The dishonourable Lady of Monteneuf is a dashing young lady with long blonde hair in a thick braid and pale skin. Her features are delicate, a perfect disguise for someone trying to avoid too much scrutiny into her business practices.

Most of the time is seen in a dashing naval uniform inspired outfit.

• Her favourite navy blue tricorn with white lace and the shield of the Compagnie de Glace (CDG).
• A navy blue frock coat inspired by navy uniforms with white lapels and cuffs, Gold-laced buttons and épaulettes.
• White dress beautifully detailed with white lace and embroidered pearls, and matching white gloves and stockings.
• Spanish rapier carried in a black and gold leather belt.
• A black leather purse with gold embellishments, it contains a pistol since she sees no need for being honourable.
• Black patent leather shoes with gold buckles.

She introduced the ice trade to the Empire, and that's where she made a lot of her money. She almost certainly would not have been in that position though unless her parents were rich, though it's unclear where they are now or to some extent even who they are. Her business practices have made sure that her family has not wanted to connect themselves too tightly with her.

While her business might be cutthroat, a lot of merchants are impressed by her ability to continually make risky bets that pay off well. And her products make her very popular with the nobility and has opened a lot of doors for her, no nobleman would serve whisky or brandy without ice from the CDG these days meaning that she has a lot of connections, and presumably a lot of blackmail material if required.

She doesn't really feel like she deserves to be empress, but she definitely is willing to risk it all to become empress given the situation that has very conveniently revealed itself.

While she isn't the sort of person who would kiss and tell, the fact that she might have kissed a socially unacceptable number of people might work both for or against her depending on the situation.
