Raised in dire poverty from the tender nail, Ysane grew up and learned to accept everything as it was. She accepted her father's second wife, Albine and got used to calling her mother and her children brothers and sisters. That wasn't too hard to accept because her own mother died short after she have birth to her and Ysane never knew her. She also learned to go to sleep without eating or to il and moil for her younger brothers and sisters. She even learned to accept death as a natural thing.
But Binet, a member of the bourgeois and the eldest child of his family changed her and showed her how to hope for a better life. Of course, he also showed her other things, since Ysane gave birth to one baby girl, who tragically died at the age of two and a set of twins, during their six years long affair.
But Binet's departure for Paris in the fall of 1629 made Ysane reconsider her and her children's lives.
One year later she abandoned her children, leaving them in her parents and sister's care and married her younger sister's widower.The two of them, along with Claire (her husband's daughter from his first marriage) moved out in a nearby village.

Character Alignment: Good
Class: Bourgeoisie (Advocate)

From early childhood, Binet knew that as his father's oldest son, everyone had high expectations from him. And he never ceased to satisfy those expectations. He went to school, helped his parents with their trades and looked for his younger siblings.
Of course, the fact that he learned how to write and compute didn't transform the young boy into a genius or an intellectual and he knew that all too well. Despite fulfilling everyone's expectations, Binet never considered what he really wanted from his life.
His affair with Ysane, a poor girl from their village proved to be his way of evading from the adults' complicate world.
Unfortunately for both of them, sooner or later, Binet had to face his responsibilities, leave the village and go to school in Paris. His parents had other plans for him and soon, the young man became an advocate, married with a nobleman's bastard slip.

Class: Bourgeoisie (born as the illegitimate daughter of a Count)

Even if her mother died when she was very young and she was raised by her father's wife, Alanete never blamed anybody for the unfortunate death. Nor for her father's marriage, because Alesia always considered her and Caroline her own children.So Alanete grew up and became a dutiful daughter and when the moment for her to get married came, she accepted the first proposal.
Being her father's illegitimate daughter, she already knew that she will never enjoy the same privileges Alesia's daughter will grow accustomed to, so she convinced her father to arrange her marriage with the oldest son from a bourgeois family who wanted to work as an advocate in Paris.
With the money from her dowry, her husband's family bought a house somewhere in Faubourg Saint-Honoré and the two newlyweds soon found themselves on their own.
Her husband proves to be a capable advocate and in their first year he managed to acquire a vast clientele, while Alanete learned how to take care of the house and children, while she secretly also concerned herself about her their family's finances.Thanks to her, their first years in the city increased their capital.
