wanted. Her family’s money bought only the best clothes, most expensive parties, and anything else she had wanted as a child. She could have wanted to see her parents more often, but they spent enough on her that she never had time to pay attention to the fact that they were never around. Nicole’s childhood was filled with private tutors, parties, and more events than normal kids would see in a lifetime.

If that weren’t enough, there were also numerous house elves and other servants to wait on her hand and foot, ready to do whatever the young Ouellet demanded of them.

Even when the young girl was of age to attend Beauxbatons, THE premiere wizarding school, she was shown special privilege. Instead of attending the school, the girl’s parents took a break from work (or were rather, released from their positions, but they did not tell her that at the time) and privately tutored her in the ways of magic. There was nothing that could go wrong for the Ouellet girl.

Until her parents picked up another position, and decided their daughter was to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, instead of Beauxbatons. She tried to fight the decision, but they were going to be working in Scotland, and wanted her to be closer to them. It was the worse day of the teenager’s life.

Life at Hogwarts hadn’t been all that bad. It was not the school she wanted to attend, but she had no choice but to try and make some life from it. Nicole made friends, enemies, and even caught the fancy of a cute American boy. She earned her way up to the rank of prefect, and used that title to push her demands on those younger and beneath her. Nicci went through many changes during her time at Hogwarts, but in the end of it all, she was no different than when she started. Her parents, who tried to make amends for their transgressions, were eventually tempted back into their old patterns by money and power. Their daughter followed right behind.

Working for the Redgrave administration, Nicole’s parents rallied for pureblood rights and the separation of muggleborns from the rest of the students at Hogwarts. While in her final year of schooling, Nicole did what she could to also help the cause, knowing that her participation would bring her rewards, and influence.

After Minister Redgrave was assassinated, Nicole’s parents returned to France, to work once more with their Ministry there. Nicole however, stayed behind at the British Ministry of Magic, helping to keep the muggles ignorant to their magical world. 
While she worked at the Ministry, she also was privately studying with some of the best Diviners she could find. Nicole had picked up an interest in Divination during her time at Hogwarts, and was always trying to increase her abilities.

When the Order was established, Nicole found it’s agenda to be much to her liking, and quickly sided with their ideals and desires. She saw it merely as another way to step up in the world, and had no idea that it could have been more than just her desires drawing her towards the new political party and the new faces around the Ministry. Her family actually had more ties to the Order than she, or even her parents, knew.

When Nicole was very young, not even a toddler, her father’s brother died in a very tragic accident. It didn’t affect her, being too young to remember his face, but it had been particularly devastating for her father, Jean Pierre. Armand was more than just his brother, he was one of his closest friends. And losing him was something that took years to get over. Jean Pierre had never truly gotten over it, but his work kept him occupied enough to not dwell on the bad things of the past.

Which was unfortunate, because if him and his wife had actually stayed in England, they might have recognized one of the new Ministry staff members at the time of the Order’s arrival. Francis Turin held very similar characteristics of Armand Ouellet, only slightly more aged. There was good reason for that, given that Francis and Armand were in fact, the same person. With her parents back in France however, Nicole never recognized the man for one of her own family. So his coming into and leaving the Ministry left no more impression on her other than the fact that he was a very impressive person. She never really got a chance to know him before he mysteriously disappeared from the Ministry.

Life continued on for Nicole, living in London, and traveling back to France whenever she wanted. Apparition and other ways of transportation always made it easy for her to return to England quickly if she happened to be vacationing when her job required her to be somewhere else. While she loved her home country, and was very prideful of her French roots, England became her home, and she settled well into the high society of London.

Once again, the woman had everything she could ever want, or had the funds to easily gain it. But Nicole wasn’t planning on staying in her small position at the Ministry forever. Women were not often found in positions of leadership, but Nicole was determined. Eventually, she’d find some way to get what she wanted. Not that she wanted to be the Minister, but she wanted more. More power, more authority.

And she would find a way. After all, it was in her blood.

It was impossible for Dianne to stay out of trouble. It wasn't that she was looking for trouble, it's just that trouble always managed to find her. Today she wished she could find something equally familiar but more comforting.

The five-year old girl hugged her puffskein closer to her and brushed her face in its soft fur for comfort. She had named him herself and he was always her special pet. No she was certain she had never gone down this side street before. Her anxiety increased every second as darkness fell as she walked down the road. A loud noise came to her left and she buried her face in her pet's fur completely. The scared girl bolted the opposite way slamming the both of them into the wall of the nearest building. Tottering back a few steps she found a door a few feet to her right and ran to open it. What light there was inside spilled out into the darkness and she spilled into the room.

Once in, she was caught between the impulse to curl her cloak up more tightly around her and loosen her grip on it. She wasn't alone anymore but she was now among strangers instead, which was nearly as terrifying. Her puffskein had recovered from the shock of the wall and now was purring contentedly as the girl hugged it, causing a mildly calming effect on the girl. Gathering her courage, she marched up to the nearest person, pulled on the nearest clothing hem and blurted out in a loud voice:

"I'm lost and it's dark and I wanted to know where I am but I'm not scared but I am worried that Sambundeakin is scared because he's little and needs something to eat and wants to go home."

She paused to draw a breath in her nearly never-ending sentence, "He misses my and his mommy."

To explain the scared girl held up the custard-colored puffskein. Sambundeakin the puffskein, however simply purred as if nothing on earth was wrong in the world.

Roleplay Response:
One more drink. That’s all she needed for this man to have before he would finally forget about his sexist viewpoints on women in society and agree to her proposition.

It wasn’t easy, being a woman in her day and age and constantly trying to climb the social and political ladders. Men thought they could do everything, and women were only good for a few things, in their eyes. Nicci was out to prove them wrong, and climb her way to the top before anyone realized what she was doing.

It wasn’t all too difficult either, considering the high social standard already set by her family name, and the large amounts of money that worked better than smooth talking. But most times, it wasn’t enough, because she wasn’t the head of the family, and she wasn’t a male. Often Nicole had to resort to other tactics.

She wasn’t going to sleep with him, Nicole wasn’t that desperate. Also, something of that nature was way beneath her. There were better ways, different forms of manipulation that would work towards her advantage. For this particular man, his love of firewhiskey was easily going to help her accomplish her goal.

Nicole was standing at the bar, getting the necessary drink, when she felt a tug on the hem of her dress. Sharply, she turned, ready to scold the person who would dare touch her, or the dress which cost more than anything most of the people in the room where wearing.

"I'm lost and it's dark and I wanted to know where I am but I'm not scared but I am worried that Sambundeakin is scared because he's little and needs something to eat and wants to go home."

The little girl was loud, and obnoxious, and holding what Nicci was sure was some sort of feral animal. A quick look around assured her that this girl did not belong to anyone in the near vicinity, probably not to anyone in the building.

"He misses my and his mommy."

“Ugh.” Nicole leaned away, trying to keep the animal away from her dress. “Get that thing away from me. Who knows what sort of diseases it has.” She gave the girl a glare, while taking two glasses from the bar.

“I’m not your mother, and I don’t care about that...whatever it is that you’re holding. Go find someone else to feed your sob story too. I’m busy here, little girl.”   

Without a second glass, Nicole left the girl standing there at the bar, heading back to her table and the important task at hand.
