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.
