Josée Capucine Dorleac
Princess Josée Capucine Dorleac Casabianca
Princess Capucine Dorleac is the eldest daughter of Francisco I, from his second wife Catherine Dorleac. At the age of 2, Capucine, along with her mother and younger sister, was exiled to Brunhilde Palace by her father.
Here, her mother remarried the lord of Brunhilde, Henri Lugo, and Catherine began the education of her daughters in politics as a woman. Her goal was to see her daughters in advanatgeous marriages that would erase the scorn of being rejected by their father. Catherine eventually took in the daughter of a Ponteic lord, Lucius Aurelius, and also raised Claudia Aurelia with the same intent as any of her own daughters.
Claudia and Capucine were deeply close during their teenage years, though they went their seperate ways once Capucine became engaged to Lord Peter Valois. Their wedding took place in 1549 at the Palace d'Orsay, Valois's estate. Francisco I was in attendance, marking his first acknowledgement of Capucine since her exile. Many say this was prompted by his wife at the time, Sabina De Domenicio.
Capucine and Peter Valois has three children: Francis Dorleac Valois in 1550, Pascale Dorleac Valois in 1554, and Severine Dorleac Valois in 1556. Two years after the birth of their youngest child, Peter Valois died in the Sack of Ad Pontes, specifically in the Battle of Villa Milles. The widowed Capucine returned to her mother at Brunhilde. Upon the death of her son Francis in 1570, Capucine withdrew from social circles entirely. It is only after the War of the Usurper that she has reemerged into society.
Personality and Appearance
Capucine has the typical look of a Dorleac woman - round, blue eyes, golden hair, and height that trumps even some men. She is said to look quite frail since the death of her husband and son. Marco Aria asserts that her wrists are the size of rapiers. However, Capucine is said to be strong willed and sharp, certainly her mother's daughter. She understands the importance of presentation and knows how to navigate politics as a woman.
