Timelapse of me drawing a character sprite for my game, Crystal in Carnations. His name is Jean-Lou de la Rue and he is a cake-loving informant who dislikes being called a spy.

Jean-Lou had the misfortune of being born into this world with no name nor wealth, but lucky enough to have the wit and beauty to make up for it. His mother, Joan, was a maid to Arnoul Darche, a minor noble residing in the capital, who young Jean-Lou bore a striking resemblance to, though if asked no one ever admitted having noticed any such a thing. The man was happily married after all, even if none of his children looked like him, but there was no need to complicate such matters now was there.
After the maid Joan passed, lady Darche was very fast to show sympathy to the boy by sending him to keep company for an old relative living in the countryside, where the air would be better and the comparisons between him and Lord Darche much fewer. There Jean Lou was introduced to first minor events of the leisurely nobility and as he gained popularity he was soon permitted to attend the parties of those with much higher rank and status.
As the years flew by Jean-Lou came to be known as a social butterfly, a charming young man and an excellent companion as well as quite a proficient fighter. Jean- Lou knows how to navigate the life of nobles and has never lacked for anything in life, but neither does he own any fortune himself, ever depending on finding a new benefactor, not that he has had trouble with it so far. Indeed, with his companionship so sought after it soon became understood that there was nary a secret Jean-Lou wasn´t privy to, though he would never betray the secrets of one to another. Back-stabbing your benefactors, wasn’t after all a very good business model.
