Biography

Early Life

Thérèse Bruxelles was born on May 8, 1764 in Calais, France. Her mother and father were wealthy upper-class merchants who worked with many different companies across the world. Being born in the upper-class meant manners, grace, and respect for fellow upper-classmen, but Thérèse didn't fit any of these traits. Thérèse's parents tried to teach the important parts of being an upper-class citizen, but Thérèse found all of it boring. Thérèse was always into living life on the edge, doing things that her parents hated. Thérèse also had a tendency for violence and foul language, getting into countless fights at her school and verbally assaulting her tutors. Thérèse's parents knew for a fact that they couldn't change their daughter, so they just accepted her for who she was. When Thérèse was 18 years old, she came home one day to find her home partially on fire. With butterflies in her stomach, Thérèse rushed into her house and found three random men in the house slit her father's throat. Thérèse' eyes burst with tears as the men noticed her. One of the men began to walk up to her, but Thérèse thought ahead and charged at the man and hit him in the chest. The man fell on his back as Thérèse took the pistol that was on his waist. Thérèse looked into the man's eyes, that were noticeably full of fear, and shot him in the head. Thérèse looked at the other two men who looked shocked. Thérèse took the knife that belonged to the man she killed and walked up to the two others. The two men snapped out of it and one of them swung his knife to her head. Thérèse ducked in time and took the opportunity to drive her knife into his stomach, then his head when he bent over. The final man looked at Thérèse as if she was the devil himself and began to look for a way out, but the only exit was the front door, and Thérèse stood in the way. Thérèse walked up to the third man and stabbed him in the chest and glared into his eyes as he died. With her parents dead, Thérèse gathered her things and began to live her life on the streets.

Attention

Thérèse spent the next few years of her life living on the streets, a life she was actually okay with. It was full of violence, and Thérèse, of course, loved violence. As Thérèse got older, her skills at using pistols also improved drastically. Thérèse would enter shooting competitions and she showed other men that though she was a woman, she was more skilled than all of them put together. On February 18, 1789, Thérèse was sitting in a tavern drinking some rum, when a woman wearing skimpy clothes entered the tavern. Thérèse knew she didn't look like the type of woman who would be at a tavern regularly and decided to keep an eye on her. The woman then walked up to Thérèse and asked her if she wanted work. Thérèse looked up confused and asked what kind of work, to which the woman said she needed some weapons delivered to a certain location in Paris. Thérèse decided to take the job, she had done some smuggling in her past and was looking to booster up her reputation. The woman introduced herself as Marguerite Lavenduz and gave Thérèse a note that had all of the details needed. Thérèse looked at the note later that day and the note said that the stash of weapons was hidden uderneath a certain tile at the docks, then once they were collected, Thérèse was to travel to an street next to the Notre Dame Cathedral where an associate would pick them up. The note also cautioned Thérèse to be careful as the docks were being guarded by men who were associated with a group that were enemies of Lavenduz, but the note didn't give them a name. Thérèse set out the next night to the docks with two pistols and a dagger and just as the note predicted, the docks were guarded by at least eight men. Thérèse crept her way to the docks and followed what the note said: Go forward, then go to the right, the weapons should be under the sixth tile. Thérèse did as the note said and moved with the shadows to remain unseen. Thérèse made it to the sixth tile on the right and it was loose, so she took it off and found that there was a whole four feet deep and six feet wide, and in it was a black bundle that heald undisclosed weapons. Thérèse was able to sneak out without any of the men seeing her and began her journey to the Notre Dame Cathedral. After two and a half days, Thérèse made it to Paris. Thérèse was immediately taken in awe of the complete size of the city , life everywhere, all different sights and sound. The people however, weren't so great, there were almost riots on every single street Thérèse passed through, and it made navigation difficult. After five hours, Thérèse finally found the street that she was supposed to deliver the weapons. Thérèse waited around for the associate to show up, then spotted three men walk near her. Before she could blink, Thérèse found herself pinned to the wall by to of the men as the third approached her while laughing. Thérèse knew what was about to happen and used her free legs to kick the man behind her in the groin. While the other two were distracted, Thérèse took advantage to sweep one of them off his feet then punching the third in the face. Thérèse was tired and decided for once to show mercy and yelled for them to leave. As the three men ran away, Thérèse heard clapping to her left and standing there was LaVenduz. Thérèse asked LaVenduz why she didn't help her, to which LaVenduz revealed that the whole mission was a test to see if Thérèse was good enough for her Order. When Thérèse asked what Order she was reffering to, LaVenduz told Thérèse to be patient, as she would know in due time.
