Clementine Delaroche Draft
<!-- UNVERIFIED: Named “Clémentine Delaroche” in prep file and “Claudine Morel” in CSV roster — same character (identical role, disguises, and Lady in Grey identity). Keeper to confirm canonical name. Surname “Delaroche” matches Commissaire Jules Delaroche — coincidence or intentional? -->
Overview
Clémentine Delaroche is a shadow operative for the Société_Harmonique_de_l_Aube, a former gifted violinist at the Conservatoire whose encounter with Mathilde_Savarin transformed her into an urban operative specialising in tracking, shadowing, and preparing ambushes. She disguises herself as a courier, student, or servant depending on the assignment. Known as “The Lady in Grey” at the Paris Ball — she never danced, never spoke, and always turned away when approached. She is currently tailing the investigators in Lyon.
