Few know what Bécacine really looks like, as she constantly changes her appearance by means mundane and arcane -- even her height, weight, eye and hair colour and facial features. Likewise, her age is difficult to determine. In her natural (and often disguised) state, Bécacine is a very beautiful woman who likely has some Vistana blood in her family tree. She can play the role of a chameleon and blend into most crowds, if she so chooses, and has a wardrobe to match... but at other times, she intentionally sets herself apart from the crowd.

Bécacine's origins are a mystery. Her services as an escort are in relatively high demand, and she entertains some of her clients in a comfortable flat near the junction of the Quartier Marchand, Quartier Ouvrier, et Quartier Public (on the southeast end of the Quartier Marchand). The location of her flat grants her easy access to a very diverse clientele. Though not of aristocratic background herself, she has spent enough time in the company of aristocrats that she can pass herself off as one. Bécacine enjoyed both growing repute and protection while the DuSuis family ran Port-à-Lucine. Yet following the Night of the Long Knives and the disappearance of her best clients and protectors, life became much more difficult and prone to violence at the hands of the Renniers and other crime families and their associates, some of whom have taken their pleasure without paying for the service. She has dreamed for three long years of exacting revenge against those who took away her security... and now, the time has come... change is in the air, and the darkness has whispered that the bastards will pay...

Alphonse Audet is a gendarme who patrols Bécacine's neighbourhood. Though he has a wife and children, he has a weakness for Bécacine. She sometimes gives Alphonse "freebies", and the man sometimes shares more than he ought with her regarding criminal investigations and internal affairs at the gendarmerie. Grants either +2 Diplomacy when dealing with the gendarmerie, or +2 Knowledge (local)... DM's choice.
