| Bio: |  Genevieve was born in the mild winter of early 1910 to the d'Este family, a middle-upper class Parisian family who mainly survived on running the rather popular bar/cafe "Le Passant". Her father owned the establishment and bartended most evenings while her mother cooked and served in the cafe. She had one elder brother and one younger sister, but being the middle child never seemed to keep Genevieve down. She went all the way through grammar school and even dared to go onto a woman's college as a young lady studying literature. Originally, she wanted to teach, but plans rarely work out. Gene's mother died of consumption just after the first war swept through France. Business suffered and though she kept to her schoolings, the family did have their harder times. Then rumors of a second war started. Both her father and brother suspected they would be going off to fight again. Genevieve had to leave her continued schoolings to come back and help with Le Passant lest the bar be left with no one to keep it should war hit. And, sure enough, in May of 1940 the Germans began rolling through France. Genevieve's father was killed in early June and her brother soon followed according to letters. She and her sister never got to see the bodies. Le Passant, then, fell into Genevieve's hands. She's a more than capable hostess, always having the spark for hospitality in her blood and a fiery attitude. She also makes a very mean gimlet. She sings on occasion, but she leaves the true entertainment for the burlesque girls she hires to keep people's spirits high. Somehow, she's managed to remain open but only because she's begrudingly opened her doors to French and German alike. Her most stead fast rule is that the war is to be left at the door. If only that were truly possible, she'd be a happy woman. | |||||||||
