Name: Sophie Lamarque
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Affiliation: Neo-France
MS: GF3-019NFII Antoinette's Gundam
Appearance: A pretty, regal-looking young woman with light peach skin complexion, fair blond hair tied into two
long braids hanging behind her, and sparkling round green eyes and fair lips. She is otherwise petite, standing at a meager 4'9 height with a slender, humble build, and can be seen wearing a tight white-and-grey ballroom dress and high heel shoes in almost
any situation. Her Mobile Trace System suit is of the same general color scheme.
History:
Sophie is the sole surviving descendent of the famous
General Jean Maximilien Lamarque, a military commander and member of the French Parliament during and after Emperor Napoleon's reign in Ancient France, and is one of the few remaining 'true' nobility lines (descended from the families of Ancient France proper rather than just from pre-Future Century France) remaining in Neo-France today. Although Sophie has a lot to live up to ever since birth, being schooled in a prestigious private school and given tutors to teach her math, ballroom dancing, science and etiquette, Sophie has also been taught by her father and mother to inherit --- and display --- her ancestor Lamarque's humble, loyal demeanor, with the dedication to people and country that made 'General Lamarque' so famous even past his end. Unfortunately, although she had learned to be loyal and moral, Sophie seems to have trouble keeping the 'humble' part in mind; After all, she
was General Lamarque's last descendent, and in Sophie's mind deserved more respect from the common masses despite whether or not how good her efforts to serve the people were. As such, although otherwise a healthy, ethically sound and fine young woman, and not exactly outright brash or arrogant enough for everyone to outright hate her, Sophie nonetheless grew up to be aloof, pampered and a little indulgent --- half of a disappointment in the Lamarque bloodline.
At the age of 12, as per family tradition, Sophie was enlisted by her family into military training and service and sent off to Neo-France's Royal Military Academy, but even before she was enlisted the
General of the school knew that Sophie was not to be soldier material; instead, the Academy had other plans for her, and sent her into Special Training at another facility --- learning and training in duelling and combat and, ultimately, the usage of the Gundam Fighter, as one of Neo-France's most promising candidates.
However, despite her quick study and dancing prowess and movement expertise, Sophie's aloof, uncooperative nature eventually also cost her candidacy, and former soldier and excelling candidate Alexandre Loussier was instead selected as Neo-France's representative for the 3rd Gundam Fight. Recent events, however, called for Loussier's replacement, and as immediate runner-up Sophie was selected...even though it was argued that Sophie might not be the best choice at all to replace him.

Ultimate Attacks:
Danse de Fantaisie (Dance of Fancy) --- Using the Robe de Lumière, Antoinette's Gundam takes to flying around and making repeated downwards spinning kicks with its drillhead heels while pursuing the opponent in mid-air (picture Rugal's Genocide Cutter in reverse and performed in mid-air). Simple-yet-nimble move designed to surprise and press at opponents.
Danse de l'Extrémité Imminente (Dance of the Imminent End) --- Antoinette's Gundam detaches the Robe de Lumière from itself, holds it in its hand, and ignites its Beam Ring Blade, turning the Robe de Lumière into a giant guillotine (akin to Tira's weapon in Soul Caliber 3 and 4). There are two variants to this attack: the first is to simply keep the Ring Blade held in the Gundam's hand and make a flurry of quick, accurate blows with it, while the second variant is to toss the Ring Blade, which flies at opponents and returns to the Antoinette's Gundam like a boomerang after a very short period. The second variant consumes a lot of energy and fuel if performed more than twice, however, and is very rarely used.
