Complot À Versailles
This project is based on a book I bought in France called Complot À Versailles, and it features the names of eight women. I adopted the names from the book and created personas and a story for them. My story is set in the city of Versailles, following the book's setting, and my friends have lent their faces to the characters. In my story, all eight characters were born on the same day, August 29th, 2003, and they live scattered throughout the city, one in each of the eight districts.
Annie: “Chapter 1”
Pauline is cheerful. She sees life as an adventure and likes to come up with her own stories. She can be herself around strangers. People have said that she is easy to trust.
Pauline gets annoyed when people ask if everything is okay just because she's quiet or not smiling. The Americans in Italy were a nightmare for her. She hates pretense.
Hildie has been an outsider and lonely her entire life. It doesn't bother her. She likes to observe others. Inside her head, she has other people's experiences and memories, which she has only watched from the sidelines. She views the world in the third person, detached.
Héloïse is strict towards others; She cannot tolerate her own insecurities in other people. Later in life, Héloïse will learn how to handle her own insecurities. She will realize that showing and accepting them is confidence.
Luisa feels like an old granny on her deathbed. She looks at her life through the eyes of her older self. Sometimes she thinks that life isn't real. In reality, she is an elderly person lying in a hospital, living only inside her head.
Luisa thinks that life is just a small trick that needs to be figured out. She calls it "the reverse death investigation." She knows she is dying and can't wait to find out what leads to it.
