Bio:
With feather duster in hand, Bêtte Noir was first introduced to a world in which class meant something and the help were VERY helpful. The product of a stereotypical but still sordid encounter between a naughty French maid and young Master of the house, she took to her mother’s vocation like a fish to water.

At the tender age of five, the bastard child and her mother were banished to the barren concrete jungle of the London slums after the lady of the house noticed the family resemblance. Already a cocky and resilient young thing, Miss Noir vowed to return to her father’s manor and reclaim the fortune that should rightfully be hers.

Upon realising the distance she would have to travel, she began work on fashioning a pair of shoes that would last the long journey home. A flash of inspiration led to the creation of her first pair of roller skates, and on her 18 th birthday she kissed her mother goodbye and set out on a skate that was to change her life forever.

Exhausted, but with thighs of steel, she finally arrived at the place of her birth only to find her father a broken man and the family fortune long disappeared — along with his wife, the butler, and the stable boy.

To this day, Bêtte Noir is still looking for her family fortune, hunting down the woman that stole the life that should have been hers. She’s not yet sure what she’ll do when she finds her, but be assured it will be violent and bloody, and possibly involve a skate to the face.
